If I want to smoke in a pub, I will. Kids shouldn't be in there in the first place.

I remember reading in the Times about three weeks ago that there would be a terrorist attack in London when Brown took power. And how convenient that arrests have already been made. And how suspiciously lucky that ALL the bombs were caught 'just in time'. Take a look at these articles too:

According to this morning's Sunday Times, "Sources suggested the government was likely to use the latest attacks as an opportunity to impose tougher control orders on those terror suspects it has been unable to jail because of a lack of evidence admissible in court.

Seven of the 17 people so far placed on control orders have absconded in recent months. They include a suspect who was previously said to have been interested in carrying out a car bomb attack against a London night-club. The tougher controls would include longer curfews and police guards on suspects’ homes. "

These measures must cost taxpayers a lot. Why can't we just send these people back to their native countries, or if they were born here, to their parents/grandparents native countries. Human rights are a fine concept, but if you ask me, anyone willing to carry out the kind of activity we have seen this week should lose their entitlement to stay in this country immediately.

Sounds like the Scots have the right idea!
An eye witness has told of the man who ddrove the car into the Glasgow Airport ran from the car on fire, he was actually fighting police, this witness tackled the burning man to the ground.
Another man saw the passenger with a petrol bomb in his hand leaning out of the passenger window as the driver rammed the car into the building, reversed and tried to ram it again, obviously didn't do the damage they had wished.
They've caught them thank god! (the real god)
Check out bbc.com lots of video and recordings from the witnesses.

Terror Alert News.

The British Isles are currently feeling the pinch with regard to recent bombings and security threats, and as a result have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" and possibly even "Rather Cross."

Londoners have not been "Rather Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when supplies of tea all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

Also, the French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." This particular rise in alert level was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

It's not only the English and French that are on heightened levels of alert. Italy has raised its own level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly while Gesticulating" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two higher levels remain under consideration: "Ineffective Combat Operations", and "Change Sides."

The Germans have, of course, increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress up in Well-Tailored Uniforms and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels under consideration: "Invade a Neighbor", and "Lose."

After seeing what happened with the bombing in Scotland, are you worried that we are next again? What do you think about the bombing there? I feel bad for those people and all people who have to watch there back cause these idiots have nothing else to do.

Sure you can.
All you have to do is withhold your income taxes (your employer must if you tell him) and not file a return, and the government will have to come after you....and you know the liberals, they forgive criminals and give them all their Constitutional rights in court and all....so its a cakewalk for you guys.

Its basic message, in case y'all didn't go, is:

The GOP said America didn't have the money for national health care security for Americans in America to save American lives, but they spent a trillion taxpayer bucks to invade other countries and kill people.

Whether you like it or not that is a fact.
The GOP did say that, when they laughed at Hillary's health care plan in 1995.
And they did spend a trillion $ to invade other countries & kill people.

It all seems a bit too convenient to me, new prime minister wanting to promote the war on terror and make himself look the big hero. nobody gets hurt, the wonderful new prime minister saves the day, but makes sure the whole nation is still in fear and believe in the war on terror.
i mean there is cctv everywhere in london, and this guy supposedly drove erratically into some rubbish bins or something and then ran away, he must have left some sort of evidence behind, or they must have got a shot of him on TV

i duno it all just seems a bit suss to me....what you guys reckon?
