If this is a hoax Tony Blair and his Labour Government must resign in
disgrace.

Oh yeah, I'm sure Blair would love to disrupt all European travel,
cause untold delay at the airports just for a good laugh. Probably
just to **** YOU off.

It's no hoax. 21 Terrorist democrats have been arrested in London for the
terror scheme .

I'm surprised terrorists would attempt to blow up planes again as they
are by far the most difficult target and there are much easier pickings
available.

They were arrested in their homes and there's been no time yet to
interrogate them properly, but how did they know they were going to
target aircraft? I suppose it must have been when they all went off and
bought tickets to America but it will be interesting to know why they
weren't arrested long before that.

We, the brits that is, have been told that a terrorist attack is
imminent. They obviously haven't caught them all then. Why not if
they're so clever? Why did they let some of them get away in the first
place? Do they know what they look like? What their names are?
Shouldn't they put out photo's of them so we can look out for them?

Is our Commander in Chief going to address us from the poolside, if he
can sober up long enough? I'm so glad that he managed to get away just
in the nick of time.

What ****es me off is that I want to know how the negotiations are
going on at the UN. It's bad enough that all the news programmes
yesterday led on the Camilla bug story, including newsnight. I hope
that this story isn't going to get the Forest Gate treatment.
That went on all day long. There is no excuse blacking out all other
news. I noticed as well that when John Reed and gave his news
conference this morning that it was impossible to hear what questions
the Journalists were asking due to a faulty P.A. system. They need to
get that fixed straight away.

Terrorists aren't democrats. They are fanatic religious conservatives.

There are easier pickings, but for a limited number of targets,
airplanes are an excellent (excellent, that is, for nutcase terrorists)
way to disrupt a much larger area. 9/11 only involved 4 airplanes, yet
shut down airtravel in the US for a week.


They were arrested in their homes and there's been no time yet to
interrogate them properly, but how did they know they were going to
target aircraft? I suppose it must have been when they all went off and
bought tickets to America but it will be interesting to know why they

Simple, to try and learn as much about the organization as possible.
They wait as long as they can to find all of their contacts and see who
else might be involved.

15 of the 19 terrorists on 9/11 were registered democrats. The other 4
were libertarians. Republicans don't support terrorism.

Guess what. These arrests were in the UK -- no democrats or republicans
there, you're lying. No surprise there.

Republicans cause terrorism, the world knows that. Ann Coulter has come
out publicly calling for the murder of someone she doesn't like.
