bomb alerts and stuff

where has the NY times been? that theory was the daily mirror splash two weeks ago on saturday; it had been doing the rounds in this office for two days before that. jesus christ.

x-post

So you've not seen any media commentators or people on the internet saying "tragic mistake, but we musn't blame the police or try to prevent them doing it again, and besides he really shouldn't have ran...", then?

"However horrific the bombings in London on 7th July and however important it is to secure the safety of the public, there can be no excuse for the police adopting a shoot to kill policy which guns down innocent people in cold blood."

i mean are they fucking kidding? 'in cold blood'?

Read over someone's shoulders that one of the failed bombers thought he was going to get 80 virgins in paradise. Yeah, right, who does he think he is, fucking Magnum?

Apparently, if it is him and he cooperates with the police, he'll get a "discount" on his virgins.

no, sociah, you are the first person ever to note the ironing there!

as is "CUBA" and others

the newsdesk next to me

what, all one of them? :)

as for the virgins ... i thought it was round here that someone posted a vastly amusing "72 virgins 'bitterly disappointed'" headline after the failed bombings last week. wherever it was, it made me laff.

Who's Fingerbang? Any relation to Fingermouse?

fingerbang was the boyband formed by cartman in southpark.

...according to a random blogger.

From elsewhere on that site, and about the July 7th bombers:

It's beyond doubt that these four Muslims were framed. They were most likely hired as MI6 spies, sent to Pakistan and then brought back and told they were to take part in an important exercise to test national security. Give them the rucksacks, get them on the trains and then detonate the bombs remotely.

Website that carried al-Qaida claim has connections to Bush family

The server in Houston has intriguing connections. Everyone's Internet was founded by brothers Robert and Roy Marsh in 1998 and by 2002 had an income of more than $30m (now about £17m).

Renowned for his charitable work, Roy Marsh counts among his friends President George Bush's former sister-in-law, Sharon Bush, and the president's navy secretary.

(the headline is from the conspiracy website, the rest of the post a quote from the Grauniad)

It's funny because my former employers - a tiny web-retailing company - host their websites on that company's servers! I just thought we were using a rather cheap hosting supplier - I didn't realise we must have been best friends with the Bush family too!

Hello,

I am the 'random blogger' to which you allude above. My site is www.strangeisnotafruit.blogs.com , firstly thank you for stopping by. The story regarding the odd looking CCTV footage is in fact an interesting case study but not the sum total of evidence showing that the London Bombings were an inside job(far from it). You may also be interested to note that the picture you mention can be found, in identical form as presented on my site, from all mainstream media websites as well official government sites. It may well be an optical illusion though on further study the bending elbow theory is actually highly implausible.

Nevertheless I am not a big fan of grainy picture evidence myself and am not a fan of conspiracy theories either.....accept the ones that are true ;0)

I hope that you will stop by again and review the data on my site, I welcome constructive feedback and only wish to know the truth and expose the liars.

Thanks for your time,

Kind regards

Phil

You are completely mad.

For all intents and purposes you are probably loooking at an edited picture. For more on this story go to www.breakfornews.com , they have run a more indepth expose on the doctored photo.

Please stop by my site again, If you want to hear real questions being asked in regards to the London Bomings and other such evils I asure you you will find them on my site. Hell, you may even find yourself asking questions you didn't even know existed. I'm a man of reason and logic, not a tin foil hat wearer.....in fact hats don't so me at all so being the vain guy I am I would sooner have my brain cooked and filled with instructions from the big eyed grays on who to kill when i reach chapter 5 of 'catcher in the rye' than wear a hat ;0)

Kind regards to all and especially anyone affected by the London Bombings,

Thanks for visiting,

Phil

And obviously that wouldn't have happened unless the person creating the forgery wanted it to be obvious that it wasn't real. So yeah, I think this theory is quite obviously bunk.

Way to go Britons!

The first picture had shown him at Westbourne Park Tube station wearing a short-sleeved dark blue England football shirt and dark trousers

uh oh! ban football!

Since when did England have dark blue football shirts?

There was a very heavy police presence on the underground this morning. I was quite impressed.
