Fookin why do they really bother......

Would much rather have delays at airports etc knowing that extra security checks are taking place. (Who's to say one of these bombers aren't actually working in airport security??).

I heard this on TV this morning over breakfast. These fuckers need to be routed out and tortured

I live in the flight path for Leeds/Bradford airport. Don't think we have any USA flights but we do have plenty to London. Can't see them blowing one up just after takeoff but you just never know.

If I was going on a flight I would accept the holdups as necessary, however annoying they may be as at the end of the day it's being done to protect us all.

Further news on the link posted above now (the story has been updated):

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said: "We believe that these arrests (in London) have significantly disrupted the threat, but we cannot be sure that the threat has been entirely eliminated or the plot completely thwarted."


They would almost certainly intend to hit all the major cities then, Leeds, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newscastle etc etc. so I guess Leeds and Bradford could be a target....

I'm so glad I work in a little hick town away from the city now!

Either way the sick fucks deserve far more punishment than british law allows us to give them

I completely and totally disagree 100% with the actions of these terrorists, but i do actually sympathise with their cause to a certain extent, sadly all they are doing though is generating even more racial hatred against them making it less likely not more likely that the suffering of thier people in other countries will stop IMHO

Its is frustrating though that the only way the british media will show interest in any cause is if their is mass murder and devestation, so its kind of hard to get a voice through any legitamate means which compounds the problem

People always put it down to George Bush and oil, we HAVE TO side with America, no other fuckers like us and wouldnt stand up for us, but yet again we bow down trying not to be racist and we come up short, we're soft as shit and now we're paying the price.

Did you know that 24% of the Muslims in this country supported the 7/7 attacks, great huh...

Im personally not convinced that we have to stand for america as i dont believe we need anyone to stand up for us, but i cant claim to fully understand the economics of the situation, i just think its a shame if our morals are for sale to the highest bidder.

I think that 24% figure was probably higher than is realistic due to a leading question being asked, but even if that isnt the case dont forget that means that 3 times more of them feel the same way as you and i do about these scum, people keen to tar all muslims with the same brush seem to forget that!

Why do you think that it was higher than realistic, i thought to myself i reckon its even higher than that, would you admit to something like that if the question was posed ?

Unfortunately, it will be the case that all Muslims will get tarred with the same brush, my sis in law is a muslim and she's not a psycho, well, actually she is but thats another story, everytime i travel to London im looking about on the train, on the tube, on buses, when i fly i check everyone out just in case and that is not what this once great country is about, we're surrendering to foreigners plain and simple, how i wish i was PM, i'd sort this shit hole out !

The reasons i believe the figure was too high are:

The reporter's posing the question no doubt WANTED a high figure as thats what sells papers, so they would have asked leading questions in areas where they believed the support for the terrorists to be highest, they werent looking for an accurate figure so why would they find one by accident?

I know many muslims and NONE of them would answer yes to that question

What little I know of the muslim faith condems these sort of actions against innocent people
