What are the chances
of that opportunist fuck Clarke using this to railroad the ID card bill through the commons?

What are the chances
of anyone giving a toss about Bob Geldof for a while?

Good point.
Rather distracting, isn't it?

Both of these.

Where's Bono when you need him?
I'm sure that he could have saved everyone.

More importantly
is everyone OK? I luckily caught a train out of East Croydon, and everything's stopping at Haywards Heath now (If you know the are)

brighton has been closed apparently
so that would back up all the trains on that line

I hope that's just a precaution

A colleague has just told me that there
have been blasts at both Swindon & Brighton stations.

She may be following similarly errant news feeds as me, though (i.e. IMs from mates who are hearing rumours)

In all honesty I would not mind having one
as long as the police and things were sensible about but
But I do seriously object to being made to pay for it

It's a bit late to decide you don't want it
once the police and things stop being sensible about it, though.

This never would have happened,
if we'd had ID cards. Assuming, of course, that all terrorists will have "terrorist" listed as their occupation on said card.
( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Thu 7 Jul 2005, 12:00, archived)

the landing cards you fill in when visiting USA say
"Have you even been involved in any terrorist activities or belonged to a terrorist organisation?"

That would be a tough question for a terrorist to dodge. (sarcasm)

Are you telling me
that terrorists are liars?

"Sir, I see that for the question on membership of terrorist organisations,
you've crossed out Yes, and written No."
Yeah, silly me! I thought it said "Organised Crime"*...
