Still on the “it doesn’t add up” schtick I’m afraid. This email sent to
Interesting People is a good analysis, and
Craig Murray has more on some of the other elements:
One aspect of the alleged bomb plot which has provided a tremedous boost to the atavists, is the so-called “Baby bottle bomb” … there is nothing uniquely Islamic about infanticide. Indeed, in the last two days the news bulletins have covered prominently the stories of a British man who allegedly jumped from a balcony clutching his two children in Crete, and the inquest on a woman who threw herself under her train with her nine year old child.
Horrible? Yes. Have Muslims wreaked more horror on the World, either historically or in the last five years, than those professing other religions? No.
The leaks and spin coming from various “sources” bother me as well. If there is actually a plot, if there is evidence, have these guys got a chance of a fair trial? No. You know what that means? No conviction, we can’t get the bastards. If they’re actually guilty (and every day that if gets bigger), then we need to get them jailed. Trial by media is a bad idea, right?

Busy, in case you hadn’t figured. In the meantime, I’ve linked a few times to
Steve, who it turns out is randomly a friend of a former housemate of mine and Paul’s, although we’ve never met, small world. Anyway, he now writes for new blog/news site,
The Slant, which I’m plugging because, well, it’s good.
His first article:
Thousands of pupils received their A-level results today, and amazingly the UK seems to be getting more intelligent than ever!
In the spirit of the occasion, the rest of this article will be multiple choice:
Seriously, go read the rest. For the record, he thinks even less of Ruth Kelly than me. Seriously, it is possible. Anyway…
What should I write next?
I’ve been busy at work (see terror alerts and false flags, all over the newspapers and below), but it’s about time I wrote a decent, substantive article. I’ve got 3 in my mind, fleshed out to a point where I just need to find time to type them up. Which d’you want first?
- The Cameron Project: What he’s up to and why it should work
- Tactical Voting: It’s a myth, it doesn’t exist (seriously)
- House of Lords reform: I missed Lords Reform day on here, but put up a few links on my journal (Blogger went down), I could flesh that out a bit?
Anyone got a preference? Also…
Blogger Beta
I’ve been playing around with the new version of Blogger (via) here, it does actually seem rather good, so even though there isn’t a 3-column option (yet), I’ll likely switch when they’ll let me, the good bits more than outweigh the bad. Category tags for a start, and easy feed displays &c. So expect a few weirdnesses as I do silly stuff to get it to work. I’m so not looking forward to going back to label every post.
