Life in London’s (wild) West End
Well well, what a jolly exciting few days it was last week. London seems, over the last few days, to spiralled into a terrorist theme park – not so much Londonistan as Hamas World of Adventures. In fact, we haven’t had this much excitement since the rozzers mounted cavalry charges into the great seething unwashed mass of soap dodging Poll Tax protestors.
So, now we have camel jockey’s running around the capital trying to blow themselves & everybody else up, which is hardly suprising when you consider the latest YouGov polls on this matter
YouGov sought to gauge the character of the Muslim community's response to the events of July 7. As the figures in the chart show, 88 per cent of British Muslims clearly have no intention of trying to justify the bus and Tube murders.
However, six per cent insist that the bombings were, on the contrary, fully justified. Six per cent may seem a small proportion but in absolute numbers it amounts to about 100,000 individuals who, if not prepared to carry out terrorist acts, are ready to support those who do.
Moreover, the proportion of YouGov's respondents who, while not condoning the London attacks, have some sympathy with the feelings and motives of those who carried them out is considerably larger - 24 per cent.
A substantial majority, 56 per cent, say that, whether or not they sympathise with the bombers, they can at least understand why some people might want to behave in this way.
Nice people, eh?
Then on Friday, the coppers have taken to brassing up some Brazilian electrician on the tube at Stockwell station.. in error! Oophs.
To stout bulldogs, this is nothing new – after all, the police have been known to shoot people for being armed with nothing more lethal than a chair leg in a bag. In fact, shooting electricians is perfectly understandable as I found out last night when the lights in the barn failed … & if I can get my hands on the spawney eyed git that fitted them, believe you me, he will be looking forward to being shot, by the time Mrs FM has finished with him.
This however hasn’t stopped the latest media outrage frenzy & reports of the Muslim Council of Great British Suicide Bombers considering their response to the Police’s shoot to kill policy.
“While we accept that the police are under tremendous pressure to apprehend the criminals who are attempting to cause carnage on the streets of London, it is absolutely vital that utmost care is taken to ensure that innocent people are not killed due to overzealousness,” said Sir Iqbal Sacranie, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain.
But of course, the Musos are allowed to express such concerns ... I mean as the YouGov polls show, they are all such loyal subjects. Not one of them would support these terrorists, not one ... but 100,000 of them.
Next up is of course the Brazilians … who seem to be either ‘outraged’ or ‘going to sue’ (no surprises there, dear readers!). Of course, Brazil is the country that has no gun crime what so ever & people are shot on the streets on a daily basis. But, when it comes to outrage, scale & reason have absolutely no place.
In any case, what exactly are the Brazilians going to do about it – place a trade embargo on the export of silly South American music that all sounds the same? Or maybe more worryingly, stop us importing their errrrrr interesting wax treatments. But next time a copper tells you to stop – probably best to – they & just about everybody else around here, are in no mood whatsoever for messing around.
