The best that the PC Brigade can come up with

Acrylic-bob · 08-08-2005, 05:56

Britain, according to an article in yesterdays Independent, is under threat not just of random terrorist attacks but stands in danger of having to face Insurgency. Apparently the security services are warning that up to 10,000 people in this country may have been through terrorist training camps and are capable of handling automatic weapons and high explosives.

A German newspaper columnist criticised Europe as Cowards for its policy of appeasement of terrorists. Likening the current policies to that of Neville Chamberlain and his "Peace in our time" speech before the outbreak of World War Two. And we all know what that led to.
He claims that the European powers should have gone in and kicked Hitler out at the first sign of trouble but that we were too frightened to do that and preferred to wait for the Americans to come and do it for us.

56 people are dead, London is bristling with 6000 extra police officers who havent had a day off since July 7th and the whole performance is costing MILLIONS. (Actually if you take lost earnings into account the figure is estimated to be £2.5 Billion and rising)

And the best that HAZEL BLEARS, the minister responsible, can come up with is contained in this report in this mornings Times.

REBRANDING...!...

Absolutely stupid, and a waste of time and money.

When we should be uniting against terrorism, by all people being proud to be British that live here, this is just devisive.

I wonder how much this silly plan cost to execute?

Angry Welsh British.

One supposes that if Ms Blears were to take in a stray dog which then savaged one of her children she would not have it put down but would spend thousands on canine psychologists in an attempt to persuade the animal to integrate more closely with the family and refer to it subsequently as the Hamster.

Furious Roman/Norman/Scottish/English-Briton.

I heard this on teh radio this morning. Whats wrong with BRITISH! Just that, BRITISH. If you want to be known as something else then do it elsewhere. The ports and airports are over there......>

Colour of skin does not need a different description. We are all the same.

WillowTheWhisp · 08-08-2005, 09:04

Exactly! Either British or go and be something else somewhere else. If you ahve a British passport - you're British.

I don't give a flying fig what colour somebody's skin is or where their great granny came from. It used to be that you were the nationality of the country you were born in.

And this is going to stop terrorism exactly how?

While we're at it: How come the Welsh get to be Welsh and the Scots get to be Scottish but the English can only be British? That's discrimination that is. Equality for the English!

have read a great deal of utter crap in my lifetime,but this is up there with the best of them,is some cretin saying if we give them a acceptable title,then this will help the murdering scumbags be good people and behave?? --- or have i misread it?

lettie · 08-08-2005, 12:43

I couldn't help myself....... I laughed out loud when I read that article. It beggars belief, will cost a fortune and nobody wants it. Pretty much the sort of scheme that is the hallmark of this government.

Bemused Scottish/Polish - British...

HAZEL BLEARS is an incompetent idiot who would be better served by working in ASDA or somewhere of the like. She is however consistent I will give her that. She’s messed up everywhere she been…..

I'm a White British Celt.........Born in Chuch and Proud.

Margaret Pilkington · 08-08-2005, 14:12

I don't even think Hazel Blears is equipped with enough brains to work at ASDA.
What a load of looney tosh this is........talk about pussy-footing around.
British means BRITISH......full stop!

yerself · 08-08-2005, 14:17

What's all this British nonsense? Didn't there used to be country called England and a race called the English?

sean777 · 08-08-2005, 16:17

English, British, asian at the end of it all terrorists are terrorists and we should stamp on them hard and stop pussy footing around with all the red tape nonsence. Their are too many so called politicians in this country who have stole a living out of stupid nonsence like this.

WillowTheWhisp · 08-08-2005, 16:36

America was cited as an example with African Americans and Irish Americans etc. It didn't stop terrorists destroying the WTC did it?
