While I don't approve of people who encourage kids to flagellate themselves with knives in the name of any religion, or indeed people who push any religion at kids, I think that the government pushing multi-culti divide and conquer perks at Muslims on one hand and demonising dusky beardies on the other is enough to make anyone mad.
Right, so what do we make of the story then?
Three men questioned over an alleged threat to assassinate Gorgon Brown have been charged with terror offences
Terror offences? What are they, then?
possession of an article in circumstances which give rise to a reasonable suspicion that possession is for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism
and
collecting or making a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism
I promise, I am not making this up.
Is that a slightly vague and nebulous pair of charges, or fucking what? I mean, for the love of Christ, printing out a map of London that includes tourist attractions could be considered "making a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism", couldn't it? A copy of the V for Vendetta comic could be then subsequently be considered "possession of an article in circumstances which give rise to a reasonable suspicion that possession is for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism".
It is understood no actual plot was in place but officers discovered a written threat on an extremist jihadi website
No plot, huh? The threat in question?
"target all the political leaders especially Tony Blair and Gordan Brown [sic]" and "all embassies, crusaders centers and their Interests through out the country."
Target them? With a paintball gun? Flour? Balloons full of rotten egg? Nuclear devices? What?
Fucking hell, what does that make me, anyway? I've said a thousand times I'd like to see T. Bliar and the Gorgon swinging from lamp-posts, a fate they richly deserve. Does that make me a fucking terrorist now?
I cannot help but feel that the running (police) dogs of the socialist morons in charge of us are putting this on for show. I mean, with charges as vague as that, they've got to be pretty fucking desperate.
And isn't it wonderful that the map in your car or a list of tourist attractions is theoretically sufficient to get you done on terror charges?
God help us all. (And I say that as an atheist.)

Wish I could remember where I saw that stop-and-search video. In it, the police mentioned that they were looking for things likely to be of use to a terrorist. Maps, photographs, that sort of thing.
I think there's been a typo in their orders. They are cracking down hard on tourists.
Now I am seriously worried.
Only this morning I bought a Samsung S1065 camera AND a local A-Z street map.
I suppose that terrorism must be in my genes and that a lengthy stay at Gauntanomo a racing certainty.
Please Mr Policeman hurry up and arrest Obnoxio, I have cut n pasted all his death threats to date and will turn Queens to save my sorry ass.
ps. I honestly thought it was a Librarians party I was joining.
I think you're right: this Government is importing scapegoats.
