Seems a bit difficult to understand what is happening in Britain. First there were the deadly suicide bombings on London Underground on what is known as 7/7 in which more than fifty people died. After that we have had a succession of failed attempts, more Pink Panther type than Al Qaeda. 7/7 was followed by train bombs which were duds, then toothpaste and soft drink bombs on airplanes, then cars loaded with fertilisers which merely smelled by did nothing else and now car bombs which were damp squibs. Car bombs have been spectacularly successful in the past in the World Trade Center, in Oklahoma, in Bali and daily in Iraq over the last few years but in London they just sat for the police to find them. How did the police know that those cars had bombs in them because, from what I understand from CNN, there was no phoned warning. I might have forgotten other failed attempts. Then two jokers set themselves on fire and failed to drive through glass doors at Glasgow Airport. Police blew up a car in the car park of the hospital where one of the jokers is being treated for burns. After every failure security goes up to critical, a group called Cobra huddle together and police and politicians give out statements on how deadly the terrorists are. If the terrorists are that deadly how come they keep failing. I can think of only two reasons, 1. they may be using rubbish made in China or 2. the British education system is turning out a bunch of blithering idiots.
