Local Bombers
July 13, 2005
Cripes. I wake up this morning to find out that the sick fucks who blew up the Tube and a bus last Thursday were from Leeds (and possibly Dewsbury) - within pissing distance of home. Then I get to work only to find it evacuated due to a bomb scare (now over - some maintenance contractor had left a suitcase unattended in a lift shaft).
This comes the day after I read a times article suggesting that Al-Qaeda are recruiting from British universities. I work for a university with a very large proportion of the student body drawn from the local Asian community, many of whom are Muslim and I find this absolutely amazing. Most of our students seem to be mostly interested in snogging each other at the bottom of the library building stairwell and sneaking in a crafty fag behind the air conditioning unit. Al-Q'd have little luck here!
One thing's for sure though: if the bombers were British citizens, there's no way a national ID card wuld have made the slightest bit of difference. Spending the money on police and intelligent operations, however, might have.

I'd say being on a BSc in Advanced Semtex Studies is a bit of a giveaway.

not attacking iraq and intefering in the politics of the middle east for the last couple of hundred years might have helped too.....
