British burning books?
Paul Hinds | 22.07.2005 08:50 | Analysis | London
I got stopped to day by a policeman for reading a book called Incendiary on the was into Stockwell tube. Am I a terror suspect?
Lets hope the British dont get around to burning books, it would look awful in the international press. I heard a roumour that they are planning to make certain books illegal, post 7/7, particularly one describing making bomb. It seems in the normal way the law is going to get implemented before it appear in the House of Commons, so hide you copies of "The Anarchist Cookbook". Perhaps putting up some shelves in the basement would be a good idea, since if it is left to the discretion of the British Bobby us "Readers" have got something to worry about.
P.S. Incendiary is not a book about making bombs, its about the aftermath of a terrorist attack in London.

How come after the Madrid bombings Al Q. expressed that the response was perfect and Spain need fear no more attacks from them. In London we get "Seconds Out, Round Two!". Has Blair been taking diplomacy lessons from Bush? I bet Blair wishes he came up with "Cheese eating surrender monkeys" now, because his wise words have not exactly been laughed at.
Sorry, but i'm not one of the 33% in Britan that thinks the bombs in London have nothing to do with the war in Iraq.
Terrorism? war on terror? how could they possibly be related, guv.
Say what you like about 7/7 but I say a second round soon after the first has to be related to the government response. Capturing and killing is not a good solution, we need a policy that stops people wanting to kill londoners. Perhaps, if WE stopped killing people in Muslim countries they would not want to kill us, just a hunch, but surely worth a try.
