From today's Sunday Times: Plod wants to make it illegal to buy
decommissioned ambulances, on the grounds that they could be used by
suicide bombers.

Spooks not plod
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article4232333.ece
though they are talking about ex-plod vehicles[1]

Anyway, only the unsuccessful ones could use an ambulance.
The successful ones would need a hearse, or even just a roadsweeper...

Not at all surprised me.

>FFS.

Not really, it is the fault of the silent majority for being so f.cking
tolerant and the time is long overdue for a change in policy on this
one. If we put *all* these f.cking religious loonies in the nut house
where they rightfully belong there would be none of this sh.t.  Until
and unless to express religious leanings becomes an instant tenancy
agreement and treatment in the neatest mental hospital we will have to
live with this bollox.

You are completely missing the point.
The entire terrorist scare thing is just a bullshit job creation scheme
for politicians and police.

It is time to get a grip on reality(tm).
How many people have been killed in terrorist related incidents in the
last 10 years ?. Compare this with :-
1) The number shot by police.
2) The number killed by police drivers.
3) The number killed by NHS incompetance.
4) The number killed in assorted railway and aviation accidents.
5) The number killed on the roads every DAY.

Around 700,000 people die of *something* every year.
GET A F*CKING GRIP - the risk is not significant.
Just stop the big publicity and they will not have any reason to try it.

When it comes to point missing he is in very good company.  How else are
we to keep a population that includes 10 million sun readers and another
similarly sized group who are too thick to even aspire to that giddy
height under control without treating them as an unthinking easily
manipulated mob?  It is in Gummint and how to do it #101 innit, you
always need to have A Clear and Present Danger so you have an excuse for
doing whatever it takes to keep your hand on the tiller.  If it weren't
the case why doesn't a single solitary gummint in the whole of mankind's
history ever get the credit for not having one?

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders
of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple
matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no
voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the
country to greater danger."
