Hopefully the latter but seems unlikely to me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41278545 There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed flesh. It sounds like a chemical reaction. We can but hope it's not "the religion of piece" proselytizing. If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam. It does appear to be terrorism. Yes. And they've now made an arrest, in Dover. Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos, they're going to get caught? I dunno why youse guys in the UK aren't (constantly?) up in arms over the seemingly massive surveillance you appear to live under. If anything, people seem to want more of it, as they feel safer with it. This latest Parsons Green case seems to be an example where it paid off. That may well also happen with the homicidal bridge jogger. And please don't launch the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear" defence at me. Why not? It's exactly what most people think. To an outsider, watching your exports of TV programming involving fictional crime (e.g. the rather ancient series 'Scott and Bailey') suggests that a mind-boggling Big Brother watch-it has been around for more than a few years. Yes, it's been around for many years. But instead of the early grainy, very low res, fuzzy, extended play VHS images on worn-out tapes, it's now HD quality, sharp, clear, digital images. Perhaps some are now 4k video quality? How many would sir like ? https://www.cctvcameraworld.com/4k-ip-cameras.html They can now also be centrally monitored and stored for much longer. And, in some cases, the images are automatically computer-scanned for car number plates (ANPR) and known faces. Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world follows. |
