Thoughts of England

This is your Captain speaking...

Anyone else notice that the Irish called off their violent revolution as soon as the Brits started shooting bombing suspects at random?

Despite the long-standing struggle to contain the IRA and their bombs, this battle with these radical Muslims is a whole different matter. The Irish had different targets, usually phoned in a warning, and did not target random citizens. Current bombers are targeting the anyone who happens to be in London, with no political target other than the English people.

I have no direct knowledge of this, but the way the English law enforcement is reacting, I bet they have intelligence that the bombers are on a schedule, with 4 bombs a week every Thursday. That would explain everything we see in the added security on Thursdays. Not the time or place to be if you're young, male, swarthy and happen to want to wear a backpack and a jacket.

English traditions may have to be curtailed in a small way. The Hyde Park corner where people have long stood up and advocated the violent overthrow of the English crown may have to be silenced now that some idiots actually think the idiots who say that are serious.

Another corner of Hyde Park is where they used to construct their gallows. Maybe they need to shift these people North a few hundred yards and see how well they speak with their neck stretched a bit.

England has now made overstaying your student visa a capital offense. I wonder if we would have the illegal immigrant problem we have if we applied the same remedy?
