BS: UK Climate of Terror

We can be rest easy, the terror police won't let any music of mass destruction loose on the British public. Don't play the wrong music in the UK.


Of course, the fact that he was brownish made him an automatic suspect.

The fact his accuser was a Taxi driver kind of figures as well.

Another way of saying his skin was a bit dark, I would hazard a guess.

I believe that is the problem with government policy,they always target the wrong people and allow the criminals to walk free.sometimes I wonder if they are not the criminals themselves.

in Ghana,decent people struggle to travel to the U.K whiles the crooks who will steal cars and sell narcotic drugs get the chance to go to the U.K. very easily.

sometimes it is difficult to know who exactly to blame.

When will it end?

Professional politicians are who to blame. If we have carrier politicians, there will always be an instinct to do things for the benefit of their carrier, and not the country.

At the moment, the Prime Ministers Ego is a bigger threat to the country than anything else. What will he try to be remebered for something else than Iraq?

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the reign of that truncheon thing

CHORUS
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is burning and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out - and draw another breath
London calling - and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London Calling

Poor bastard. Good job he wasn't playing 'Rock The Casbah'.
They'd throw away the key.

Good Grief! LOL! Well it would be funny if it was a joke. Puts me in mind of a field trip that my youngest daughter went on when she was in elementary school.

She wanted to take one of her compilation tapes to play on the trip and her favourite music at the time was The Clash and the Pogues. Before she went, I made her promise not give the school bus driver her tape to play on bus's sound system, which he regularly did for the kids and also not to let any other kids listen to her tape on their walkmans.

I explained that I wasn't so much concerned about Rudie Can't Fail or London Calling, but I figured the neighbourhood tight asses would definetiely not be able to handle their kids listening to The Old Main Drag from the Pogues Rum, Sodomy and the Lash and that discretion was sometimes the better part of valour. Never received a complaint on that one from the local morality brigade, so I assumed she complied. LOL

How 'bout Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun?" When you're in a foul mood, it's a good "everybody in the world sucks so I hope you all drop dead" song.

Nothing inflammatory enough to cause liability, though. It doesn't suggest methods, just kinda sits there simmering in its own angst.

(Which a lot of us are doing that under this administration. :P Especially now that it's tax season.)

Slán,
