Defiance of the most defiant kind
According to the BBC, Londoners have returned to work in their droves as an act of defiance to the terrorists intent on terrorising.
“Hello, Mrs.Miggins, we`re the bailiffs and we`ve come to repossess your house.”
“But Mr.Bailiff! I couldn`t afford to keep up payments on my mortgage.”
“We know! That`s why we`re here. Hand over the keys!”
“But it wasn`t my fault! I couldn`t go to work because I was afeared of the terrorists and the tube lines were always suspended. My gas, water, and electricity have been cut off already as I couldn`t pay the bills.”
“Oh dear Mrs.Miggins. You should have defied the terrorists. Now hand the keys over.”
Ahh media-proclaimed patriotism. Brilliant.
Given the choice, what would you do? Cup of tea in bed would be the preferred choice for most. Including the muppets who pilot the Piccadilly Line trains, who defied the terrorists yesterday in their own way by skiving off work and leaving Londoners to make their way home. Funny how they always do this on the sunny days…
Update: and now the police have started assassinating innocent people on the streets. Another act of defiance no doubt. Yesterday this chap was linked to attempted bombings, and today he isn`t. Keep up the good work, Teh Met.
Update 2: as ever, the super duper Manic makes several good points.
Update 3: muppets the lot of them. The same people who go on strike when a colleague gets a rollocking for driving through not 1 or 2, but 4 red warning signs. Expect a lot more safety related strikes next year for the World Cup.
And Cherie Blair. Why don`t you shut the fuck up. Today she`s complaining about civil liberties, but it wasn`t so long ago she was having her shoes surgically removed from her mouth for getting into a spot of bother. Nobody elected you, love. Hardly anyone elected your husband. So get back to your legal work of defending anyone who`ll get your name in the papers, you daft ugly bint.
