So it turns out that the suicide bombers were Brits all along. This wasn’t a surprise to me. Neither was it a surprise that they were, in fact, suicide bombers. There was no way that they could have timed the bombs to go off with such precision without a human element. Trains get delayed, discarded rucksacks get reported, timers fail to go off – so a human trigger was needed. It’s the same with the bus bomber. It is obviously he was meant to go on a train, but he either couldn’t get on a train in time due to delays or he bottled it. If he bottled it, then it might be so that the bomb wasn’t meant to go off on the bus and he was travelling to another train station to wreak havoc?
Anyway, it reminded me of a fantastic animated satire show called Monkey Dust produced by the BBC. The series featured two sports-loving British asian youths from Birmingham, under the guidance of the ruthless Omar, who wanted to bring a holy jihad on the local population. It reminded me so much of what happened in London. Of course, in the cartoon they always failed because they were inept and they always wanted to catch the match on Saturday. You can always tell a good satire when it becomes painful to watch. Monkey Dust will now probably be banned on the basis of those characters.
Not much else has been happening here. I’m suffering from severe stomach cramps again, so I think I must have eaten something I shouldn’t have. This is strange because I’ve been careful with my food and in the past month have managed to lose over half a stone without even being on a diet. But the stomach cramps are painful, but not as painful as they have been or was earlier in the year. I can still walk and function, so there.
Apart from that, things are really nice and quiet. 😉
