Charlie Clarke's Just Fancy That! #529
Monday, February 28, 2005

I'm probably trumping Tim Ireland here, whose bullshit detector is most likely over in the red right now, but isn't it strange that the Metropolitan Police are launching their latest anti-terror campaign just as South African Minister for Justice British Home Secretary, Charles Clarke tries to ram through the final stages of the anti-terrorism bill?

And don't forget that if the Safety Elephant doesn't get his way, voting at the forthcoming election will be like trying to vote in downtown Baghdad.

For those of you not gripped by fear, there's also this nice eye-catching announcement about maternity leave as well.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

UPDATE: The Times - Hundreds of potential terrorists in Britain, Blair warns
Tony Blair warned today that there are "several hundred" individuals in Britain who are planning terrorist attacks.

So there you go. We need the anti-terrorist legislation because the terrorists are already here and "will" cause chaos on an "unlimited" scale (with their Death Star, presumably).

But hang on, if Tony knows they're already here and that they're plotting to destroy our way of life (or what'll be left of it after the anti-terrorism bill passes), why do we need the legislation at all? If Tony's so sure of his facts, why can't he just send the Old Bill round, arrest them all and then prosecute them?

But look a bit closer. "Several hundred"? That's a bit vague, isn't it? Sounds like quite a lot doesn't it? Conjures up images of rank after rank of masked jihadis, doesn't it?

Surely he must have better information than that - couldn't he tell us exactly how many are here to destroy our way of life? I mean, he keeps telling us his intelligence is supposed be shit hot. Never been good at the specifics though has he, Tony? Particularly when he's trying to get his own way.

But aren't you feeling slightly uneasy? Those swarthy gentlemen with beards on the bus this morning, they were talking in a language you didn't understand. Could they be up to something? Do they want to kill you and your family? Won't someone do something?

(Brits 45 Minutes From Doom.)

Tony, you better round them up quick in case they get a chance to destroy our much treasured freedoms before you, Charlie and your careerist backbenchers do.

Warning: If you hear swarthy gentlemen on the street whispering "[inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] America! [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] America!", please be aware that they *may* just be rehearsing for their local production of West Side Story....
