#1 I thought that someone may have pulled the brake. No, that was just wheels of the train screeching, when it was gaining on speed towards the wreck.

Boundless sea of idiocy.

#2 The Brits overdrew the karma account in the 20th Century with Churchill and Mrs. Thatcher. Boneheads like Brown, Heath, Callaghan and Wilson are the payback.

#4 Interesting that as France and Germany turn right, Britain drifts left. As this article makes clear, the Anglo-American relationship is not likely to warm for some time. And the Tories have left themselves little room to attack the anti-American, anti-war policies of Labour as they have opposed (Bush and) Blair's War for quite some time, apparently seeing it as their responsibility as the opposition. Yet I doubt these policies represent the will of the British people any more than the Amnesty deal reflected the will of the American. So in the next general election will it be left to the BNP or the UKIP to pick up the load in the war on ~~Islamism~~ terror?

#7 All employees of the United Kingdom's National Health Service...

The eight people held Tuesday in the failed car bombing plot include one doctor from Iraq and two from India. There is a physician from Lebanon and a Jordanian doctor and his medical assistant wife. Another doctor and a medical student are thought to be from the Middle East.

All employees of the United Kingdom's National Health Service, some worked together as colleagues at hospitals in England and Scotland, and experts and officials say the evidence points to the plot being hatched after they met in Britain, rather than overseas.

#11 Ohfergawdsake. Brown failed the first test

#12 He more than failed the test - he's bombed the entire course and is flunking out of his major.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Or more likely -- scared sh*tless now that he's seen the intel info and realizes how incredibly vulnerable the UK is, thanks to its own policies and attitudes for the last 20 years. It's of a piece with saying that individuals who are mugged should restrict themselves to curling in a ball on the ground and hoping they don't get kicked in the head.

#13 This is very worrying because there are rumours that Brown is a little bit flaky and hides/endlessly procrastinates from difficult decisions.

#14 YJMTSU I think is appropriate term for this.

"the phrase war on terror is to be dropped"

Cool, so it's gonna be "war on fundamental islam" like it's supposed to be?

JK, does this guy like brew his own Kool Aid?

Just think, Churchill was only 62 yrs ago. If old Winston ran a cell block this guy wouldn't even make a good b*tch. I'm sorry my Brit brethren, no offense meant to you fellas. Heck, with our luck the idiots in my country will elect Billary or that nancy John Edwards, then we can have no balls in either of our offices.

#16 In #12, I should have written thanks at least in good part to its own policies and attitudes. British policies didn't create the jihadis, although it often seems as if they are designed to facilitate it.

#17 If Brown is not careful, the phrase "Great Britain" will be dropped from useage except in an historical sense and it will be used only in the past tense. The phrase "Great Britain" will be replaced by something else--probably something muslim. There I said muslim.
Brown you dipwad.

#20 In order to accomplish Mr Brown's intent we will all need special BOSE headphones to play soothing music that drowns out the queer Asian folk whenever they yell "Infidel," "Inshallah" and "Jihad," at us. Until we get these earphones I intend to put a finger in each ear and repeatedly say in a tolerant monotone "I'm not listening. I'm not listening," whenever a mass transit vehical I am riding on is hijacked.

There that should do it. The war is over. We now have peace.

#21 How about "War on Global Sharia"?

I don't see how any non-muslim (in their right mind) could defend sharia.

#24 Tonight's show comes live from the tiny village of Rabid in Buckinghamshire, and our first question tonight is from a Mrs Elizabeth Scrint who says she is going on a Mediterranean cruise next week and can't find anything wrong with the Syrians. Well, Mrs Scrint, apart from being totally unprincipled left-wing troublemakers, the Syrians are also born skivers, they're dirty, smelly and untrustworthy, and, of course, they're friends of the awful gippos. (applause) There you are, Mrs Scrint, I hope that answers some of your problems - have a nice trip. (more applause) Well now, the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a derogatory term for the Muslims. Well, the response was enormous and we took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever entries. Mrs Hatred of Leicester Said 'let's not call them anything, let's just ignore them' ... (applause starts vigorously, but he holds his hands up for silence) ... and a Mr St John of Huntingdon said he couldn't think of anything more derogatory than Muslims. (cheers and applause; a girl in showgirl costume comes on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Moose Limbs (placard 'The Moose Limbs'), sent in by Mrs Vicious of Hastings... very nice; number two..... the Slammers (placard) ... from Mrs Childmolester of Worthing; but the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in Lancashire... Miserable Fat Islamic Bastards. (placard; roar of applause) Very good - thank you, Carol. (Carol exits) But as you know on this programme we're not just prejudiced against race or colour, we're also prejudiced against - yes, you've guessed, stinking Islamic clerics! (applause) So before the streets start emptying in Chelsea tonight, Let's go straight over to our popular prejudiced panel game and invite you once again to - Shoot The Imam!

#26 I recall that during the Carter admin his economic adviser said to not call inflation, inflation, but to call it a banana instead.

So do me all start calling muslims bananas now?

Kind of fits actually.

#27 Remember if your bus driver yells Allah Akbar and steers into oncoming traffic, turn up your IPOD. Gordo says there is no Jihad.
