These are the facts reported:
- de Menezes may not have jumped over a ticket barrier to escape his police pursuers, the guy jumping over the barrier was one of the killer-cops
- Relatives living in London insist he was not wearing a bulky winter coat but a denim jacket (so they were told by the police)
- police are *now* operating under orders not to challenge suicide bombers or identify themselves before firing a critical headshot, so most probably de Menezes was NOT aware that he was being pursued by police. Ian killer-copper Blair claims his officers had challenged de Menezes, which would have been against the *then* British police guidelines for dealing with suicide bombers. According to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) they state officers should “not attempt to approach, challenge and/or negotiate” with suspected bombers as this could be “likely to trigger denotation”.
- the use of a Taser stun gun by West Midlands police on Wednesday during the arrest of Yasin Hassan Omar begs the question, could de Menezes have been brought down alive?
Conclusion: the real terrorists are not the ones following imagined orders of Osama bin Laden (who does not issue orders anyway), but the guys under the command of Ian killer-copper Blair.

On BBC NEWS police admits to ‘target ethnic men’.
Hazel Blears says: ‘decent people’ will accept the move. So if we don’t accept the move we are in fact indecent people. Happy to be indecent if the likes of Ian killer-copper Blair and Hazel Apologetic Blears are decent.
These are the faces of the new ruling race:

According to BBC NEWS Killer-Copper Ian Blair said: “Despite everything that’s been said here, there is only one way to stop someone who is a suicide bomber which is to kill that person. Everything else allows the shot to go home but the bomb to go off. A Taser sends electric currents into the body of somebody, if there is a bomb on that body, then the bomb is going to go off. It may have been that they [officers in Birmingham] were clear there wasn’t a bomb. I don’t know what the situation was.”
This is “Sir” Ian stopping short of saying: “I would have shot him in the head, seven times; since revenge is mine, mine, mine; and I want to see blood, blood, blood… kill’em, kill’em, kill!”
In earlier days we used to say, only a dead copper is a good copper. These days this particular copper’s very mission seems to be: “Only a dead ethnic is a good ethnic”.

The only advice I can give at this time is: Avoid this country if possible. Or you risk to receive police bullets into your head. Don’t be coloured, don’t wear a back-pack, don’t wear a bulky jacket. Because that’s what terrorists do. And these days every terrorist is a suicide-attacker. That’s why the police shoot you in the head. They will find, afterwards, that you’re perfectly innocent. Another chance for them to be “desperately sorry”. Once again: Keep out of here if you can. Legal murder comes as plainclothes police rambos these days in the UK.
By the way, can anybody tell me: which other country prides itself of ordinary policemen not carrying firearms and at the same time having the worst rate of shooting innocent people?
Yahoo and indymedia report that even the driver of the tube train where the shooting took place was almost gunned down by the Met.
UK ministers reject Iraq terror link: “Senior cabinet minister reject claims that Britain’s support of the invasion of Iraq put the UK more at risk from terrorist attack.” (Via BBC News.)
They most probably also deny all the other conclusions from the latest Chatham report on terrorism and the UK:
- the UK government’s position as ‘pillion passenger’ to the United States’ war on terror
- Islamic terrorist activity was not given appropriate priority until the late 1990s
- the UK is at particular risk because it is the closest ally of the US, deploying troops in the campaigns against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam in Iraq
That leaves us to wonder whether said UK “senior” ministers are senior enough to embrace the report’s recommendations to “move away from the rigid forensic approach to professional post-terror attack responses”, i.e. to place more emphasis “on
building and using community resources in responding to terrorism, rather than
focusing on technical and professional approaches that leave communities excluded” and not to allow that “terrorism and the shadow of fear it casts can be used all too easily to obscure repressive government measures”, particularly during elections.

According to BBC News, the Lord Chancellor when talking about the new terror laws said that people ‘attacking the values of the West’ would be imprisoned for ‘long periods’.
Would be interesting to know, what the Lord Chancellor and this whole British government mean by “values of the West”. On an almost daily basis we recognise manifestations of these “values of the West”, such as privatisation of the commons, protection of globalised corporatism, a democracy of the white male upper-class where minorities are denied their democratic rights, and the not so subtle brainwash of consumerism to name only a few (and not to forget Britain’s “right” for a rebate on EU contributions and the millions of taxpayers’ money spent for the royals).
If that’s the “values of the West” I’d rather be somewhere else … soon!

New laws will make it hard for urpight British Citizens to get their Terror Training Certificates: “Providing or receiving terrorist training could be outlawed under planned new anti-terror laws.”
“But Ms Blears said the new offence would only cover those given training in the future rather than being used retrospectively.”
So it is hight time to get your terror training now, because in the future you could only be trained on how to handle an acute terrorist threat (like how to dispose of bomb making material in the most booom manner), but not how to do terror.

400 complain at Live 8 swearing: “The BBC receives about 400 complaints about swearing after outbursts by artists performing at Live 8.”

And the BBC use the other most abused and meaningless word in English language: “We are sorry”.
Four Scottish Socialist MSPs have been banned from parliament for the month of September. The reason: They marched to the front of the chamber with posters: “Defend Democracy”. They demanded the the right to protest at Gleneagles.
All the Scottish Parliament’s Presiding Officer could do was suspending the sitting and suspending the group.
This is what the people in power call “Democracy” in Scotland — and throughout the UK.
In fact it is making the Scottish Parliament even more UN-democratic than it was in the first place — a bunch of capitalist, imperialist, nationalist particular-interest-mongers, without a sense of humor, without a feeling for the silent and oppressed minorities in this country — and in fact the majority who will protest against this sort of Holyrod wannabe grown-ups and their G8 establishment.
