    I genuinely thought that this was a harmless ink bomb until I looked into it. I don’t think this headline had the desired effect.

  2. Phil

    “Ink bomb” is a rather unfortunate term. It sounds a bit like some schoolboy prank.

  3. Stevie H

    Yes, but it fits the space allocated to the headline, which is MUCH more important!

    I don’t know what is more vomit-inducing. The thought of another Lockerbie, as the Muslim terrorists intended, or, had they succeeded, the comments that would have cropped up on this website. The usual stuff that follows every atrocity by Muslim atrocity, about how Islam is in fact a religion of peace and it’s Islamophobic to suggest otherwise. No doubt most of the ‘regulars’ on this site would think it Islamophobic to point out that Mohammed never hesitated to use violence to achieve his goals. Islam has been violent since its very beginnings. Muslim terrorists are being true to their religion.

    Adult in used to be a child shock.

    neander: please do direct us to the version of the site you’re reading, because i’ve never read anything of the sort on this site.
    (although i strongly suspect said version of the site is actually located in your mind, which it’s probably a tad tricky to find a url for)

    Neander,

    The prevailing view of many posters on this site is that the unnecessary stirring up of conflict and hatred – from whatever quarter – is to be deplored. If you can direct me to a site called “A few twunts with some unlaminated A4 handbills and a deluded sense of their own self-righeousness watch” I’ll be happy to lay into them.

    In the meantime, I’ll concentrate on the matter at hand. Godawful journalism.

    ‘Ink bomb’ = false flag terrorism. Just when Yemen needed to demonstrate fealty to Washington, along comes this rather ham-fisted failed terrorism ‘attack’. Not only does this boost Yemen (recently hearing ominous noises from Clinton), it helps the British and American governments (they get to toot the terror apocalypse horn again), and it helps Saudi Arabia, too…the tip-off came from a ‘Saudi militant’ who had been recently released from Guantanamo Bay! Wow, what a lucky break! I’m sure there was no quid pro quo involved.

    So you see, everyone’s a winner, baby!

    Well 17 minutes is an improvement on most movies I see, Bond usually only defuses the bond with seconds to spare. I see our techniques are improving, probably due to Labour spending in this area.

    I don’t think I’ve ever expressed any opinion about Islam. Why would I? I know very little about it.
    I’m more concerned about the way tabloid newspapers never hesitate to rain hatred down upon any group they’ve chosen to dislike, excluding any inconvenient facts that detract from the angle they’re taking.

  11. Mohammed aka Jack

    A lot of fuss over a schoolboy prank.
    An ink bomb???

    There was a story in the Mail website which I don’t usually read about two dogs with bombs implanted in them, the dogs died before they could be loaded on the plane arousing suspicion. I don’t know if the story is true, if it’s in the Mail it s probably not, I hope not. Still, it’s probably been put there to create more hatred.

  13. Andy McDandy

    Hmm, someone’s got The Day Today and Dark Knight DVDs…

    The most disturbing aspect is that the security services never mentioned which IED was set to explode – just that one was close to its detonation time. I don’t beleieve any other paper specified it

    This rag just took it upon itself to lie about the location to carry on its program of fear mongering

  15. Phil

    OMG, not another royal wedding. I’m already bracing myself for months of minute, detailed and exhaustive analysis.

  16. George

    Not a lot of time for any of the Premier League religions myself. I think they’re all a bit overpaid.

    And yes, on that note we now have young Willy Wales’s God awful timing with his wedding. Just what we need in the middle of a recession.

    Good luck to him though- so long as his lot have the decency to fund the do themselves. After shelling out for the banks, a Papal visit, the Guantanamo inmates and probably a hell of a lot behind the scenes at the No F*cking Swearing party, it would be a bit rich for them to expect us to cover it.

    I’ve just read about a council spending taxpayers’ money on a Nativity scene. How much longer are secularists going to have to put up with THEIR money being squandered on pleasing a few Christians? Political correctness gorn mad!

  18. hel

    i haven’t looked but i expect the mail rushed out a special souvenir issue when the wedding was announced, with loads of those adverts for commemorative plates/mugs/keyrings… i wish william and kate well as much as anyone but i’d laugh if they called it off just to piss off all those who are cashing in on it!

  19. Andy McDandy

    Not necessarily, Hel. Tat produced for the planned (but cancelled) coronation of Edward VIII goes for a fortune on the antiques market…

  20. Phil

    The latest from our ‘favourite’ tabloid: Wi-Fi kills trees!

    Does Woolies know something we don’t?

    Daily Mail Reporter 17 November 2006

    “Woolworths is so sure that Prince William will marry his girlfriend Kate Middleton that it is hard at work producing gifts to mark the big day.”

    Pity their crystal ball didn’t show them going broke!

  22. Claire

    Isn’t most of the souvenir tat made in China anyways?
