Walls and Bridges

This is significant news. British. Born here, Raised here, Schooled here, and then, warped here. How can you hate that much? How can you spray murder so randomly? So indiscriminately? How can you sit next to your intended prey trying to guess who would survive?

Furthermore, Why can you hate that much? Why can you spray murder so randomly? So indiscriminately? Why can you sit next to your intended prey trying to guess who would survive?

Why, why, why? You were born here FFS! What medievil twat filled you with that much hatred? Was it moral outrage? Bare female arms at the height of summer? Rowdy young men quaffing ale outside the pubs of England? Was it the very notion of democracy that offended you? A deep yearning for the proud civilsations of the Tigris, Euphrates, Ganges and the rest to return to some kind of perverted ascendancy? What was it? What made you think that setting that timer, triggering the carnage with a mobile phone or whatever; what made you think it was THE RIGHT THING TO DO?

'Cos, for the life of me I don't get it. I really don't.

You know, there are many, many things we all have to endure in this veil of tears. Twats with bombs for example, we've been doing it in the UK for quite a few years now you know. Perhaps you never noticed back in the 70s, 80s and 90s because you were too busy watching Blue Peter, Swapshop and Bagpuss? But then of course puberty probably kicked in and all those confused messages that the rest of the world's youth has to deal coursed through your brain and you took solace in an old bloke with a beard who spoke of constant absolutes, infidels and, crucially, nirvana.

Them there "legitimate" virgins waiting for "true martyrs" must sound pretty impressive when you're reduced to beating your genitalia with sledgehammers in order to dispel impure thoughts and - horror of horrors - impure deeds.

I mean, although I've never read his book, I can only imagine Allah must be pretty straightforward about such things.

Have a wank and go to hell. Plant a bomb on a crowded bus and "enjoy" your virgins for eternity.

It's a funny old world.

**The picture is of Phillip Russell, 29. Phillip died in Tavistock Square on the back of a London bus.


I acquired an external USB 2.0 Hard Disk from Amazon today. A great bargain at £99 for 250 Gbs (yes 250Gbs). So now my iPod, photographs and God knows what else are backed up and iTunes is able to play direct from the new disk as well.

The first PC I used at work way back when was an IBM PS2/50 (I think). It had 1Mb of RAM (massive), and.....wait for it.....an incredibly huge 10Mb hard disk.

"You'll never fill that" said some knowledgable IT type.

Brainwashing in British Maddrasses perhaps?

"Still, is it such a huge leap to now see why someone else might?"

Yes it is. Nothing justifies murder, nothing. Certainly not a few choice words and a little pisstaking. As you may be aware if you have perused this blog, I think all religions are run by medievil twats, some of them harmless, some not. But all twats who feel the need to ram their philosophies down the throats of us rational non-believers.

I note from your profile you are interested in "religion". I would go elsewhere if I were you, there's nothing for you here.

"Nothing justifies murder, nothing."

I'm not so sure. I can think of a few scenarios when I might contemplate murder.

But nothing justifies the indiscriminate, random murder we saw last week.

Oddly, I found the fact that they were suicide bombers reassuring. At least those four bastards won't be able to do that again.

Murder is murder, indescriminate or otherwise, there can be NO mitigation. How many lives would not have been lost if organised religion was outlawed ?

I find the fact that they were suicide bombers very worrying, because you can't punish them, there is no deterent.

I am also worried that those evil fuckers in the bnp will have a field day with this, praying on people's fears and generally stirring up enough unrest to fuel a lot of retaliatory crimes.

I'm with everyone here. Steve, as ever is eloquence itself and his outrage is fully justifiable; but bugger me, we don't live in a vaccum, or even a vacuum and we knew this was coming. Bin Laden siad it was coming our security forces said it was coming, and it came.
It didn't come on a whim, it came because we ourselves have done serious damage in Iraq and Afgahnistan. Metatron alludes to us kiiling thousands (I think) and it's a very good point. Imagine if yoiur country was invded, and people were geeting killed and maimed and harrased day after day and for the life of you, you know not why. Imagine being repressed and oppressed and beaten and buulied by an alien presence day after day, imagine being young and disefranchised and angry and suscepitble. Like the prevoius guy said, I couldn't do, you couldn't do, but I can imagine how someone could.
It's absolutey none of my business, but I like the cut of metatrons jib.

More importantly, if Wright Phillips is worth 20 million, Pennant is the bargain of the century!

I do understand Metaron's point however, he seems to be more upset about my use of FFS, twat and references to masturbation than the point I was trying to make.

More importantly City are now in talks with Fulham re: the signing of Andy Cole and I'm off toi burn my season ticket.

I understand that the whole "virgin" thing may be a bit of a mistranslation from the original Arabic. There are scholars out there who claim the word is actually "cake". I'm not making this up, either.

[The comment deleted above was me. Sorry.]

May all the innocent victims of 7/7 rest in peace and may their loved ones emerge from their grief with a greater zest for life - that would be the best tribute of all to those who have been so cruelly and so needlessly lost. Those cowardly bastards who did it, didn't even have the courtesy to leave any kind of explanation. What was it all about? Why did they not only assassinate Phillip Russell but also Shahara Islam - beautiful and Muslim - if there was a God he couldn't possibly condone such wickedness.
