All I will say is that I think the PM's "Big Society" idea, with volunteers replacing trained professionals in every conceivable discipline, has gone too far if the armed response unit of the police force take so long to reach a murder scene (where the murderers are still loitering, waving machetes about and waiting to be caught) that a local scout leader has to step in to challenge the perpetrators. I shall shut up about it now though.

They were probably told they had to wait for a health & safety risk assessment before going in.

What also gets me is every time this happens, it's a "Muslim" issue. Um, nope - no more than it's "Christian" every time the Orange Order have their jollies in July & it all ends in a riot, petrol bombs, people getting stabbed & the rest of the stuff that gets blacked out of the newspapers up here & in Northern Ireland.

When was the last Sufi terrorist outrage? Or the Quaranists? Or the Druze (who form the famous Herev Battalion of the Israeli Defence Force!). Or the Almadi? Not only that, they get twice as much terrorism done against them by Muslim "radicals" but no one says a word about it - & it's always the same branch behind it.

Maybe, just maybe, if successive Western governments didn't keep turning a blind eye to mouth-foaming bigots being allowed to come over preaching hate just because they're terrified of offending Saudi Arabia (but are happy however to stamp on just about every other Muslim countries' toes), these incidents wouldn't occur. Or do we all have to wait for them to run out of oil (& thus relevence) first?

Or maybe our governments like it that way because if we're all too busy worrying about barking medieval minded terrorists, we aren't paying attention to our leaders passing more tax breaks for themselves & their mates in Parliament, etc.

Ugh! Too cynical for a beautiful Friday night!

*Shakes head sadly at failure of fiendish schemes*

We need Ollie to construct bouncing omelettes capable of going down a hill without rolling in order to thwart health & safety nannies; & blow up any German dams in case Merkel decides to go for "third time lucky"!

Perhaps hover-sharks could be unmothballed & armed with nob-darts?
