Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Police expect Mumbai-style terror attack on City of London [More]
Why am I thinking about what succubus Veronica said to Stan and Kyle after she told them she was going to marry Chef...?

  1. And they were talking about how far away the SAS were in Regents Park Barracks.........WTF? How hard would it be to get a few squads off their well fed asses and have them stroll around probable targets incognito? Of course, they expect the populace/sheeple to only use harsh language when they are butchered in broad daylight. No civilization that disarms it's people has a right to continued existance.

  2. Isn't the whole of the UK pretty much a free fire zone?

    The way things go these days in Sarah's paradise; the only people who will be able to fight back during the 1st 30-45 minutes will be street gangsters, and any of them who survive will no doubt be prosecuted for shooting their armed attackers.

    It appears from stories in the Brit press that the UK has a zero tolerance policy for those who have the temerity to attempt to protect themselves.

  3. Seems to me... if they really knew enough to anticipate such threats,
    they'd have enough to eliminate that threat - or make a good start.

    Unfortunately, such publicized "threats" have preceded all of the major
    attacks, with ample evidence that any real intelligence or leads were
    carefully ignored, distorted or flubbed.

    I see a distinct pattern here.

    Whether it is complicity with those doing the attacks, mere incompetence
    and game playing, or some combination - who knows?

    If I lived there, I'd be making plans to leave or, at the least, serious
    provisions for increased personal and property security (becoming well
    ARMED) very much independent of any government resource.

    Oh wait...
    that's "illegal" in the UK... Bummer for them. sigh

    I must agree with Sean, they have forfeited their right to continued existence.

    Interpretation of events in the UK lead one to conclude that the only reason for any resistance authorized by the government would be nothing but a fight between carrion eaters for the spoils. Be the carrion eaters the ones in the UK's own government or those who are trying to force them off the dead carcass of the civilization they have murdered.

  5. An inexact parallel, from a
    1947 book. (This really belong
    in the "History Lesson" post of
    some days ago but that's off the
    front page now.)


    The frontiers of the Roman Empire on the Rhine and the Danube
    were defended in the fourth century by fortified posts and
    well-trained soldiers. There, as from Hadrian's wall in
    northern England, Rome looked out upon the barbarians from
    behind her watch towers and garrisons. But within the
    frontier there was no system of local defence. The governing
    dea seemed to be, as Cassiodorus wrote in the sixth century
    that the "quiet of civilized life could be sheltered behind
    the defence of armed forces." Behind the "Maginot line" there
    was nothing! And when the line was broken in the early fifth
    century there was no "home guard" to meet the invaders. From
    this point of view, the chief problem of the early Middle Ages
    was the organization of the home guard.

    The reason why there was no "home guard" is even more important
    than the fact that there was none. The Imperial Authorities
    feared that armed forces organized locally would not support a
    system of centralization which drained the Provinces for the
    support of an Oriental Court and exhausted agricultural
    districts to supply the great cities. Even in the days of
    Constantine the Great, it was said, the Imperial Authorities
    preferred to use the barbarians for the support of their power
    rather than to run the risk of arming their own subjects.


    Cecil Delisle Burns The First Europe (London 1947), Chapter XI"Lords of the Land" pages 459-460I learned of this book from two sources nearly simultaneously,
    the dustjacket of Henri Pirenne's Mohammed and Charlemagne, and Jo A. McNamara's translator's preface to Pierre Riche's Daily
    Life in the World of Charlemagne
    . The Pirenne book has been mentioned fairly recently in several sites on the Internet,
    and I learned of it from them.


    C. Delisle Burns mentions in passing his acquaintance with the
    coastal defences of Britain in the 1940s in his Preface (he says no more than what I've just quoted.)

    all the best, cycjec
