Carry on Terrorists

[A Dashing Blade]

Don't mean to be flippant but could the terrorist attacks of been any more comical?

Particuarly like the bit where the guys are traced through mobile phone calls . . . you'd have thought they's have the sense to go "Pay As You Go"

doh!

If the Iraqi resistance attacked US/UK army bases then I'd be sympathetic for one.

If you really think it's a good idea, can't you get your mates in Permo Rev to join you and provide "military support" to "the Iraqi resistance"?

Even if we did, I don't think we could do a worst job than those training camps.......unless we're thwarted by the UK bases cunningly putting yellow lines around the base.

Considering our size I think there are probably better priorities.

But seriously if a resistance to an occupation strikes back against military bases would you have a problem with that?

Like booking the phone box for the AGM perhaps?

He was cool.

You can buy him a pint if you want on the website dedicated to him

Not everything desirable is possible.

Back in the 70s and 80s, whenever the threat from the IRA et al went up, the first response was to put no waiting cones around potential targets ... (I know, I put them out and took them back in enough times from round the TA centre and nick in Hammersmith ... )

 

[Haller]

They only have to get lucky once

To do what?

 

[Wilf]

It could be the plot of a Carry On episode.

Babs Windsor playing the 72 Virgins

 

[TAE]

They only have to get lucky once

They did get luck once, on 7/7, and it achieved nothing. For their campaign to be successful, they'd have to do a lot more psychological damage than the Germany Luftwaffe did in WWII.

 

[Leeloks]

'infidel' scottish tourists are no more responsible for the iraq war than 'all muslims' are responsible for these idiots

i'd like to think most folk are not as stupid as the type of idiot who carried out these attacks and won't fall for the same crude use of moronic stereotypes and labels to legitimise further idiocy

Totally agree. Seems like my comment may be right if the news is to be believed. Car outside Glasgow mosque, car is crashed into Asian owned shop and is on fire....

You are right about the cowardly arson attack against a newsagent's the other night.

The car outside the mosque, however, is a different matter. It was nothing to do with attacking a mosque. If we are thinking of the same car, it interested the police because it was thought to have been abandoned by one of the Islamonut doc-bombers.

Yes, of course I'd "have a problem with that", as you put it. I don't like Islamist bombing campaigns anywhere.

What's your size got to do with it? I'm sure Perma Rev and Workers Powder and other gung ho Trots could put together a little bomber platoon if you wanted. You could even form a 'military united front' with Brigadier Attica's special forces.

I see only two possibilities: either you don't really believe what you say or you believe it but lack the courage of your convictions.

Yep, that is the one i heard about JHE. As i said, its all tit for tat. Thats why i hate conflict cause violence breeds violence and never ends.
Whats more, i think, sadly there is more to come.

 

[Squatticus]

I think it would be great if I mastered Bach's Goldberg Variations on the pianoforte, or became a chess grandmaster; I would certainly 'approve' of it if it happened to happen. But I don't think its likely, and I'm certainly not going to put any effort into for that reason alone.

As I said before, not everything desirable is possible.

 

[JHE]

I don't see anything desirable about you and CockneyR taking 'military' action - but if you do, don't kid yourself that it's impossible.

(Learning to bomb or shoot and getting the tools to do so is, obviously, a lot easier and quicker than becoming excellent at chess or at playing the piano.)

Admit it: either you don't think it's desirable or you lack the courage.

 

[slaar]

Looks like it's gone international anyway:

Top cleric at besieged Karachi mosque caught trying to escape in a burqa. More soon.

 

[Paul_N17]

Don't mean to be flippant but could the terrorist attacks of been any more comical? One person leaves the car bomb on a yellow line, another leaves fumes/smoke coming out and the others manage to set themselves on fire while doing little more than damaging a door.

It could be the plot of a Carry On episode.

Or a sketch from 'Monkey Dust'?:

The similarities are uncanny.

 

[Belushi]

I'd happily contribute to a fund to pay for Squatticus and CR to go out and join the Iraqi resistance.

 

[cockneyrebel]

Thanks Belushi. As shucks it's nice to know people care

No I think there are better priorities and it would be an absolute joke, as I'm sure you realise. Within one bomb going off or one armed attack the whole of PR and anyone else involved would be banged up. Hardly the same as a mass national resistance. I think there are better things to be getting on with. A lot of the left supported the armed resistance in Vietnam, don't remember many armed brigades being formed though. If we had a situation like the Spanish Civil War it might be a bit different.....

Yes, of course I'd "have a problem with that", as you put it. I don't like Islamist bombing campaigns anywhere.

As it goes who mentioned anything to do with Islamists. Not all the armed resistance in Iraq is by Islamists, some of it is by nationalists, others by anti-occupation forces etc

So what I'm saying is if anti-occupation forces from Iraq attacked a British military base (either here or in Iraq), would you have a problem with that?

 

[cockneyrebel]

Also as squatticus has served in northern Ireland I think I know whose courage is the greater out of you and his but never mind......

Fuck me, I'd completely forgotten Tamworth Jihad or whatever they were called...

Is there a hint of smug racism in this that somehow 'the Pakis' just aren't up to it? Any jokes worth dredging up about the thick Paddies in the IRA?

 

[zoltan]

The Tipton Taliban

MI5 axually have a serious presence still in Tipton & Environs

( I hope thats not giving too much iof the game away )

Very good Mr Wilson. I chuckled.......

I see you can't resist your trait of following my posts and commenting on what I say......

How many fake aliases do you have now? You've done the Revo boards, here, turboisland etc don't you think it's all a bit over the top and obsessional?

 

[mk12]

he just makes me laugh

He looks a fun chap.

He's been banned by FM.

Why ex-posters can't just ask to rejoin the boards rather than sneaking in is quite beyond me.
