who is responsible for the London attacks?

editor said:
Fascinating.

Who the fuck is this James Chater, by the way?

I'm not sure, I'm trying to find out. You may be right for all I know, I let you know if I get a response.

You didn't really think it was shitty did you?

Do you have a source for that statistic, or did you make it up ?

"Even now, CCTV is the ever-present eye in shopping centres, railway stations and airports and it is most definitely watching you.

According to statistics, the average citizen is caught on CCTV cameras 300 times a day.

There are 25 million CCTV cameras in operation worldwide, with 2.5 million in the UK. "

I thought it was fourth form stuff actually, but I'd be obliged if you kept any further discussion of the 'poet' in the appropriate forum.

Maybe that CCTV exists, I haven't said it doesn't. However we should not only have that, we should have clear CCTV of each bomber individually on their fateful journey.
Do you know what the police do or do not have? Why should they release all their evidence? Can you give me some examples of the police broadcasting CCTV footage of crimes, other than snippets or stills when they are appealing for witnesses or identification etc?

I have asked you this so many times and you *always* ignore the question.

We know that they have a CCTV image of 4 blokes at Portla... I mean Luton. That's a known fact because we have all seen it on the telly. Everything else is purely a narrative construct doing the work of the evidence none of us have seen, but which nonetheless seems to be enough to convince some people with particularly low evidential thresholds that it was 4 black blokes from Yorkshire wot done it.


Why should they release all their evidence?

Why to be rational of course. You can't go around accusing people of the most heinous crimes with out presenting any concrete evidence. Why should we believe a story concocted by a vicious state engaged in an illegal policy of international banditry? Every police state that has ever existed, ever since the emergence of the nation state in the 15th century, has been ushered in on the basis of lies deceit and violence. Why should the one Blair and his corporate cronies are hoping to shackle us with now be any different?

Ever watched any of the 500 episodes of Crime Watch appealing for witnesses etc',, or are you always out that night?

The evidence will be presented duing the inquest.

Any chance of you shutting the fuck up with your wild speculation, tediously predictable knee-jerk conspiralooning and 4th form poetry until people have had a chance to examine the actual evidence presented correctly at the appropriate time?

So where is the "concrete evidence" that MI6/CIA/Mossad/Lizards did it?

I specifically said "other than snippets or stills when they are appealing for witnesses or identification".

What purpose would it serve showing any more CCTV footage that may exist if the police are already happy that they have established the identities of the bombers?

Can you or Dr Jazzz show us a single example wher the police have disclosed evidence, including CCTV footage, just for the hell of it (ie not as part of an appeal for witnesses or to establish the identity of people pictured on footage)? Can you show us a case where the police publish their evidence before any trial or inquest?

The UK is not a police state.
 
The UK is mostly still a pretty good place. Hysterical nonsense apart, I'm continually being impressed with the resilience of our communities, all things considered. Of course there are idiots, but they are evidently in the minority.

Things could really be a lot worse. Look at the Irish Troubles or the Balkans.

Recognising a tendency that way in our current government is one thing, getting us mixed up with actual, electrodes to the genitals, police states is another. That tendency needs to be checked, but I just don't see how talking obvious bullshit about the current situation really helps to check it.

How many more over-crowded prisons, fitting up of innocent people, fatal "mistakes", deployments of riot police at peaceful demonstrations, and massive databases does it take?

There are degrees of everything, and i'd say that the UK certainly satisfies the definition of a police state so far as some british folk are concerned.

And we now have quite a few laws that are a throwback to the south africa of the 60s and 70s.

It may not be one now, when we think of nasty torturing, but the longer we kid ourselves we're not going that way, then the more likely we will have regressed alarmingly from a democracy to a police state.

Maybe we already have.

I did not say that the UK "IS" a police state, I said that Blair and his corporate cronies would like to shackle us to one if they can. Obviously, the British people might raise some objections. In any event the measures announced by Blair on August 5 under the pretext of combating terrorism show clearly enough how this government views democratic rights to be incompatible with its policy of international banditry abroad and its pro-business agenda at home.

Blair has announced a raft of measures that are openly directed against immigrants and Muslims. The trouble is these measures also set the stage for attacks on the right to free speech and for the criminalisation of all forms of political dissent.

Britain is not a police state... yet, but it has moved decisively closer to becoming one, with the bombings on July 7 providing the pretext.

I'd rather read the Indendent that the rent-a-fruitloop shite you usually peddle here to be honest.

But instead of endlessly whining here, why don't you get off your lazy, moaning arse and write something yourself?

You seem to think you can see through all the media lies and know better.

Prove it.
 
If it's a question of evidence, where are we to look in cases like this? I tend to rely on academic sources and the outcomes of court cases wherever possible, because there is at least some process in place with rules of evidence. So I think I'm going to wait until the court cases are finished.
 
What I'm not going to do thank you very much, is eagerly jump to the least likely conclusion because it's somehow more existentially fulfilling to do that.

I'd say that the most sensible course of action would be to actually wait and see what evidence is being presented first before hatching wild, fanciful yarns involving massive, murderous conspiracies and the complicit involvement of hundreds, if not thousands of people.

Sadly, conspiraloons rarely trouble their overactive imaginatations with such trifles as evidence, proof, credible sources, expert analysis etc etc.

Sadlly reactionary editors strangle all free thought because they worry about their readership as they lust over future positions in NOTW columns. :p Hehe!
 
I hope you are right. But it is so much easier to reduce the class conflict into a race conflict. Our leaders know that.

The key is to to keep everyone distracted in the pursuit of useless gadgets and objects which are elevated as essential objects while others serve burgers, double glazing and so on, but in the third world people fight for the basic; we fight for the means to acquire the latest mobiles,while third world fights for water, for the right to live.

What the fuck are you on about?
Please make some sense of your gibberish.
 
I wonder why both the buses that got bombed were heading for Hackney Wick. What's so special about Hackney Wick. ?

what does NOTW mean?

Apart from that I guess it's pretty obvious what Raisin's saying, Chomsky's always talking about control of the media by reactionary editors.

And maybe it is mainly about readership, I mean when people want to read something as some kind of guide to what the world is like, Ok, they want to be pissed off and outraged some time, but they basically like to have their prejudices pandered to, and mainly people prefer to believe that their society kind of makes sense. Even if reality is kind of boring, that's preferable to it being mad and completely haywire for most people.

I can't really read this thread. It's too long. Would anyone like to tell me how the police worked out the people they arrested were the bombers.?

so prove it's bullshit....
 
Rad nance, seeing as you're around, I added this question into my post, and kind of reckon it'll get lost. I was just wondering how the police worked out who to arrest, I didn't really follow the story, and the thread's a bit long.

Do you know? Does anyone here?

"So prove it's bullshit.." Lol. How on earth is he going to do that?
