hackey lad   3,976 #14 Posted December 6, 2017 The terrorists are claiming they were working for a shadowy group who they only knew by their codenames - Shagger, Two Brains, The Quiet Man, Vulcan and Smoggy.  Glad you find terrorist acts funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sgtkate   10 #15 Posted December 7, 2017 Glad you find terrorist acts funny  Well to be honest some of the 'attempts' are funny in that they are so terribly planned and executed you have to laugh. Trying to ram raid an airport but getting stuck on the HUGE concrete blocks outside. Trying to blow up a bus but messing up the explosive so it just leaked chappati dough all over the bus. Trying to kill the PM by blowing up the doors of 10 Downing Street before stabbing her - having first found a way to get past the armed police at either end of the road, then past the armed police at her door, then be allowed to place an explosive device and having done all that they want to stab her???  All these plots do is remind me that we really have nothing to fear from terrorists. They spend months or even years learning how to cause maximum damage and then can't even make a basic bomb. Absolutely laughable.  The very few that do succeed are of course not funny in anyway, but they are no more unfunny than someone dying in a car accident.

Michael_W Â Â 11 #16 Posted December 7, 2017 The thing about terrorism is it not's in anyway funny, ironically if we were discussing someone's insulting behaviour that society now considers to be 'hate crime', people being jokey about it would probably get criticised pretty damn quickly, yet as I see it, blowing kids up at a pop concert is infinitely more hateful than your average hate crime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Agent Orange   11 #18 Posted December 7, 2017 Funny how a plot to kill the elite can be foiled yet the plebs are left to be slaughtered.  Stacks of plots targeting "plebs" have been uncovered over the years, you just don't hear about them all the time.

That 4Lions film had it right. Most of them are reduced to either hiring a van or pinching their mum's kitchen knife, and if that's not laughable then I don't know what is.  Add to that their beliefs in a magical sky pixie (God) who gets illiterate Bronze Age thugs (Mohammad / Moses / Smith) to write down the instructions for the 21st Century, and you have a recipe for a record breaking run at the O2 with Michael Mcintyre as the warm up man.  Treat them with the derision they deserve.

spilldig   188 #20 Posted December 7, 2017 Stacks of plots targeting "plebs" have been uncovered over the years, you just don't hear about them all the time.  Have they been uncovered though. I mean, every time I hear that X number of plots have been foiled in the last X number of days, or X number of weeks, is it just the security services justifying there job. I don't know ? I mean if it was me in charge I could say, we have foiled 6 plots in the last 4 weeks, haven't we done well, but I have never seen evidence of the foiled plots.

spilldig   188 #22 Posted December 8, 2017 I think that might be something the Intelligence Services Commissioner does.  The thing is though that I don't hear of anyone being prosecuted for about 90% of these plots they say they have foiled, so if they are telling the truth, are these people just being let off ?

ANGELFIRE1 Â Â 10 #23 Posted December 8, 2017 This sums it up nicely, the security services need to be lucky all the time, the scum only need to be lucky once. I don't know who first said it, but by gum it's very true. Â I think on the whole our secret service, who ever they are do a decent job of keeping us safe. Â The only downside when these terrorists are caught is the leniency of their sentence, if hanging were to be brought back for Police murderers, then it ought to be the same for convicted terrorists, of any religion, creed or colour.
