London Bombs #2

Today's shooting in Stockwell is really cause for concern. I get the logic behind the 'why the police shoot someone' obviously if the guy had a bomb under his puffa jacket then he conceivably could have set it off, so killing him is the only guarranteed way to stop it. All that to one side. A group of Police officers chasing some kid into a tube train and then killing him in front of passengers is desperate. It is a desperate action.

The extremists, nationalist groups posting anti-islam vitriol on websites and planning mas mosque attacks. The far right BNP cashing in on the whole shebang.

A couple more shoot to kills and disenfranchised communities will become less supportive of police attempts to 'secure' the safety of the public.

Something awful is bubbling under in Britain. There won't be war on British soil, but to many people, it will feel like it.
