#3 I dearly hope a few of the former members of the Finsbury Park mosque were strapped to those "controlled explosions".

Hey! That's how the moderates can show their moderation -- volunteer the extremists for bomb disposal duty!

#5 How's this for a campaign slogan: "Muslims Out Now!" I think we're going to see the BNP use that one next election and it's likely to be damned effective.

#6 BBC now reporting 4 controlled explosions, but no bombs. Looks like an elaborate hoax - packages deliberately left. Or a trial run?

#7 Likely as not just a false alarm stemming from the heightened caution following the London bombings.

#9 That is why one reason it's called terrorism, not every act need be real one, just the fear it creates in the public will do, picking the UK is a bad plan for that, it hasn't worked in the past, won't now.

#10 that's why every beating of a "jihadi-spouting" Imam need not lead to actual peace. It's the fear that it creates that justifies it...heh heh
