Terrorist Attack on Glasgow Airport
Posted on Monday, July 2, 2007Sorry?
Did I hear that wrong?
Maybe it was because I heard it on Sky News, which is a whole heap of shit, though marginally better than Fox News, but still, they surely wouldn’t make this up, would they?
Well? Would they?
Two of the people detained in connection with the attack on the airport are doctors.
All I’m thinking is What???
Now look, I’m probably the very first to accuse the cops of incompetence, laziness and a tendency to frame the first available suspect, but actually in this case I think they were probably right on the button.
For a start, when you pull a guy out of a burning jeep that’s just been slammed into the door of an airport and - even though he’s on fire - he still jumps up and tries to fight you, well fuck it. The chances are he’s not one of the good guys.
You make an executive decision. This guy who’s on fire next to this burning jeep probably had something to do with it. Especially as he’s trying to kick my face in, even though he’s still burning.
You certainly have good grounds to be suspicious, wouldn’t you think?
No. It’s ok. You’re right: it is fairly dodgy.
So, what’s going on with the medics? What the hell does this mean when two doctors try to kill and maim any innocent passer-by they can manage to burn? If, of course, they had anything to do with it and aren’t just being stitched up by the cops, which is eminently possible, but let’s presume that the British cops aren’t as incompetent and corrupt as our guys. I don’t know. I don’t know anything, all right? All I’m doing is asking, what the hell is going on in our world, and by the way, who let two homicidal lunatics into any medical faculty, if in fact they turn out to be guilty?
And who paid for their education?
And why?

What the fuck? What happened to “…and never do harm to anyone”? Did they keep their fingers crossed, so that they were actually swearing the Hypocritic Oath?

Ah yes, gross hippocracy!
For one horrid moment I thought said Docs’ surname was going to be McCann. It being Glasgae an’ all. Phew!

Hang on, I don’t think the burning guy was a doctor, was he? I thought the two doctors were picked up by the cops in a car on the M6 or 26 or 36 or somewhere.
But mainly, can I just say “innocent until proven guilty” cos Sky News hardly ever bother to mention this. In general, you know, not just in this case. They convict everyone as soon as they’re questioned.
Apart from the McCanns, that is.

‘Innocent until proven guilty’ on Sky? Where the salacious tabloid reporting fun in that?

Fat Sparrow: Yeah. But, as Nora points out, it IS Sky News after all. And that’s why I’d be a bit circumspect about it.
Conan: No. I haven’t sunk that low yet, though I keep trying.
Nora: You’re probably right there. The burning guy wasn’t a doctor, which is a pity because it would make a great source of tasteless jokes. And you’re also right to point out that they’ve only been arrested. They’re lucky the cops didn’t arrest them by putting seven bullets in their head like they did with deMenezes.
Fatmammycat: The other side of my point, and equally valid. Exactly.

There’s nothing quite like mulling over a juicy conspiracy theory.

On fire and still fighting as opposed to trying to stop his flesh from melting off?
That’s hardcore.

Let us consider some of excellent soundbites John Smeaton gave us. Much better than the politicians:
“What message do you have for the bombers?” -
John replied………. “This is unacceptable, this is Glasgow …. if they want tae come tae glasgow, then we’ll just set about them”
John also did an interview on CNN and they asked how he restrained the guy and he said ….
“Me and other folk were just tryin tae get the boot in and some other guy banjoed him” !
Beautiful.

Istvanski: Indeed. Isn’t it great?
Medbh: Hardcore? Certainly. Stupid, definitely. I don’t want such stupid doctors treating me for anything. Nuts, perhaps.
Lord Milky: Precisely. Who goes tae Glasgae no expectin tae find trouble?
Fuckin fire-bomb? See you, Jimmy!

Does anyone else wonder - why Glasgow? Any chance it might have something to do with Gordon Brown being born there??

They’ve just arrested another doc in Brisbane! It’s a group called Docs r Us, apparently. Or Docs for Death, or something equally insane.
