    You'd have thought the police commander would have asked the Westminster traffic wardens to report any suspicious abandoned cars!

    only the stuff that is unusual, the thing about the Met is........., they are actually very very good at closing this sort of stuff down and very good at doing it quickly, years of practice chasing errant angry Irishmen with fertilizer bags around London from 1982 to 1993 has made them very sharp.... a good thing in my opnion.

    looks all very amateur and spontaenous to be honest, very very unlikely to be the paddies (they tended to go for the banking centre @ weekends with 10 tonne trucks packed with phosphate and anti-tamper stuff - yay!! a week off work again ) , likely it's a bunch of local religious/anti-gay/copeland nutters who decided to visit a hardware store mid week after dropping a few E's and reading a religious pop-up story book called [insert piece of crap religious rubbish here]

    otherwise I'd suspect Boris Johnson .....

    Been to a couple of pubs tonight and all of them had a full colour A4 sheet starting “In light of the recent bombings” giving some good advice on security. Obviously they we pre produced in anticipation of something happened, but they didn’t look like they had been in storage for very long, if at all.

    Sadly, the nuLieBore government has a long history of lies and trickery. There have been many arrests on terrorist charges and everyone released without charge a few days later. We have also suffered from idiotic constraints on travel such as the carry-on luggage fiasco; just when has there been a toothpaste bomb? Because of this, people will continue to question the validity of the claims of terrorist plots and incidents.

    It is not wild conspiracy theories that lead people to doubt the validity of this ‘terrorist’ incident. It is cynicism caused by a long history of lies.

    Well there could be a number of reasons for this scotspine...
    1. To cover up:

    a. The Blair police questioning cover up

    b. The latest revelations about the Lockerbie bombing

    c. To give police an excuse to get even stronger stop and search powers

    d. To give Brown a chance to bring in even more draconian laws

    e. To frighten Londoners a bit more

    f. To incite hatred against Muslims...

    OR.. all of the above.

    UK Indymedia was down for much of the day. Coincidence?

    I'm glad that Craig Murray is suspicious - certainly none of the British media will be.

    What i find so amazing is (if you see the pictures of the inside of the car) why would he drive through London were every single road is busy with traffic and Buses were people can see inside passing cars. And have gas bottles and all other tulip showing clear as day for anyone who wished to glance his way as he sits at lights, or is passed by buses full of passengers on their way to work?

    In truth if the so called bomber(s) were real they would have used a van small or medium, a works van of some sorts, were everything is hidden from view and has a guaranteed of success. But no we get a top of the range expensive Mercedes car with a clear open view for all to see the gas bottles boxes of nails and other tulip, even for the passing blind man.

    How more obvious can this be that it is all for the purpose of giving the new Brown Government breathing space?

    And the news is full of sentences like horror/massive damage/massive death/huge casualties.

    It is like those behind this saying these British are dumb for falling for our tulip time and time again.

    Like the day Bliar sent tanks to the airport.

    ..and the konspiracy king strikes again. good grief lambo, your naivety marches on to unheard of heights. the answers to your questions lie in the questions and are clear to anyone with half a neuron which might claim to be at least partially active. how many of your ilk [wilful or otherwise] stalk this poor, beleaguered country of ours, spouting such puerile nonsense?
    btw, you're so smart, how come you're not in #10?

    there! said it! better now...

    "I think it was John Reid"

    No it couldn't be him as there would not have been enough time for the period of consultation to end. Could have been Beckett though. We all know that she likes a good caravan holiday, so she'll need the gas for cooking. The full tank of petrol to get away from London to somewhere nice. Of all the pictures of the car, the back is not clearly visible, so I suspect that it may have a tow bar on it. Why the poor driving? I have 2 possible reasons

    1 - She'd been to the pub for some dutch courage. Not to do something bad, but as a precaution, incase she happened to get a quick look at her ugly face in the mirror.

    2 - She is a woman (just)
