I think the NSA at Menwith have got more important things on their minds at the moment...

Like next weeks attack on the X£ $"%^^&^% in :@} S}@~...

I once went there by mistake thinking it was a trendy new bar. Couldn't understand a word they said.

Any mention of bombs chemicals and nukes ( even if its just to do with TV dinners ;-)) could result in a midnight knock on the door.

As long as they don't forget the pizza.

BBC News had a report earlier about how cuts in the 'intelligence' services could increase the chances of terror attacks. I think it's more likely to increase the chances of MI5 instigating their own attack to get their budgets put back up.

Guys don't forget they are watching everything these days. remember the whistleblower who leaked out that the sppoks were all set to pay a visit to some wifey in Surbiton who had, on teh phone, told how her son had "bombed" at Chemistry??

GCHQ and those big balls up in yorkshire (NOT the cricket team) are probably trawling thru all the posts in here for subversive chat.

Ah yes Pondlife but in my view planning to kill politicians, in fact actually succeeding in killing politicians, should be exempt from these terror laws.

Interesting point though, why don't we get rid of all detail in all laws and just have some very general guidance on when people can be tried? All cases then just go before a panel of 20 normal citizens chosen at random, with no expensive lawyers or judges and no precedents, and they decide. We would get far more sensible verdicts.

I am betting that before a jury of sane citizens my advocacy of stabbing Blair/Brown etc. would be deemed entirely reasonable and I would probably be recommended for a knighthood.

Sounds very sharia.......

It'll be the "lyrical terrorist" from Heathrow WH Smith's next. She got convicted just for being a morbidly curious nutter.

And somehow this cannot be construed as Promoting or Glorifying Terrorism?

Yes, and you probably would not even be compelled to donate to the NL Party beforehand neither!!

Of course it is! I'm interested in explosives, improvised and otherwise. It doesn't mean I want to blow someone up! It just means I can...

We may also be conducting research into how to identify and disarm explosives, incase we're confronted with a bomb at 30,000 feet, that may not even be real. The bomb disposal unit are usually a bit late on the scene in those situations.

[Churchill]

Terrorist manuals (which is what these flipers were looking at - i.e. how to make a bomb like that used is 7/11) isn't innocent research.

I suppose the net step is to force ISP's to block these sites and ban anyone attempting to look at them. OMG isn't that what they do in China? No wonder GB doesn't complain about their human rights record.

No, he's inspired by it.

Sounds like a Plan B!

Download some dodgy bomb-making material.
Laugh and joke about it on the internet, saying how you're going to blow up brownstuff. Hmmm, wonder where on the internet.
Await a knock on the door from some trainee MI5 numpty.
Go for a bit of a stay in a nice hotel, where Porridge is the programme and dish of the day.
Get freed by the courts.
Get a few million in compo.
Repeat if necessary.

The benefit scroungers have missed a trick there. Maybe I should leaflet drop the council estates. Where there's tulip there's money.

You learn enough in chemistry lessons in school to maim plenty of people. Hell all you need is a big lump of sodium....
