    Now there’s no need to be condescending young man 😮

    I still ocasionally fill in and do some work for the people I use to work with/for.
    For those who don’t know I used to be a Trade Union Official ( Teamsters for our US cousins ).
    Today I was ‘manning the office’ for a while and I spent a good hour on the phone talking to someone in a neighbouring Branch (Local [US]) who lost somebody last Thursday.
    Two hours later following a welfare enquiry call from elsewhere (and after a couple of calls to ‘the Met hotline’) I put two and two together and I had to phone the same person back and tell them that another member of their Branch was listed as ‘missing’, and by all accounts probably still buried in the wreakage at Kings Cross.

    Sorry, I got the bit about Kings Cross wrong.
    Giles Hart died on the bus.

    Pilothgt makes a valid point regarding human rights legislation which I think may need to be looked at.

    I watched the Monday lunchtime ‘Politics Show’ on BBC2. Several Moslem politicians and leaders were interviewed, all condemned Thursdays events but……

    I was interested to find out that the mastermind behind the Paris Metro bombings in 1995 (who is a Morrocan) lives in North London as a free man.
    This despite the fact that he has been convicted ‘in absentia’ in his homeland, yet the UK will not extradite him to Morroco because,
    1) we have no existing extradition treaty with Morroco and
    2) he ‘might face a death penatly’.

    The leader of the miltary group that killed Anwar Sadat, who was the prime mover and on the verge of great transfomation in the Middle East (at least between Israel and Eygpt) also lives in the UK.
    Also convicted he affords the same luxury.

    I forget the guys name but the hook handed one eyed fellow who held radical meetings in the street once he was oused from the local Mosque, and was subsiquently arrested following evidence that possibly linked him to 9/11. Although not at liberty he sits safely in Bellmarsh prison because the UK will not extradite him to the US because he ‘might’ be subject to a death sentence ‘if’ convicted.

    Apparently their human rights might be violated. 😮

    The presenter listed nearly a dozen similar people/situations, all now resident and ‘safe’ in the UK. Where is the common sense ?
    If you commit such deeds or incite others to do so then you should forfiet any rights you may have been entitiled to as a ‘human’.

    Sorry you are off for a while, you have my number and I’m only just down the road.
    By the way that Jumbo sunset photo was taken from the top of the fire escape on the telephone exchange in West Stockwell Street.
    I’ll drink the pint you didn’t win tonight 😀

    Take care young fella.
