"He'd have ended up stood there with a very disappointed look on his face, if the previous attempts were anything to go by?"
Now I'm really lost. Did I imagine that a London bus full of people was destroyed by a suicide bomber recently?

konaman - what state is this country in that you're not happy about, in then context of the current bombings/attempted bombings?
I know this is a very late response to your question, but it's the simplest response. No nastiness, no criticism of the question, just a simple response.

Fair play.
I can be as big a pain in the arse as anybody (bigger maybe) and I apologise. There's something in the tone of your posts that suggests we'd never get on, but it's the differences that make us stronger. Onward!

You're bot right, of course. Unsuitably flippant response, too much monkey dust, I reckon.
I'd be more inclined to be more sympathetic to the police's position if they had actually been anywhere near stopping anyone who WAS planning something.

Human Rights Abuses
(One thing that really frsutratees me is the language of human rights being used to defend thing that are just plain wrong, corporations claiming human rights beign a case in point)
This is my house
I own it
it's mine
and I'll do with it what I like
because that's my human right
I'll leave it empty and unused
and I'll do what I please
because that's my human right you know,
that's my human right
It's my human right and its worth fighting for.
I've a right to own a car,
no tax on fuel it's just no just
I've a right to cheap oil, free parking, and speed
so get the hell outta the way of my SUV
and I'll fly around the world on £1.60 return
because that's my human right you know,
that's my human right
It's my human right and its worth fighting for.
I don't want no asylum centre built round here
It's my back yard they're living in
my back yard they'll steal from
my job they'll take, my house price they'll deflate,
and my road they'll want their mosque in.
because I have human rights too you know,
I have human rights too
I have human rights and they're worth fighting for.
And what about Nike?
Telling lies about its corporate crimes and then claiming the right to freedom of speech!
Well who cares if we gave a false impression
we have the right to freedom of expression!
Because corporations have human rights too you know
they've been granted them by law.
Corporations have human rights too, though they weren't human before.
Corporations have human rights too,
and they have the money to fight for them.
It's just a matter of time before corporations get the right to vote,
to claim asylum, to found a family to ...life!
I wonder, when will corporations gain the right to life?
Where's an end to this corporate personhood insanity,
because if corporations have human rights,
then how do we define humanity.
Because they're our human rights you know,
for us living breathing and human
not for Nike Shell or CNN
They're our human rights
and we'll fight for them.

PMM, I get what is being said, I really do, but isn't it really 'property rights' to which you are referring, legally?

I'm referring to someone elses poem.
radicalgirlie herself seems concerned by the equal footing over human rights granted to institutions.
I know it's probably a different issue to what's discussed above, but I liked the poem, and wished to disemminate it :o)
