Come on, one two three, let's all be afraid NOW!
As someone who lived through all the period of the IRA terrorist
campaign in England, Yokel is having a bit of a problem taking the
current tourist terrorist threat as seriously as his
would be masters wish him to. Yokel agrees that there are some very
unpleasant people out there, people who are the special favourites of
the current ruling clique. But they haven't yet managed to mount an
effective campaign.
But that hasn't stopped our would be masters from using the fear that we should be having in order to try to remove fairly basic freedoms. The war on photographers is but one example.
And now, here comes the war on private planes. (Notice this take on the report turned up first at the Ministry of Propaganda?) Yokel wonders why private planes are being picked out for special treatment. And then some light dawns. These private planes don't land at Heathrow where passengers are herded like sheep through the fongerprinting and photography and see-through-your-clothes scanners. They take off and land elsewhere. DANGER! The would be masters are not in total command. QUICK, MAKE IT ILLEGAL!
Well that is Yokel's guess at present. Anyone want to bet a pint on it?
