Following on from yesterday’s rant, more evidence via Matt that the stupid really will inherit the Earth.
This is getting ridiculous. He works as an airline pilot, he checks in to his company’s parnter airline, gets on the plane, falls asleep in business class. Then he gets woken up and told to leave the plane. Now, of course, he may be being paranoid, but when he gets off the plane, the police are there to question him.
As I said yesterday, Chris pointed out the day before, and as Matt says today; terror is winning. That is because we are suffering government of the stupid, by the stupid for the stupid, with everything reduced to the lowest common denominator and headline grabbing sound-bite. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see this and, doubtless, is tearing their hair out in frustration. Just as well I’ve got plenty. :dry:
Did you see the two chaps on Newsnight last night who were supposed to have been acting suspiciously and so were asked to leave the aeroplane they were on and come back on a later flight? Now I don’t know if what they were doing warranted the reaction they got but I do know that the story will be milked for all its worth, with accusations of Islamophobia and yes that old bugbear of ours Mark, racism. Are all Muslims of Asian descent then?
