The perfect way to scare the living sh&t out of the new cabinet, particularly the testosterone-fuelled new Home Secretary, and put terror at the top of the agenda. Certain other testosterone-fuelled persons want a 90 day detention, ID Cards, DNA samples of everyone, increased stop-and-search powers and even torture (hence Blair's opt-out of the new EU treaty). This incident is guaranteed to make these suggestions look attractive solutions.
It sounds like a car laden with basic fuel and nails was either parked or clumsily crashed near Piccadilly Circus early this morning. The intention may well have been to explode a bomb in a busy area of nighttime London.
But once again, as with 7/7, the "attackers" are unknown and there was zero intelligence on the "attack", allegedly.
If you wanted a police state and you wanted to influence a testosterone-fuelled Home Secretary on her first full day, really scare the shit out of her, besides detonating a dirty bomb, this attack, if it had succeeded, may have caused a lot of horrible deaths and injuries.
I love it when they foil those terror plots
