BREAKING NEWS: BIRMINGHAM (ENGLAND) CITY CENTRE BEING EVACUATED

[Big Bad Bob]

BBC Five Live are reporting that Birmingham city centre is being evacuated after an security alert. More soon.

False alarm. B'ham GB, not B'ham AL.

As Ann Colter said yesterday, "At first I suspected the Amish."

As you no doubt already also know, she went on to say, "Islam, finally a religion the liberals can endorse and allow people to practice"

[hispanarepublicana]

The suspects are Mormons, no... Quakers, no wait... Baptists..., uhhhhh Buddhists...

LOL. One more guess.......

False alarm. B'ham GB, not B'ham AL.

Not to the people in B'ham GB!

Is this on the level, Ivan?

My faviourite moment of the evening was watching a young man - reluctantly leaving the pub, but complying as we all did with the request. He was standing on a grass verge with his pint and yelling 'HEY TERRORIST. TERRORIZE THIS!' - and downing his pint in one. Then saying 'No bloody islamic nutter is keeping me from me beer'. All to wide applause.

Home now. Much fuss about nothing.

It's on the level that the police think there is a threat. It was just reported on Sky News. Vehicles are banned from the city centre at the moment.

We're in Folkestone, pretty much next door to the Channel Tunnel, in fact it goes pretty much underneath me. I remember where I was on 9/11, and the contempt and hatred that I had that day. Fast Forward three and a half years and that hatred had not dissipated, in those years I had matured a lot quicker than most people my age would, I'm very much political, and although my views are more liberal than a lot of yours, particularly on social and economical issues, I feel that I can talk in depth with most of you, in a way that I can't talk with my contempories, I have no time for Galloway, although I come from the left of the political spectrum, I find he is as much of a problem as the terrorists are, and I know I shouldn't say this being an lefty-radical, but Bush has done 10 times more to help Africa than Clinton ever could or wanted to.

LOL. One more guess......

A rabid liberal would say Jehovah's Witnesses.

[tiredoflaundry]

Hey the Quakers are

innocent!

[sofaman]

I love the sentiment...the British have never cowered before anyone and never will. From this ex-Commonwealther...Hey Terrorist...Sod Off!

[mware]

That was a hoot,

She went on and on about getting their prayers rugs, and being told which direct Mecca was in.

The only people free to worship are in Gitmo.

[Rocko]

Hope you are doing well, MadIvan.

OMG! Time to commence praying.

Going to have a look at the TV here now.

I knew I should have saved that British link to news from the thread on 7/7/05.

[neodad]

Bush's Fault! or do we now have to say: Blair's Fault?

[Brit_Guy]

"False alarm. B'ham GB, not B'ham AL."

It was pretty alarming for me! Still got helicoptors hovering over my home now!

[Big Bad Bob]

Alabama's too far north for Dennis!!! (I think!)
