The car bomb you are calling may be switched off - please try later!

Difficult to know whether to laugh or scream after the weekend of madness we've just been through. And it's not over yet, with the security level raised to 'critical' and another terrorist attack imminent.

So let's get the laughter out of the way first, something which wouldn't have been possible had the bombers succeeded and hundreds of innocent people been killed or maimed.

Mistake One as far as the jihadists were concerned was trying to set off car bombs in the West End of London. The chances of either vehicle staying put for long enough to detonate were always going to be negligible.

This is priceless!

My favourite moment was the interview with the have-a-go hero at the airport who helped apprehend one of the would-be bombers. His account went something like: "I saw this Asian guy running towards me shouting 'Allah' — so I battered him."

I cannot believe that the British authorities released information about the failure of the cell-phone detonations, and the ability to use those phones to track down the terrorists.

Nothing like helping the terrorists move down their learning curve so they’ll be better able to carry out the next attack.

One could take this article and substitute “Homeland Security Agency” for “Labour Government” and it would perfectly describe the events in the USA, instead of Britain.

Our government has been just as daft on the WOT and immigration.

It’s all REALLY too bad. Because, if there was the least will AT ALL to keep them out, it could be done. After all, they do not look like us and could easily be fingered and tossed-out with NO trouble at all. All it would take is enough stones to enforce the law. Try passing yourself off for legal in any of THEIR countries!

Some of them are idiots, but there’s enough of the fanatical vicious death cult members that they will try something again, in a few weeks, after the heat’s off, and they will learn from their mistakes.
