A federal judge ruled yesterday that U.S. Postal Service officials had no special responsibility to alert workers at the Brentwood postal facility to deadly anthrax contamination in the building and cannot be sued by the employees.
---------------------
U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer said she found ample reason to believe that the officials showed deliberate indifference to worker safety by keeping the plant operating for four days after they privately confirmed the toxic spores had spread through the facility.
----------------------
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said, "We can't imagine that in the end that courts will sanction government supervisors lying to workers about biological toxins infecting their workplace. Let's be clear about the consequences here: People are sick to this day and some are dead, and the courts are saying 'Tough luck.' "

<< Do
Kensington & Chelsea or Bromley in some way figure in recent events? >>
Didn't princess Diana live in Kensington Castle? ...Not that that has to do with any-thing, but it is Kensington and it figures in recent events as you asked.
Never heard of a Bromley connexion tho.

Bromley born was Richard Reid... A quick search confirms this.
So... I wonder... Does the street Sloane Gardens in the false address on Ramzi Yousef's false ID card refer obliquely to a Bromley connection?

Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel lie
Emptied of its poetry.

Interesting: We have carefully examined the nomenclature,functioning,and provenance of a fake ID card -complete with lunar eclipse imagery;have traveled to Brixton and Bromley in search of sinister and surreptitious Sufis-Gone-Wrong; and enjoyed a number of very entertaining rhymed couplets.
At this point,I wonder:"Holy cripes ! Have we been out a-hunting snipes?"

In Pennsylvania, down near York
There resides quite the dork.
Though he oft gets on a roll,
He's always fingered as a troll.
