I hope David Davis & Co. are counting how many days they are being held without charge for.

I wonder if certain people are already making banners to 'Free the Blackburn Four'?

so why arrest em?

[accyman]

they should throw an extra charge of treason on top as well just to get a few more years in prison

pity you cant hang them

[cashman]

that was the point of my question accyman, if the uncovered plot had been 3 white, british christian men, i doubt very much the " Media" Police, would call it terrorism, treason or attempted murder possibly.

I believe the sign is on the drawing board at this very minute Rindi

what I found a bit odd about the original story was that the guys arrested at the airport were supposedly on their way to Iceland , wouldn't have thought it held much attraction for Islamic fundamentalists , Sven and Thor are not really the kind of names one associates with terrorism, more with chunky pullovers and cod , must be bit of a ****** when Ramadan falls during the summer and the sun never sets

I think it was Finland steeljack not Iceland, It also seems that this 4th guy who has been arrested is a white muslim convert, according to a muslim councillor in Blackburn, but he says he has never seen him in local mosques

Formal charges have now been laid and these three will be in court tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what the press has to report from Horseferry Road tomorrow.
