I was watching the ITV (the UK's main commercial channel) News last night, and they ran with a lead story that a 'major terrorist attack in the style of 9/11' had been thwarted in the uk. They had shots of 9/11 whilst they said that Al Queda had been foiled from carrying out a similar attack in London, ie flying planes into skyscrapers......their wasn't a shred of actual proof for this bollocks. This 'story' came from a journalist who said a 'senior authorative source' had said an attack had been planned, but he refused to say who by (after they had already said 'Al Queda' in the story), what stage the plans had got to, when it had been thwarted, whether anyone had been arrested (!) nor provided even a single shred of evidence to back up these claims.
And guess what? This is on the eve of the Queen's speech which announces the laws to be made in the next year of parliament. And what a fucking surprise, there are a whole raft of new 'anti-terror' laws, allowing 'suspects' to be held indefinitely without charge, trial without Jury.....the journalist in the news item made reference to this and said it was pure coincidence! What a crock of shit.
Its the worst kind of hack tabloid scaremongering I have ever seen on UK TV.
