Just in time for the breakfast audience.
Maximum impact on summer holiday travellers.
Where's Peter Power ?
Bliar's on holiday. John Prescott at the helm. At the hem of someone's skirt more like.
A good day to bury bad news perhaps ?
Anything to do with the resignation of the Defence PPS and his claim that others are going to resign too ?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4777677.stm
This is massive news.
Jim Sheridan, Scottish MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North, is a Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister of Defence, Des Browne, and has quit "over the government's policy over the Middle East" and the governments use of UK airports, Prestwick in particular.
(Incidentally, these US flights are now refuelling at Mildenhall, Suffolk)
I watched Sheridan on the news late last night where he said that others are planning to resign too.
This claim, not surprisngly, has not been reported by the BBC.
Bliar under masive pressure over Lebanon.
Over 130 MP's, half of them Labour are pressing to recall parliament to discuss the crisis in Lebanon.
Bliar increasingly isolated in his own party.
Terror being used as a political tool ?
So the alleged plot involved bombs in hand luggage.
We all know that hand luggage goes through x-ray machines, twice.
Are these the type of hand luggage bombs that cannot be detected with the x-ray machines through which all hand luggage is scanned ?
No metal parts whatsoever ? No wires, all plastic and undetectable eh ?Hmmm
Mothers to drink baby milk as proof that formula is in fact not explosives ?
Hmmm
Be scared, be very scared....
Purely by coincidence of course, the Guardian has an interesting news story today about John Reid claiming that anti-terror critics "just don't get it" and that more "anti-terror" legislation is on the way in the Autumn.

My my these terrorists have progressed in 12 months haven't they.
From bombs made in baths using home made chemicals that can be bought in your local chemist to undetectable micro bombs in hand luggage with no metal parts ?
John Reid announced the new JTAC alert system only last month.
Are they "gaming" the new system ?
Great system eh, they raise the "threat" level after they announce they have discovered a terrorist plot, yet they have been doing this investigation "for months".
Hmmm.
Watch out for some bad news being buried soon or is it already being buried ?
20 alleged suspects, has now morphed into 20 planes.
Mother's testing baby milk has now morphed into "home made liquid bombs"
Just so we know that these are home grown bombs from home grown terrorists. Again.
Therefore "we cannot stop this from happening", " we cannot protect you" unless we impose more "anti terror" legislation.
Problem.
Reaction.
Solution.
Yawn.
