plainmoorpete Glad that's been made clear, as otherwise there were bound to be those who would immediately have suspected it could have been a case of dangling enough rope in the hope of enticing someone to hang themselves. Then again if Reg or anyone else hasn't learned to spot a obviously laid trap by now, and still choose to blunder straight into it, there's little you can do. No doubt by applying his shrewdly observed 'Reg/Register' rule of thumb, he'll be alerted to either tread carefully, or preferably sidestep that neatly prepare piece of dodgy ground completely. Floridagull Florida has made a excellent post, and while the argument as to whether Mr. Usman Khan (important to address him correctly and with full respect it seems otherwise there'll be some 'politically incorrect' accusation heading your way) should have been shot continues to rage on Social media, with the fans of one particular political leader decrying the shooting, I think we can agree that our resident Leftists on this Forum have neither said that, or may have decided to keep that opinion to themselves. However the more sympathetic concerns immediately pouring out for the dear departed Mr. Usman Khan from some on one particular end of the political spectrum, when set against their demands that anyone guilty of ' unapproved speech' should be hung drawn and quartered, does rather 'get the goat' of many, when the double standards are so glaring. As Toby observed yesterday:  And of course our progressive Leftist establishment have been getting more and more generous with the second chances they issue. 'Off you go now and be good boys, and no more plots to blow up the Stock Exchange. It's just that we'll be needing the jail space for more serious offenders, such as those who we intend apprehending for 'racist' wordplay, or are believed to support Brexit'
But getting back to Florida's sensible observations, and he'll be aware from his time over here, why the British public get particularly angered when their authorities so readily put dangerous figures back out onto the streets so soon after capturing them while plotting to carry out murderous crimes.  If by law, you're going to demand that your populace are sitting ducks, then the gay abandon with which you quickly discharge violent fanatics back onto the streets is going to really frustrate people who don't want themselves or their kids sliced up when all they're trying to do is innocently walk along the pavement minding their own business. Is it any wonder there are plenty of ironic suggestions being made online, that narwhal tusks and fire extinguishers will quickly now be made illegal after this ? As has been explained in some quarters. The current procedure, certainly in London, was followed by the Police officer who shot Mr. Usman Khan. Possibly under different political leadership, possibly in the near future, (here's looking at you, Jezza) different protocols might be introduced, Perhaps an ASBO (do they still exist ?) being issued to Mr.Khan, and then sending him on his way, instead of shooting him ?. It's a strange old politically correct world we live in. And it might get a whole lot stranger after the next election ....even if Boris wins.  Operation Kratos

I don't see why we are even wasting any time asking about the reason this guy was shot. The minute he strapped on his suicide vest (fake or not) and taped knives to his hands, meant he had complete disregard for the laws of our land, and was intent on killing someone. There was no pretense otherwise from him. Why anyone should think he should then be entitled to the protection of those laws, after he had succeeded in his intent, makes no sense to me. This end result means he will never be a threat to any decent law-abiding people again, and that's just fine by me. And that's the way it used to be, he murdered two people (one a woman) going about their business, he's dead, move on! No longer though! Now they have to find someone to blame for what happened, when of course there is no one to blame but the murderer himself! |

Register Some highly perceptive points as always from Mr.Register. And in some way it's the predictable speed off the mark in their efforts to shift the blame that is the most depressing thing about the Left Wing Press at times like these; the Daily mirror being first out of the blocks, informing us that 'school bullies' are the real culprits in this case.  A different use of language of course, but it's worth noting that Reg is blessed with a perceptiveness and an insight into the direction that our current society is heading, that is on a par with those that some consider to be the great philosophers and social commentators of our age. It's far to easy to take his pearls of wisdom for granted.  |

The point of Rob's post is that no one has said the guy should not have been shot. It's just Reg reading in things that are not there. Very good post Pete, not 100% correct of course!  Thanks Pete. 100% correct. Thanks for all replies. I’m not remotely interested in making an election based point about this tragedy at this time and sad to hear that both the main political party leaders and some twitter users appear to have decided to do so in the short time since. |

RED KEN DEMONSTRATES HIS SOCIALIST ENTITLEMENT !It's not been a good weekend in publicity terms for Mayor Khan's London Socialist paradise. And this morning's scenes of 'Red Ken' Livingstone putting the boot in to demonstrate his Socialist privilege, served only to remind us what most already knew, some are more equal that others, and it's the Socialist elite who are never slow in expecting special treatment for themselves. Not content in holding up the passengers on the train and on the one behind, even when an Underground employee has to leave the work he was engaged with to free our selfish Socialist's big foot, Red Ken then has the nerve to demand he should be allowed onto the train. Surely he needed to be kept off for his own safety, less the passengers get their hands on him ?

We all know these 'committed commies' only expect their disciples to follow the communist ideals. Mundane hardships such as waiting their turn are not for them. Loads of people stick their foot in tube doors and lift doors come to that, doesn't matter if their leftie or not. |

Plainmoorpete
Pete is exactly right. When it comes down to it, and when a decision had to be made, even Red Ken is motivated by his own personal best interests. Any theory about 'the greatest good for the greatest number' flies straight out the window. If the occupants of 2 trains have to be delayed so that Ken can get on board, rather than having to wait extra minutes on the platform waiting for the next one, then that's OK by him.
Just watch Red Ken complain once Jezza nationalises his newts ! A bit of Socialist theory when it suits, yet be it Underground or fish tank, no political theory will stop him choosing firstly to do what's in the best interests of Red Ken himself.

Speaking of Red Ken...have I mentioned the 'Suck Zone?' I always thought 'Red Ken' got his name because of his insane idea during the London Rush Hour. His idea seemed to be to keep the lights on 'Red' as long as possible, thus keeping the Rush Hour traffic contained within London for about five or six hours! The 'Suck Zone' came from a German guy who said that in the major cities of his country, all the lights stayed on 'Green' for as long as possible, thereby, 'Sucking' the traffic out of the major cities! All completed in about half an hour seemingly. On the subject of lights, my near neighbours (about half a mile) have decided to have electricity installed on their property! They have to fork out about £20.000 to get it done, but when you live in a country that gives all its money away to crap causes, what else can you expect! I see that Mugabe's bank account (the one they know of) contained about £8.000.000 when he died, all kindly donated by the British Government! If Mugabe was in power for nearly 40 years, how much did he receive in total...£100.000.000...£500.000.000... I've mentioned before, that when the 'Yoof' come up to where I live, they are in total panic because there is no mobile signal, imagine if they had no electricity...they have no bloody idea! |

When Reg initially came up with the idea for a thread that would mostly feature his twaddle, I must admit I was in full agreement with his opening comments 'Have decide to start a thread called remotely interested! I've called it that, because no one but myself will be...well...remotely interested!'Yet it's received almost a whacking 9000 happy and entertained reads. Having posted a reminder as to the Election Day weather, partly as a public service announcement, but also partly because I didn't think TFF had had much activity yesterday either. But how wrong you can be by erroneously jumping to such assumptions solely based on posting activity. And while it might be the case that viewers flock to TFF mainly to see if Reg has added anything new to his 'Remotely' thread, all the evidence then points to them hanging around and taking a look at what else is on offer. As I was logging off after making the 'Election weather' post, I was pleasantly surprised to see the numbers enjoying different sections of the site. 51 taking a look at old programmes, 27 'genning' up on past seasons, even sections I never look at from one year to another, had comfortably attracted double figures. Assuming the information isn't of a confidential nature that's available to TUST members only , I wonder if any of the Admin team could tell us whether this is a bit of a blip, or about what you'd expect for a weekday lunchtime ?   |

Whether it is still some of the same people that has taken them since lunchtime to get through it all or if new fans are rediscovering the glories/disasters of over a decade of match reports who knows? Anything to get away from the election coverage eh? Definitely a bit of a blip! |

Reg Hadn't noticed that pesky auto-correct had activated itself. Originally 'twinkle' ... or 'twinkling prose and amusing anecdotes' ... I forget what my exact words were due to be before I made some alterations. I'll get the hang of this technology eventually  |

Nope. I shouldn’t think that’s very likely. I doubt that to be true. 1. Racist wordplay? 2. What did you consider they had in common other than their act in tackling this man to the floor, register? All the problems with terrorists? Did he really say that or have you made that up? The latter appears most likely. Who are you suggesting should be doing this regarding this terrorist attack? I love it when people dissect someone else's posts like that. I'm unable to do it (can't be arsed to learn I suppose) so will reply in the best way I can. The number 1 will coincide with your first out of the box thingy...letter B-Z if you require more than one answer. Here we go. 1: I didn't know for sure so I thank you for that. 2: Probably not, but if you have people like Lilly Allan crying over Corbett's Manifesto...the possibility does exist. 3: Easily checkable if you're on that site...which you will be. 4: If you think it's not daft to tie knives to your hands, murder two people, wear a vest that real or not looks like explosives, be surrounded by armed police and flash said vest at them...there's nothing much I can say really. B: Beards. 5: That one I can semi-concede. Certainly to that particular incident, but not to all maybe...though no doubt he thinks that. 6: Everyone! From the PM down...at least then they will be acknowledging that there is a problem. Just a little update on what the people involved in this have in common...besides beards. It now seems that there was quite a lot they had in common: two of the good guys were ex murderers, (two out of three aint bad) one of those was previously got off Heroin by the guy that was killed...you'd get long odds on all that. Is that God moving mysteriously...or something else? |
