THE BRITISH THREAD II

The two perps at Glasgow Airport had rented a house in Houston, a village near Abbotsinch.

And please note, America, that in Scotland, where the name originates, it's not pronounced Hugh-ston.

(Even the BBC got that wrong this morning. Embarrassed

)

Five people are in custody. Two were picked up on the M6 in Cheshire.

They should be ignored. It is you lot making this big deal over their activities that is the real problem whether it is for more money or to sound more virtuous or loyal matters not a jot.

You concerned, righteous know-alls are sitting ducks to an intelligent enemy.

That was the same point I made. But put rather worse. :wink:

Do you think the guy arrested and taken away smouldering from the Jeep Cherokee was trying to pre-empt the no smoking ban?

Personally Steve, I'd be more inclined to add fuel to the fire if the guys who coerced and brain-washed these poor souls into giving their lives up so ridiculously were ignited for a change!

Had a vision grab from scotland last night of an airport worker giving details of the bombing. Complete with subtitles which is a good thing cause I had no idea what he said, and yes he was speaking "english".

I'm glad you are on Francis.

What was a "lettre de cachet" in the ancient regime before the divine Marquis kicked off the revolution with a megaphone improvised from a turd pipe?

Do they still exist?

Have we an equivalent institution?

The "lettres de cachet" were abolished at the French Revolution, at the same time as monarchy.

Take a look here : Lettres de cachet

I believe the British never had such, you're protected by the Habeas corpus

Looking at that Wikipedia enry for Habeas corpus:

I always thought the translation of the phrase was "Whereas you have the body..."
Wiki give a different translation "(We command that) you have the body"
My big dictionary gives it as "Thou (shalt) have the body (i.e. in court)"

So we live, and learn

On the BBC this weekend: Wall-to-wall Gordon Brown, Andrew Marr, Alex Salmond, James Naughtie. To say nothing of assorted Scots weather-lassies.
Soon more of Alistair Darling, Douglas Alexander
