Wonder if this will turn out to be something significant, possibly connected with the Olympics even.... :erm:

Hope not ,of course if i had my cynicle head on i would think it could all turn out to be the regular bout of arrests based on flimsy evidence designed to make us think we have a terrorist problem to justify all the government snooping

I'd rather them not take a chance.

Given the amount of serious flak the authorities get when they're deemed to have made arrests etc. and got it wrong, I doubt they'd be mounting such raids on a whim or for political reasons.

Of course if any of those arrested could be conveniently linked to the " I dont want to be deported " brigade things could get interesting. ;)

Yeah I don't suppose all those murdered in terrorist acts in France, Spain, Norway, Turkey, India, Algeria, Libya, Iraq, Arghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, Israel etc. etc. will have noticed that though...

Well, we reap what we sow. The country (and probably many others) are now home to an army of Fifth Columnists just waiting to go to work.

Let's just hope that "intelligence" finds most, or all, before they can carry out their deadly, cowardly acts against us.
