Ye tourists, now hearken to me:
The terrorists want us, you see,
All living in fear -
So do not stay here,
But pack up your luggage and flee!
This terrorist slaughter's designed
To panic the calm British mind,
So do not delay:
Enter Fortress UK
And pull up the drawbridge behind!
Hotel-keeping wogs perhaps fear
Conditions becoming austere;
But Britons must fight
To do what is right:
Vacations in London next year!
Flemman Pluck, FCO
'The UK government had stressed there was no new "specific or imminent" threat, but intelligence had led officials to the view that a further attack was "highly likely".'
ReplyDeleteIt must have been too tempting not to milk this one for all it was worth.
No doubt the very non-specificity and non-imminence of this latest threat are indications of the ruthless nebulosity which must be pursued and extirpated with equally nebulous legality.
