On the front, in the trenches somewhere in Belgium, 1917, the British infantry officer sent a runner back to rear echelon with this message.....
'Send reinforcements, we're going to advance'.
Well, this runner was killed on his way but he managed to pass the message on to another runner - and this happened a few more times.
By the time the message reached rear echelon, it had changed to....
'Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance'.
All these twistings of words as stories and rumours pass from one
well person to another - it's beyond belief.
Similar thing is happening in London right now. Two weeks ago a young
Turk innocent was shot dead by armed policeman because they thought he was a terrorist. Sadly, war produces innocent casualties
This is what the newspapers, tv and radio said.........
He was shot 8 times in the head,
He was wearing bulky clothes - obviously had explosives strapped
around his body
He emerged from a house frequented by El Quida people.
He wouldn't stop when challenged by said armed police
He had a fraudulent passport.
And so it goes on - and didn't the press love it?
It now appears that the only truth above is that he was a young Turk.
Latest news - there are elements within the British Police who
would like to destroy Sir Ian Blair, the new top dog at Scotland
yard BECAUSE HE IS BRINGING THE POLICE FORCE UP TO DATE
and there are elements within the force who will do anything
to bring him down - to stop the changes that he is implementing -
why? - because it suits them.
Haven't we heard of this sort of thing somewhere else, recently?

Actually he was a young Brazilian. Which only goes to prove your point even more.

That's why we should always try to get our information from the Source first. If that is not possible then don't shoot the messenger.

Yeah sure, bringing them 'up to date' by ensuring that his men must stop and search 'little old white ladies' just in case he's accused of being rascist!! The man is a a political correctness liberal freak. IMHO.
When I was young, the UK was the safest place in the world - anywhere,
even on Cable Street at 3 in the morning - I know, I used to get p***ed
at The Prospect of Whitby and stagger all over the place down the East End - SAFE.
If it takes political correctness, then those who live decent lives and don't
seek to destroy us will have nothing to fear - BUT, I do value my
freedom - such as it is under these destroyers currently in Westminster.
Just how I feel
