Sunday Times columnist Rod Liddle weighs into the debate on the angry motorist who is sending letter bombs to the country's driving institutions. Responding to Richard Littlejohn's remarkable plea for someone to examine the root causes of his grievance, Liddle says:
Well, the “root cause”, mate, is a profound psychological imbalance on the part of the bomber, not our road safety legislation.
So it's not the fault of Britain's motoring community then?
Osama, you have made my day - really, really made my day.
The only reasonable interprtation which can be made of this post is that you are comparing the Highway Code to the Koran.
Even by your low standards, that's just effing PRICELESS!

This letter bombing campaign is part of the Zionist strategy to divert attention from the destruction of the Al-aqsa mosque with the US supplied bulldozers. I'm supprised it has not been blamed on Muslims.

Latest reports suggests that the Connecting motorists Fund has been setup by the government to combat motorist extremism.
The once influential Motorists Council of Britain has been accused of extremism as they believe the route to motorist terrorism is government policy. Yet it seems the newly formed unleaded motorist council has the backing of the government, even though it is reported that is unlikely that they claim to represent the silent majority.

In case you missed it,
here is a report from BBC Lancashire about the court appearance of someone who was discovered with the largest bomb-making factory ever found in the UK -

Obviously,
the BBC doesn't want to alarm everybody hence confining the story to one of their 'BBC regions', rather than doing what it usually does - filming from overhead helicopters the police van taking suspects to court, with breathless interviews of local people, with on-the-spot live outside broadcasts - all in order to give some pre-publicised police raid, or other, some kind of specious importance.
