| The headline should attract attention
if nothing else. After all, who doesn't want to make money? Still,
the internet is nothing if not awash with get-rich-quick scams and I
therefore understand your initial skepticism. However, let me assure
you that this information is genuine This opportunity comes to us courtesy of the European Empire
which, ever mindful of the need to be seen to be doing something,
has published a list 'person and groups considered to be
terrorists'. Well, it's a start I suppose but where do we go from
here I wonder? One of the named persons is someone actually called
ENEKO GOGEASCOECHEA ARRONATEGUI. Are they serious? How are we
supposed to catch him when we can't even pronounce him??!!
The list is also replete with names that all sound like Hamsi
Gamsi Up'Ya Bumsi (the EU has confidently identified him as the
mastermind behind the Real IRA) and the list of organisations
includes the Terrorist Wing of Hamas! Beg pardon, but exactly
what other wings do they have? A Catering Wing? (Hummous?)
Having published this portentious list and duly finger-wagged
about the seriousness of terrorist activities (which they define as
including, and I kid you not, 'compelling the government to do
something') they don't appear to be doing much else about it.
Perhaps they feel they should lead their anti-terrorist crusade by
example and feel themsleves under no compulsion. But, really, how
difficult could it be to get these dudes? After all they got their
names and, for a lot of them, identity card numbers. Surely even
Inspector Clouseau could wrap this one up? He could start by
cross-checking names against welfare cheques. That would probably do
the trick
But, no. Apparently further proposals are 'under negotiation'.
Don't expect fireworks. See the boys in Brussels just aren't cut out
for all this terrorist-fighting stuff. It's not in their nature. If
you want 26,000 pages of regulations about the grain of wood to be
used in garden furniture than they are the boys you call. For
anything marginally more dynamic, contact the FBI or Mossad |
