Running to catch a train

[rowyn]

This version of the events leading to the London Tube shooting is the most unbelievably awful thing I can recall reading.

...

I'll be following this one to see what else comes out. I hope the officers have better justification than it currently appears. O_o

Agreed, but there's even worse behind the scenes.

Scotland Yard's story has been twisted repeatedly, to the point where it has little resemblance to the original reports.

Now, what we have no objective basis for choosing between:

• New story is more accurate
• Old story is more accurate

Now...I'm willing to bet that the ethnicity correction is "right": the passport would be a big slap in the face, and the changes were foreshadowed almost immediately (within two hours).

I'm equally willing to bet that the clothing correction is "wrong". And that is what I find awful about the whole thing. More of the same old EU law enforcement junk that actively permitted the July 7th subway bombings, actively allowed the Red Brigade run rampant for decades in France, and so on.

I was hoping the U.K. would use this trigger to follow the Netherlands in waking up before commiting ethno-suicide by multiculturalism, but apparently not. [Yes, I'm being inflammatory. The biggest indirect military threat to the U.S. is EU non-leadership, and this is looking more and more like a continuation of same.]

Orwell's 1984's historical redaction is closely based on Stalin's U.S.S.R. — right down to sending out pages to replace pages in already printed encyclopedias. That's the stench I'm inclined to perceive.

And a slightly sanitized Stalinist U.S.S.R. history model is a great species psychology hook; it's one of the three foundational things I know about Tzarz sociology.
