This was the Angry Brigade we are talking about, don't forget. Their rampages through the length and breadth of the UK yielded but one minor injury, but got four people ten-year sentences. A piece of quaint British media-fuelled paranoia, treating the Keystone Cops as if they were a death squad.

WIKIPEDIA

The Angry Brigade was a British libertarian communist militant group responsible for bomb attacks in Britain between 1970 and 1972.

Strongly influenced by anarchism and the Situationists, their targets included banks, embassies and the homes of Tory MPs. In total, 25 bombings were attributed to them by the police. The damage done by the bombings was mostly limited to property damage although one person was slightly injured.

COMMENT
I see Pericles in his balance and consistency and accuracy has singled out the ONE fact which is the least important when 25 bombs have gone off. "only one person was slightly injured" Of course.. "intended outcomes" mean nothing to you..do they?

Well done Pericles.. nothing biased in you is there?

But wait..there is more on Mason:

QUOTE
During the late 1960s and early 1970s Mason was a supporter of the Angry Brigade terrorist group. She was one of the Stoke Newington Eight charged with planting or sending bombs which aimed to maim or kill government Ministers, their families and Conservative Party officials. She was one of the four accused who managed to gain an acquittal as a result of a long and still controversial trial[2]. Mason still refuses to discuss the trial in interviews today.[3]
Mason was an activist in the trade union and radical movements.

Yep..Pericles, nothing biased or selective or prejudiced about you :)

Fortunately the readers can 'read'.

They can also 'read' your own vested interest here..and it certainly is not in the interests of balance or truth...hmmm perhaps a bit of political solidarity? c'mon..which union is it Pericles? Unite?.. fess up.

Same old Boazy. Why don't you "fess up", Boazy?

Why the deception?

Dear CJ,

Thanks for setting me straight earlier.

But are you sure about AG?

Surely if he's BOAZ_David he'd tells us,
I mean, As you posted,
why the deception?

Just putting things into perspective for you, Boaz.

>>I see Pericles in his balance and consistency and accuracy has singled out the ONE fact which is the least important when 25 bombs have gone off. "only one person was slightly injured" Of course.. "intended outcomes" mean nothing to you..do they?<<

True. In terms of "intended outcomes", they failed. They never actually intended to hurt anyone at all, only to destroy property, in the grand "property is theft" tradition.

>>During the late 1960s and early 1970s Mason was a supporter of the Angry Brigade terrorist group<<

I'm sure we all did stupid things in our lives that we later regret. In fact, society is all the better for accepting a reformed person, who goes on to do "good works" for many decades.

Now that I think about it, isn't there one of the world religions that builds quite a strong selling-point around its attitude towards sinners?

And the forgiveness that they may receive, if they truly repent?

You are more attuned to religious stuff than I, Boaz, perhaps you can enlighten me as to which one that is?

And you're bringing in the Unions now? On what grounds?.

I love the way you impute motives to other people - almost at random, it would appear.

No, Boaz. No ulterior motives. Just a desire to present a balanced view.

And you are absolutely right about one thing.

Readers can and will work out for themselves who is being economical with the information provided, and who prefers to see the whole picture.

Yep..I DO regret heisting a crate of soft drink from the truck up the street one night when I was 14... evil stuff for sure.. hmm what's the penalty for that huge crime ? ummm.. "severe talking to by the magistrate" ?

BALANCED ? rofl you really are good for a friday dear Pericles :)

You regard a person who supported a bombing campaign as 'just one of those stupid things we do' ?

That's what I mean.. people can read that.. doncha know ?

I'm not going into the religious aspects of it at all.. nothing to do with it.. just pure politics.

Bomber is now equalities commissioner- she is also a lesbian.. hmm

yep..I can see the Bishop of Herefordshire walking out of her inquistion shaking his head muttering to himself "Gee.. 47,000 pounds! I didn't see THAT coming-seems just a tad harsh"
(for his rejection of a gay applicant for Christian youth leader)

This kind of insanity makes as much sense as my favorite - "The impartial aboriginal judge on the Federal court deciding on land rights" :)

FOXY
I suggest a walk along Camelia track.. in those favorite hills of yours. but if you pass a kind of bog hole.. watch out for the Wallaby..it scared the hell out of me when it jumped up and ran off. We can agree to disagree on the representativeness of councils. I'm a total bigot there :)

I'm going to sleep very well tonight.

Dear AG,

Thanks for sharing the fact that -

You're going to sleep well tonight.

Of course you are, and so you should!

Any day above ground is a good day!
