I’m about to carry a rucksack from Finsbury Park to King’s Cross on the Tube. Assuming the SAS don’t shoot me, I’ll then go to Scotland for the weekend to watch people burning a wicker man. Have fun without me…
Update: my apologies to the SAS. It is, of course, the Metropolitan Police who shoot innocent rucksack-wearers.
I’m impressed you can get from Finsbury Park to King’s Cross on the tube at all…
(NB: That was a security alert point, not a "John B couldn’t find his own arse on the tube with both hands and a map" one)
Can I be the first to call you an apologist for an outrage against humanity. That goes for all your readers, by virtue of association, as well as the denizens of Finsbury Park, Scotland, and certain suburbs of Manchester, bruschetta eaters, Seamus Milne …
Well said Dave. And talking of outrage against humanity, regards to AL Kennedy while you’re in the Land O’Cakes.
PS – you’re not REALLY going to some Wicker Man enactment are you ? ‘Twould be very sad.
go on, jump the barrier :-)
The obvious solution to the bomb problems is if all Londoner’s use transparent bags. And clothes probably.
I really can’t see why anyone would want to go and watch a thing like that – I don’t agree with the burning of Policemen inside large wicker men at all.
Matthew, nice idea. Two words of objection to transparent clothes. Stephen Pollard.
Succesfully reached KX without being shot, exploded or marooned by suspect packages; now on northerly train. Festival is mostly music focused, with wicker man as sideline. And going was my girlfriend’s idea. Honest.

…and those who don’t will be considered fair game. Mind you, this might have a negative impact on the tourist trade.
Which is better: watching a large wicker man being burnt, or writing Laban Tall’s blog? I know which I’d rather…
I wonder if the jihaddists will stop cutting off your ignorant little head if you scream to them "Bbbut I UNDERSTAND you!! I agree with your cause!!"
Moron.

If only Sgt Howie had thought of that, eh readers?
I’m impressed w/John’s mobile blogging. If only I had a mobile.
In for a penny etc. You may as well go the whole hog and blog the festival, complete with phone snaps of said wicker chap.
Do the good folk of Galloway (no relation) know what they’re in for ?
Laban – try clicking on your name there.
I say, that’s rather good.
Yes JohnB, its the SAS that you need to worry about.. they’re the ones who’re killing people indiscriminately.
What could be the root cause of their action though?
