21/7 bombers made just one mistake,

police chief warns

[...]

 

In the starkest language that he has used since 52 people and four suicide bombers died in the 7/7 atrocities, Sir Ian spelt out the nature of the terrorist threat facing London.

"This is a campaign we are facing - not a one-off event," he said. "The second attack on July 21 should not be taken as some indication of weakening of the capability or the resolve of those responsible.

"This is not the B team. These are not amateurs. They made a mistake. They made one mistake. We are very, very lucky. The carnage that would have occurred had those bombs gone off would have at least been the equivalent to those on July 7."

Headline and §§, Times, p. 6, 29.7.2005.

'Gimme a W, gimme an A, gimme an L ...

Retail rocks at annual Wal-Mart rally

It was 6.30am and already the packed 20,000-seat Bud Walton Arena was rocking. The annual shareholders' meeting of Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, is unlike any other.

It is part rock concert, part massive pep rally for the thousands of workers invited from around the world and part revivalist meeting, reaffirming faith in the company and in God - a gospel singer provided some of the entertainment. This is Arkansas after all, the birthplace of Wal-Mart and heartland of conservative America.

An eleven-strong committee of MPs

- with only one knighthood,

a CBE and an Hon between them -

yesterday recommended that a whole raft of British gongs

should be consigned to the dustbin of post-imperial history,

taking Damehoods and K's with them.

How the Empire gong could be dumped in the dustbin of history:
