Lovenotfear Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 So what was the chances of this taking place on the same day, at the same stations, at the same time??? And still no judicial response!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Cretin - it was a paper based exercise in a room else where in London which IMAGINED what they would have to do IF something happened at those stations. No one at those stations or anywhere else other than in that room going through an imaginary scenario was involved in the exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 No - this is the crisis team who control 1000 people - the 1000 people weren't doing anything - only the crisis team pretending to be controlling them sitting down together in a room.

Chinahand Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It was about 8 people Link In fact, the 'exercises' he spoke of on Five Live were carried out purely 'on paper', or at least PowerPoint, by a small group of seven or eight executives (Power remains tight-lipped about the client) seeking to examine the impact on corporate decision-making of a potential crisis situation. As Fintan Dunne, editor of BreakForNews.com points out, 'these types of private-sector "risk management" drills never use field staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manshimajin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It is the job of the security forces to imagine potential threat scenarios and to work out how to handle them - unfortunately this is necessary because of a number of demented individuals who believe that violence is the answer to everything. The true conspiracy is the way these folk conspire to kill innocent people by using gullible youngsters. This is naturally not of any interest to 'conspiracy theorists'. Of course 'imagining' a scenario automatically enables some sad person living in Kells to accuse the security forces of actually doing it. What would be really great is if the people who sent those mentally disturbed young men out to blow themselves up actually had the courage to do it themselves.

Chinahand Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The programme on last night pretty comprehensively debunked the conspiracy theorists. Seeing them stutter as CCTV evidence contradicted their claims was interesting as they rapidly tried to justify their world view. It is reasonably terrifying that a religious nutter who believes he's the Messiah, Frank Herbert was compelled to write by God, and the Holocaust didn't happen has been able to create such excitement with a series of tenuous, exaggerated, unfeasable distortions of what happened. The last part of the film worried me most. Bin Laden and his ilk must love these "useful idiots" as they head off to mosques to convince practicing Muslims that the government set out to bomb london and blame it on Islam. Islamist Radicalism feeds on paranoia - I suppose its hardly surprising it's finding conspiracy theorists are common bed fellows - but its a dangerous combination.

What a wonderful effect it has labelling somebody a "conspiracy theorist"... = nutter!!
