Security has been stepped up around the transport network in London, after a man was arrested over the discovery of a suspect device on a Tube train.

The 19-year-old suspect was detained by armed police on Friday afternoon in Holloway Road, north London. A Taser was discharged during the arrest.

A controlled explosion was carried out on the suspicious item at North Greenwich station on Thursday morning.

A witness to the teenager's arrest described him as white, bearded and wearing a hoodie.

From OP's link:

A source told the BBC the device was found by a member of the public and handed to a Tube driver.
...
The driver treated it as a suspicious and said it contained "wires and possibly a clock".

Sounds like the Four Lions school of jihadism. Bomb + wires + clock = Hollywood.

But what sort of muppet picks up what they think is a bomb and toddle off with it to the nearest tube driver?

That's how easy it has become to piss us off. A man with a beard, a woman with a scarf, an unattended bag, someone saying Allah o akbar, someone praying on the street, a bunch of wires and 'possibly a clock' GrinGrin

By the way, what could it exactly be that looked 'possibly like a clock?' Any ideas?

How come they know he's 19.
Doesn't it infringe his human rights?
Does he look older that those 14-17 year old Calais wallahs - is that how they know?

Not that odd after all it seems.


More information reaching the newswires about the white teenage boy being questioned by Anti-Terror Police.

The 'suspect' is alleged to have asked individuals to call him by his, erm, 'Muslim' name. (Oh dear, whatever can have brought that on?).

You can be sure that the liberal media won't be doing any such thing though. They will be calling him by his English name and emphasising his Englishness, just as terror suspects in Germany are generally referred to with German-sounding names like Boris Bernhard Steffi Gerd Franz (say the next one quickly, preferably coughing simultaneously) Mohammed Von Schumacher.

Still, I'm sure this latest London anti-terror operation is a big silly old misunderstanding, and that there'll be a perfectly innocent explanation. I blame past bullying in the terror hotbed of, erm, Newton Abbott, Devon myself.

No news yet though I'm sad to say of any passer-by parachuting in and heard to be saying "Youaintnomuslimbruv".

From the Mail:

A teenager arrested over a suspicious device found on the Tube was considering converting to Islam and had told people to call him by a Muslim name, it was claimed last night.

Damon Smith, 19, who had a distinctive high-pitched voice, also set up fake web profiles posing as women so he could talk with men all over the world.

The terror suspect also won £500 playing online poker on the day he allegedly left a crude bomb at North Greenwich station last Thursday.


So he's a wannabe muslim (apart from the transvestism and gambling) terrorist -- aka a mentally unbalanced fantasist.

The point about mental disorders is not that it's an excuse, just the opposite. It's what makes them dangerous when combined with the delusion that God wants them to blow people up.

That's what I always think. I also wonder why they can't choose better targets. For instance, you blow up a bomb at a busy crossroad and any car within reach should blow up as a bomb too(or not?). But it never happens. In developing countries, you can easily find 30+ cars in a 3-lane street that will cover a blast radius of a normal magnitude. But that never happens. I've never understood why.

By the way, there is some news around that the guy who did this is called Damon Smith and has claimed it was just a prank, though i dont know how reliable that news is.

If this is true, it just goes to show how easy it is to p1ss people off and make them hate a certain group of people.
