Angry Travellers Hit Out At Plotters
It goes to this article…
‘Terrorists Must Not Win’
…where the quote in the headline never appears, neither does ‘anger’ and only one of the interviewed travellers is actually talking about ‘terrorists’. (“If I can’t get to Brighton, they win.”) Everyone else is stoic/philosophical about missed flights or 8 hours without their iPod. WTF is that? WAKE the f*ck up and for Christ’s sake GET MAD !! Whatever happened to “I want the people who wish me dead DEAD!” English grace under pressure is one thing, but we are fast approaching Neville Chamberlin territory. C’mon, c’mon, c’MON and stop this pretense of feeling their pain when THEY’RE the ones inflicting it!
Can you imagine a New Yorker, had it been centered here? (I can…)
“I don’t give a rats a$$ who these motherf*ckers think they are, but they can come see Vinnie and I’ll show them how we act in this country. Blowin’ up women and children and disruptin’ interstate commerce? You and what army, Ahmed? I got your virgins right here, you sick [p-word]. Those f*cked up bastards need their a$$es kicked and we’re just the guys to do it. I’d say back to the stone age, but, since they’re already there, there ain’t much point to diplomacy, like we were f*ckin’ French or something.”

Come on. I can’t believe that you are making such a big deal about Mary Traver’s remarks concerning her transplant. The whole situation is just ironic, but you are moronic

iris, There is nothing “ironic” about this. Terrorists plot to blow up planes over the Atlantic, the authorities stop them just in time, and people are seriously inconvenienced. Not dead, though.
Why shouldn’t people be angry? These creatures were actively plotting to kill hundreds of innocent people. It might have been one of them, or a close relative. That they are so accepting of the situation speaks volumes of how little they care about the terrorist threat, which was poised to strike them.
This approaches the level of deliberate ignorance, of burying your head in the sand, and pretending that all is well.
Anger is a well proven survival characteristic. The lack of anger is not the typical British stoicism, and it is not healthy for people or a society.
So your “you are moronic” comment is way off base. And unless you can coherently explain how this situaiton is “ironic”, I have to think that your IQ falls well to the left on the Bell Curve.
It’s curve ball out of leftoid field, Jeff. Dang. I believe she stumbled upon an appropriately titled older entry that set her moonbat meter a pingin’. This post was the closest thing and still open for comment.
Hee! Iris=Mary T.
We were in the car listening to Larry Elder yesterday, and some moonbat called in wanting to know why the US was “attached at the hip to Israel” (the woman caller claimed to be “Irish Catholic, I love everybody” and was well into her twilight tippling hour) and Larry, God bless him, explained in a lengthy manner to her that if it weren’t for Israel, they’d WANT US DEAD ANYHOW.
And Jeff, you’re right, the only irony there is the patent LACK of irony. Sort of like that insipid Alanis Morrissette song.
Heh, I wondered about “Mary Travers”….I figured the name came from the article you referenced, but SkyNews had changed the headline (couldn’t find it when I looked). I never thought of a past post from you.
iris is still from the left side of the Bell Curve, though. Mary Tavers is a classless witch without a bone of decency in her (now that I’ve re-read your old post).
Susanna, when someone says that “I love everyone”, that’s a warning sign of classic cluelessness. People who claim to “love everyone” ignore the fact that many people (e.g., Muslim terrorists) don’t want to return the love. Or it’s just a cover for their own personal prejudices, something to make them feel all warm and fuzzy while they vent their ire.
What? Am I saying that Madam Tipple on the radio show that you described may have been lying? You betcha! Possibly to the audience, but certainly to herself.
We’ve been getting a fair number of people surfing in on Google searches for the delightfully rude Ms. Travers. We’re up high on the first page when you look for her and her bone marrow. Of course, only her fans would probably be looking for updates and our post has to be quite a shock, leading them to desperate searches for an open thread to register the moronocity.
Oh well, pooh. That was the headline for their link from the homepage. At least the ‘terrorist’ one is still there.
I want the British MAD. I daresay no one was worried what to call the IRA so as not to offend them when they were blowing sh*t up, so why this [p-word] footing around now?
Mary Tavers is a classless witch without a bone of decency in her…
That’s probably why she needed the transplant, JeffS.
Well, then, the transplant didn’t take, eh? ;-P

I agree. It’s almost pathologicial now, the Brits accepting this as “business as usual”. What, you want to be blown up? This reminds me of the movie Brazil……which ain’t a good thing.
Exactly, Jeff! That was what was soooo comical. The “I’m Irish Catholic and I love everybody” bit. Do you love everyone because you’re Irish Catholic? Or are you just mentioning that you’re part of a once-oppressed religious group? Or are you mentioning your religious affiliation as a means to explain the 1/2 liter of cooking sherry tippled by 1700 hrs? Are you mentioning the love you have for everyone in the insane hope that said love is returned? Kum-bay-ya, where’s the bottle? And a thousand apologies to the Irish Catholics of the world, really, because I don’t think that woman represents you at all.
AAAAAAGGGGGGHH. Was hilarious.
As for Travers? Well, I said my bit back then when that issue was discussed, having been very close to someone (Julie) who was a transplant recipient. Who didn’t act like an ungrateful shitbird.
As for the British? Yes, they should be livid. I am.
