What a shock

According to the reports on the Radio today MI5 are claiming that the reason they were unable to follow-up the July 7th bombers was because they are under-resourced. I don't know if this is true (how hard would it have been to tip off special branch? Why isn't that standard operating procedure?) but assuming for a moment that it is I think we have to ask ourselves:

When we are spending nearly FORTY BILLION POUNDS per year on defence why are the intelligence services unable to do their job?

Perhaps when Blair and his cronies are out of the way that it will be possible to mount a proper examination of the last 6 years and how we've managed to flush so much of OUR TAX MONEY down the toilet pursuing Bushes war agenda in the middle east?

It would be nice if the same amount of effort could be expended on that story as the nauseating coverage of whether or not bloody Prince Harry will go to Iraq. Send him or don't fucking send him, I don't give a rats ass. The entire royal family can tour Basra in an open top bus for all I care for them.

Curiouser and Curiouser! on intelligence-services
