I utterly condemn inflicting injury on personnel; however, I feel a sense of revolution in this – few 'businesses' are more deserving.


Note: there are trolls who have an irrational hatred of the SS campaign. These trolls are using this thread as ‘evidence’ that the contributors to this thread condone letter bombing; nothing can be further from the truth. I have demonstrated my reasoning to these trolls, only to be met with twisted words, selective quotes out of context and outright lies, in their puerile attempts to impress other trolls. These people can never be taken seriously. Evidence of their poor behaviour is available on request.

The reasoning of this post and subsequent others are given a few pages later in this thread.

Stupid actions!

But are people being pushed too far?

Stupid actions yes, but I believe the populace are starting to vent their anger and will only escualate.

Your right, but our governments don't appear to want to listen to population.

Of course they do!! Have you not seen the lengths they have gone to to give us a site to air our concerns in petition format, or the seriousness and attention they give these petitions and their replies?

And I suppose that's all meant to make me feel better?

So the government tell you to pay them, even though you get nothing for it, and if you dare retaliate they call you a terrorist?

Reminds me of school bullies.

So anyone who doesn't gain anything from an aspect of govenrment policy should be free to post incendiary devices to the department concerned then?

Well maybe not, but the government shouldn't take our money from us for no good reason and they shouldn't call us terrorists for disagreeing with them. They use the 'terrorist' claim for anyone doing a peaceful protest now, don't they?

While I am strongly against the idea of a private company taking control of what is otherwise a good scheme, it is just plain wrong to injure an innocent person, who probably works for money just like us, and has nothing to do with the scheme.


Their case is weekened as now we know at least one person against the scheme is insane...

Why do you suppose it is the "scheme" being opposed violently ?
Have you read the capita publicity ?
Irons in the fire ??????

Lets face it, they just got to have more enemies than over-charged motorists.
£1.5 billion turnover.

I don't think insane; they just broke before the rest of us did. Mass Civil disobedience is coming and its coming fast.
A story this evening on a regional programme depicts the situation perfectly. A young man, his wife and child, living in a flat above an Asian newsagent, were hounded for 18 months by youths who, at various times, had threatened to burn the house down and assault his wife and child. The police were informed on several occasions and did absolutely nothing about the situation, even though the offenders were known to them. At his wit's end, the young man confronted the gang who, being typical bullies, ran away, but he managed to find one of them in hiding and reasoned with him that this had to stop. The youth agreed to return to the young man's house and apologise to his wife and the newsagent, which he duly did.
The next day, the police turned up on his doorstep and arrested him for 'illegally imprisoning' the youth in question. He was held on remand for 18 months and, when the trial was finally dragged to court, none of the youths or witnesses for the prosecution could be bothered to turn up and the case was thrown out.
Call that justice? I most certainly do not.
It is far from a unique case...

Oh and, Nicycle - Congestion Charging is a good scheme? Oh dear! I think that those greenhouse gases are starting to get to you...

Two hurt in 'mail bomb' explosion

Two men have received minor injuries in a "small explosion" at an accountancy company in Berkshire.

Thames Valley Police were called to Vantis, in Oaklands Business Centre, Wokingham, just after 0900 GMT when an item of mail ignited.

The firm's building was evacuated and a cordon has been set up around the site.

Police said they were aware of a similar incident in central London on Monday but it was too soon to speculate on any possible connection.

South Central Ambulance Trust said two men, aged in their 30s, were treated for minor injuries but had not been taken to hospital.

Building evacuated

Ambulance spokesman Graham Groves said: "The paramedic teams treated two male members of staff, in their 30s, for blast injuries to their hands and upper body.

"However, their injuries were not considered serious and they did not need treatment in hospital."

Fourteen people were forced to leave the building.

Ross Clarkson, a spokesman for Vantis, confirmed two members of staff had received "superficial" injuries that were treated on site.



He would not speculate as to whether the incident could be connected with Monday's "small" explosion at the Capita building in Victoria Street, central London, in which a woman received minor injuries.

Mr Clarkson said the firm, which has its headquarters in London, does tax and accountancy work for small to medium-sized businesses and is not connected with Capita.

Staff have been sent home for the day.

Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism unit is investigating Monday's explosion.

A spokesman for the force said officers would examine whether there were any links between the incident and Tuesday's blast.
