(The proper version of this post, with photos of Björk sticking her tongue out, are
over here on the blog at my website, but I thought I should start copying stuff to Myspace again...)

I am extremely pleased to see that the sweeping powers of Britain's Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act - passed in 2001 to keep Britain safe from global terror - are being used to defend Britain's shores from the lethal threat of Icelandic bank accounts.
Although lawyers, the Financial Times, and other lily-livered defeatists who would capitulate in the face of Icelandic Bank Terror are less pleased:
"Lawyers said the Treasury's unprecedented use of anti-terror powers
to freeze Landsbanki's estimated £4bn UK financial assets could create
knock-on problems for other institutions with which the failed lender
was doing business.
The freezing order was issued under the 2001
Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act that was passed after the
September 11 attacks the same year."
More news from the latest front in the global war on terror
here...We must remain vigilant. This is just the start. Iceland's sinister banking sector may have sleeper units all over the UK. We cannot show weakness. We cannot show mercy. I hereby call on
Gordon Brown to authorise an SAS raid on
Björk's Post Office Savings Account.
