Think Matchstick heads. Lots and lots and lots.

Ah, I knew I couldn't trust that McEnroe.

I have it on fairly good authority that tennis balls are great fun to fill with petrol, set on fire, then throw at something hard. This came from a time when kids making burney stuff for fun was relatively normal though.

As for the weedkiller, i kinda used that when I was a kid instead of fertiliser as an oxidising agent, it works pretty well, comes in small containers as opposed to huge bags and is quite affordable.

We grew out of it and never had any intention of using it in anger, although it will make us better prepared for future zombie attacks...

I think we should be vary wary of discussing lowgrade homemade explosives. However nostalgic it might be!

So many memories. So many minor burns.

"M'lud, my client was purely collecting the tennis balls, weedkiller and other assorted chemicals in preparation for the zombie apocalypse."

Yes, I can see you would get 30 hours community service tops.

[Baby Huey]

I'm guessing Soovy will be defending him.

To be fair... Could a man really terrorise the UK with that sort of low grade equipment? I'll bet he couldn't even blow up a bus shelter.

The guy sounds, and to a lesser extent looks, like a complete mental case. Especially with the way he was caught.

Assuming that article is accurate, sounds to me that he should be sectioned not detained under the terrorism laws.

I worry the police play far too fast and loose with these laws.

They still keep harping on about those idiots trying to blow up glasgow airport when only terrorism they caused was the rest of Glasgow finding out they'd missed the opportunity to headbutt a burning man and not get arrested afterwards...

Good grief I think hell's frozen over, a whole BBC news article on a white supremacist loon and they didnt find a way to blame the bnp!

KING HENRY V
What treasure, uncle?

EXETER
Tennis-balls, my liege.

KING HENRY V
We are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us;
His present and your pains we thank you for:
When we have march'd our rackets to these balls,
We will, in France, by God's grace, play a set
Shall strike his father's crown into the hazard.
Tell him he hath made a match with such a wrangler
That all the courts of France will be disturb'd
With chaces. And we understand him well,
How he comes o'er us with our wilder days,
Not measuring what use we made of them.
We never valued this poor seat of England;
And therefore, living hence, did give ourself
To barbarous licence; as 'tis ever common
That men are merriest when they are from home.
But tell the Dauphin I will keep my state,
Be like a king and show my sail of greatness
When I do rouse me in my throne of France:
For that I have laid by my majesty
And plodded like a man for working-days,
But I will rise there with so full a glory
That I will dazzle all the eyes of France,
Yea, strike the Dauphin blind to look on us.
And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his
Hath turn'd his balls to gun-stones; and his soul
Shall stand sore charged for the wasteful vengeance
That shall fly with them: for many a thousand widows
Shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands;
Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles down;
And some are yet ungotten and unborn
That shall have cause to curse the Dauphin's scorn.

Well then, I'll do it for them: the BNP, particularly with its newfound hint of legitimacy, helps people liek this to convince themselves that their beliefs are both acceptable and widely held.

Happy now?

[Jasandjules]

So, person who thinks as a white man he is "superior" shows just how inferior he is to even the intellect of bacteria by getting into a ruck at the worst possible time.......

No great surprise.

But terrorist? No, Racist scum, yes.
