Humpty And His Numpties

At first the reports had a serious tone.

Here’s the Telegraph on 21^st February:

It would have been the most devastating terrorist attack on British soil leaving hundreds dead – and by al-Qaeda inspired but “home-grown” Islamic fanatics.

Up to eight suicide bombers carrying backpacks rammed with explosives and armed with guns were to carry out a horrifying blend of the 7/7 and Mumbai atrocities.

But after journalists had some time to digest the story a different picture emerged. This headline from the Daily Mail a couple of days later was typical of the new take on things:

The obese 'mummy's boy' too fat to be a suicide bomber: Classmates say 23-stone chemist behind terror plot to murder 2,000 people in attack 'bigger than 7/7' was 'idiot joker'

So it turns out that the leader of the latest Muslim conspiracy to bring mass murder to the streets of Britain, Irfan Naseer, is in the words of his barrister an “overweight, lazy, mummy’s boy”. The Mail goes on to tell us about how his old schoolmates are amazed to hear that the class joker “Chubbs” planned evil mass murder. And there is also the cute vignette about how “the class idiot” would have everybody in stitches in the playground with his rap performances.

His classmates were right to be surprised at “Chubbs” transformation into a terrorist mastermind. Because after years of fantasizing about murder the only metamorphosis he achieved was from “the class idiot” to the jihadi idiot.

This graduate in pharmacy was “the brains” behind the saddest bunch of losers since … the last Islamist mass murder plot. Fat boy, a chemistry whizz, comes up with the idea of distilling ammonium nitrate from sports injury cold packs. They buy one to test the theory and it turns out to be the type that doesn’t contain the explosive compound. Their markets genius, Ahmed, tasked with funding their operation loses £12,000 in day trading. Then Ashik  Ali, a wannabe suicide murderer, fumbles the admittedly demanding task of burning Naseer’s bomb diagram leaving it only singed and a key piece of evidence in the prosecution case.

But perhaps such trivial upsets happen in the best run terrorist cells. Maybe we should judge them on the main focus of their activities. After all they spent most of their time talking about the delicious details of their forthcoming martyrdom. According to the Telegraph:

The jihadi gang planned to walk in to crowded, public places shooting indiscriminately before simultaneously detonating their terrible homemade payloads killing hundreds on their wake.

In all the excitement of considering their Technicolor demise a crucial flaw  seems to have escaped Humpty and his numpty pals. You can gun down a couple of score infidel scum. Or you can blow a couple of score of them into mincemeat. But you can’t do both.

If you start shooting them, the cowardly Kuffar will tend to run off in all directions and in no time at all and your glorious explosive martyrdom becomes a rather lonely affair.

Finally, though we should consider their attempts at concealment, because a little bit more effort here could have bought the extra time needed to overcome their teething problems.

The above mug shots illustrate the daunting task facing our security services. How could you possibly tell from just looking at them that they were Islamists?

Above all we must give thanks that our intelligence experts were able to see through their ingenious double bluff. Clearly, their fiendishly subtle ruse was to dress up, talk, and behave exactly like Islamist fanatics to convince the security services that they weren’t. After all, what terrorist would be so stupid as to advertise his occupation, right?. Doubling down on this strategy they decided that a Muslim religious shop would be a “beautiful cover” for their bomb factory. And what better way of diverting attention from your real motives than by taking several “holidays” to terrorist training camps in Pakistan.

The possibility that they thought it unnecessary to make any effort to hide the nature of their activities, as some have suggested, is obviously ridiculous. You’d have to coin a new word to describe just how mind numbingly stupid that was. Nobody could be that dumb.

But, of course, they really are that dumb.

At this point you should spare a thought for any “moderate” Muslims out there who give a damn about what the rest of us think of them. Their mood must be constantly alternating like a bipolar case on steroids.  One moment they’re feeling deep shame at having  to explain away the latest bestial atrocity. And then the next,  they’ve got to somehow cope with acute embarrassment and infidel laughter at the latest example of Jihadist buffoonery.

But all sympathy for Muslim mental problems aside, what do you do about pathetically stupid and incompetent people who make it their life’s work (and often their death’s work) to murder their fellow citizens?

Brendan “O Neill one of the smartest commentators on the British scene thinks that the mooted life sentences on Humpty and his numpties are over doing it. After all, as he points out: “They didn't kill anyone; they didn't acquire weaponry for killing anyone; and they didn't draw up anything like a convincing plan to kill anyone.”

He also says,” If modern Britain feels threatened by such individuals, feels scared of these losers, feels shaken to the core by three Brummies driving around in a car saying "boom, boom, boom", then it needs to have a serious word with itself.”

But, for once, Brendan is missing the point.

Modern Britain should feel threatened by such individuals. Not only because they are a threat, but because of the damage “such individuals” have already been allowed to do to the British way of life.

Freedom of speech, the invaluable basis of all our other freedoms, has already been radically restricted simply to buy off threats from "such individuals”. The result is that it is now a criminal offence to discuss several of the most pressing problems facing modern Britain. So, yes. The British should feel threatened.

And the most pressing of those issues is the advisability of further Islamic immigration to Britain given that so many of our now 3 million strong Muslim population clearly hate the host society and have no intention of assimilating with it.

One obnoxious indication among very many was the 24% of British Muslim respondents to a Channel 4 poll who thought the 7/7 bombings in London “justified”. It seems likely, to say the least, that only the most brazen could give such an offensive answer to a pollster. And that, therefore, the real support for murdering innocent civilians in their own country is substantially higher.

Thanks to mass Muslim immigration the crime of treason is no longer a relic of a more barbarous age.

Humpty and his numpties are sincere in their treasonous intent and must be dealt with accordingly. Their stupidity is no defence under the law. Their treason left unpunished or underpunished would send the wrong signal to the many other frustrated and resentful enemies within our realm.

Humpty and his numpties must be made an example of.

And the judges warning of life sentences to come is a good indication that the authorities might be waking up to the real threat these pathetic losers pose.
