Is sorry good enough?Good old British bobbies. They’ve apologised for breaking into the house of two apparently innocent men and causing ‘hurt’. Whether by this they mean the mental anguish suffered by the gentlemen concerned, or the gaping bullet wound in one of their chests isn’t specified.
But behind this story must lie either incredible cunning by terrorist organisations or a serious lack of judgement by the boys in blue. I have two theories about what was going on behind the scenes.
1. The whole thing is an elaborate set-up by agitators hoping to fuel the perception that Muslims in Britain are being persecuted.
2. Some residents of Forest Gate noticed two Asian men with long beards and made an assumption which the police were all too willing to go along with.
I wish I could say the first seemed more likely but let’s face it, ineptitude is vastly more common than conspiracy.
