The War Against Terror reaches Scotland! No more is it those crusty hippies at Faslane who are the main fear, for now we have Islamofascistnazis. The Turr Threat is suddenly at Critical Level (i.e. expect more). It's most enjoyable that MI5 use hindsight to adjust their future expectations. We expect better from our Oxbridge intelligence toffs- really.

This is personal, because R. arrived back from Seville yesterday at 3.30 pm, and was dramatically evacuated from Glasgow Airport. The Boys had driven from Edinburgh to collect her, and they eventually found her 2 miles down the road. She would have had to walk this distance with Little Blue suitcase and swollen feet from a week of flamenco. Doubtless she will be hopelessly traumatised when we meet later.

Why are those turrists so useless? The only person hurt in yesterday's ramraid was one of the drivers. Were I a terrorist, I would've picked Prestwick, a stop-off for CIA rendition flights. What will Gordie Broon do noo? This is his first, well-timed challenge on policy and response and may give us some idea of the measure of the man.
