Haymarket car bomb

caddymanI see the police have disabled a car bomb, or potential car bomb in the West End of London, on Haymarket. No-one seems quite sure what it was at the moment, nor how big. The question is: what is there in Haymarket that would make someone want to blow the place up? There are a couple of theatres and a McDonald’s as far as I can recall: I see that David Suchet is playing Poirot at the Theatre Royal, and that The Phantom of the Opera is on at Her Majesty’s. I don’t know what’s playing at the Comedy Store.
Admittedly there are night clubs in the area, but I seem to recall that Haymarket is relatively quiet for all its proximity to the debaucheries of the West End.
No-one knows, either, who is behind it, or at least no-one is saying, according to the BBC. Police only know because an eyewitness tipped them off after the car had been driven erratically down the street and crashed into a bin or a bollard, before the driver legged it. Presumably the driver was pissed or out of his head on some narcotic or other. Well, if he was a so-called Islamist that must surely be a path to paradise; get pissed or doped up and fluff your mission.
I tell you, the bastards we get these days are not a patch on the bastards we used to get.
No-one has standards any more.
