I Told You This Would Get Hot.

In The last 24-36 hours have been two major incidents in the UK.

Firstly on Saturday night there was a fire in in one of the pump rooms at the infamous Kingsnorth Power Station. Fifteen fire engines and five specialist units attended the blaze which was extinguished after several hours. As a result the Kingsnorth power station and it's capacity to provide power to 1.5million homes in Kent has been shut down and taken off the National Power Grid. On Sunday morning a suspected gas explosion destroyed a building in Shrewsbury. The incident left twelve people injured, two seriously including a woman who had to be airlifted to the burns unit a Selly Oak hospital which famously treats British military personnel wounded in Afghanistan.

Although the jury's still out on the Shrewsbury explosion which could possibly be just an accident of which the most has been made the Kingsnorth fire was most certainly a desperate cry for attention that was staged by the British security services. The idea is that over the next couple of days and weeks they will be spun as examples of American retaliation for the Detroit bomb plot. That is of course nonsense because if they were an American retaliation we wouldn't be talking about survivors.

Also I've decided that for some funny reason I won't be enjoying Celebrity Big Brother this year even if it is obvious that the lesbian heavy production team have got a bet going on.
