Miracles Will Happen(!)

It is currently around 14:00 on Tuesday March 20th 2012 (20/3/12). If you've been reading my Twitter feed (@Sovereignaka) you will know that with the exception of a narrow window yesterday morning my home Internet connection has been blocked.

The reason why this block has been lifted now is that at around 11:20 today an explosion rocked the central police station in my home district of Croydon. Four people have been injured and the explosion which believed to have been caused by construction work has already been declared to be non-terrorist related. Later today the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will be debating the wording of a non-binding Chairman's statement on Syria. This type of statement require consensus by all parties and therefore cannot be subject to vote or veto.

Through the Croydon explosion Britain is trying to influence the UNSC meeting through the message "They're bombing their own police stations" with the other UNSC members being forced to guess who "they" are in the Syria metaphor.
