Doing a dummy run or doing the actual deed is just the same in my eyes. Duped? No way. If they were doing a dummy run they knew that someone else would be doing the actual bombings soon enough. Just as guity. No excuses. Whatever reason the return tickets and short term carp parking was bought for was for a reason believe me. We wouldn’t know Mrs T as we are not terrorists.
The only thing that is sad about this is that most of the suicide runners are brainwashed into doing. I have my views on that but will not say, as I will be lynched for being unsympathetic :lol:

I dont condone any of the actions from 7/11 whether they thought it was a dummy run or the real thing, I agree with you on that, but we are entitled to know the truth.

All I am saying is that there are some inconsistency’s and I would like to know why that is? Its easy to assume things but I prefer all questions answered before I make a final decision on things.

To me, knowing Beeston in Leeds the area these young men came from it does not surprise me at all they were recruited to participate…. but what level of participation?.. did they realise fully what was going to happen and the consequences… possibly they did, still I would like more answers. What happened was evil, innocent people were killed and I make no excuses for terrorists of any persuasion.

ok, here goes:

starter: Asparagus (3-4 per person) topped with a poached egg, some melted butter and parmesan and black pepper.

main course: Beef in beer – Deilia Smith (can make before, and always tastes better when re-heated), with mash or baked potatoes, red cabbage and green beans.

pudding: peeled and halved grapes w. fromage frais and whipped cream mixed altogether, topped with loads of demerara sugar, in a bowl and put in fridge about 3hrs beforehand – made before too. Looks really pretty.

This is a fail-safe menu I do a lot – this is because all of it, bar the starter can be cooked well in advance. Tis only the starter that needs to be cooked, whilst they having drinkie poos!

Over to you……………..I have copied the last menu tho, gonna give that a bash :lol:

Sounds lovely anc…. peeling grapes? is there a knack to that :lol: I like the idea that most of it can be done before… thank you

Yes. I have no reason not to. Like I have no reason to disbelieve the IRA were responsible for many deaths in a sustained bombing campaign lasting over 20 years.

And plenty of reason to believe ? Based on what ? The official narrative ?

Actually gaz I questioned things about 7/11 I had some doubts that all the guys realised they were going to their deaths I think at least two of them were duped into doing it.

Have a feeling they thought they were doing a dummy run for others to actually do the deed, some things just didnt add up. Only a couple of weeks before the bombings one of them had been to a university open day and was excited about the prospect of attending? Why did they buy return tickets from Leeds to London? Why when they left their car in Luton did they buy a parking ticket for a few hours? there are lots of little things like that makes you wonder.

There is no doubt though that it was them, even the wives admit it was and some left videos to confirm it. Such a waste of young lives, and needless killings, I mean what has it achieved? only hatred.. so sad all round.
