Guardian - Exeter Blast : Man arrested

Just in time for the debate on the 42 day limit, an attempted suicide bombing in Exeter. No, I don't think it was a Govt conspiracy, just some Islamists who know how to turn the screw to best effect. After all, Exeter isn't your category A target, so I think they were just working within the limitations of their patsy.

A man arrested in connection with a city centre explosion was tonight named by police as 22-year-old Nicky Reilly - who police believe had adopted the Islamic faith.

He suffered lacerations to his eye and some facial burning after a device he had on him partially exploded.

Another device found in the vicinity of the restaurant did not explode

I still see no reason for the extension, beyond letting the bruises go down.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

It's just security brinksmanship. "We can lock 'em up for 42 days". "We'll call you and raise you to 60."

amazingly, the tories have recognised it's a silly game and are sticking at 28 and making Labour look stupid. They're actually succeeding in saying that Labour are the pissy wetting themselves party who can do nothing except shout how tough they are cos they haven't got a clue what else to do.

Even if they pass 42 days it'll be an incredible own goal, not of 10p tax band proportions, but pretty close. Even with this silly twerp trying to blow himself up, people are just so over being scared.
