MI5 have warned Britain’s cash-strapped National Health Services that dozens of ambulances–along with old police cars and fire engines past their sell-by date–are being snapped up by al-Qaeda operatives in the United Kingdom to mount suicide bomb attacks.So serious is the problem that counter-terrorism officials at the Home Office have written to eBay, the Internet auctioneer, asking them to stop selling emergency service vehicles, equipment and uniforms.
But eBay has insisted it can only halt the sales if a new law is passed by Parliament. That could take many months to enact.
Oh, isn't that nice? eBay wants to continue selling ambulances, fire trucks and police cruisers to Al Qaeda! Why don't they sell them bombs, too, while they're at it?
What the hell is the matter with eBay? Are they afraid Al Qaeda will sue them for Islamophobic discrimination?
Are they saying they can't decide what to allow and disallow to be sold online? Surely if it's stuff that is likely to be used to commit mass murder by Al Qaeda, they can justify discontinuing allowing such equipment to be sold! Just do it, for feck's sake!
