From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-12-18:

"Perhaps London realizes it is not at war this time. British aces are not shooting German bombers out of the sky, and no armies threaten the homeland. Rage has led some young men to break the law, and the police can handle them - as they did the ira - until a political solution presents itself. And they can do it without identity cards, unaccountable shoot-to-kill operations, lengthy detentions that the courts are not told about, and other violations of what Englishmen used to regard as fundamental rights. What does Britain - or the United States, for that matter - promise for its people after Victory over Terror? When VT-Day comes, will we pop champagne and take back the streets?" -- Charles Glass, journalist, in his article The Last of England.
