This is my idea! I was dribbling on about it the other day. There's a commitee that convenes monthly at County Hall. They decided it was necessary. Now that house prices are getting less absurd. That and more taxes on petrol and officially pegging £:$ @ 1:1.
quote: Last week's BBC drama about a dirty bomb in London has helped keep everyone terrified about terrorism.
But a forthcoming documentary shows that dirty bombs are actually a fantasy. The Americans should know: the CIA tried for years to make one, before realising that blowing up radioactive material won't hurt anyone. Radioactive dust disperses so quickly you'd need to be exposed to it for about a year before any real damage occurred.
The documentary, The Power Of Nightmares, shows how politicians are using fake stories like the dirty bomb to keep people scared, and themselves in power. It also demonstrates that the claim that Al-Qaeda is a global, hidden, terror network is also a myth.
So what channel is this BBC-debunking documentary showing on? Er, BBC2.
