British burning books?

Paul Hinds | 22.07.2005 08:50 | Analysis | London

I got stopped to day by a policeman for reading a book called Incendiary on the was into Stockwell tube. Am I a terror suspect?

Lets hope the British dont get around to burning books, it would look awful in the international press. I heard a roumour that they are planning to make certain books illegal, post 7/7, particularly one describing making bomb. It seems in the normal way the law is going to get implemented before it appear in the House of Commons, so hide you copies of "The Anarchist Cookbook". Perhaps putting up some shelves in the basement would be a good idea, since if it is left to the discretion of the British Bobby us "Readers" have got something to worry about.

P.S. Incendiary is not a book about making bombs, its about the aftermath of a terrorist attack in London.
