Has Tony Blair been waiting for the right moment to bust the
Finsbury Park Mosque? Blair went on to say that despite this, a terror attack in the UK was
inevitable. The recent
bust of ring making the deadly poison ricin just adds to the set of concerns. Is this timing fortuitous? There's been some
speculation about why this mosque hasn't been raided before but perhaps Blair has been saving it for the right moment, that being shortly before the war on Iraq starts. It would be helpful to Blair to have this sort of thing still in the headlines when the bombs start dropping. It ties in with his warning on the inevitablity of future attacks because that leads directly to "
draining the swamps". It may well be that MI5 will do enough decoding of the data pulled from the mosque rapidly enough to keep churning the headlines until the hammer is dropped.
