Telling Porkies

What is happening with this country?

The government purports to be so worried about terrorism, that it want us all to carry identity cards. I don't see how that's going to help prevent terrorism. And I see that some people refused to travel on a plane with other people who were Muslims because said Muslims were acting suspiciously. This is a bit worrying for me, being brown and the kind of person who always looks suspicious in airports. Admittedly the latter is because I have an extra bottle of duty free shoved down the front of my pants but it is rather worrying in the current climate of official paranoia.

The thing is, how would my carrying an identity card allay the suspicions of my fellow passengers in such an event as my being questioned at an airport by the anti-terrorism squad? It wouldn't, would it, unless on the card, in the box for profession it said 'not a terrorist.'

Well

I went for a walk today and pondered this and came up with the answer.

I'll just carry a half eaten pork pie in my pocket.
