Jon Ronson on… London Tube Bombing conspiracy nutjobs

June 13, 2007 12:39 am

I heard a very interesting programme this evening called Ron Jonson on…. Although the subject matter is heavyweight, there’s only one way to tackle it, and that’s to use humour.
I’ve posted about 9/11 conspiracies before, but I never realised we had our own homegrown tin-foilers.
And these guys are sick.

A spokesman, David Shayler, even had to resort to the R word - yes, racism, used totally inappropriately. Apparently, to accuse anyone except MI5 of being responsible, is racism. Have a listen to the clip here - Jonson gives mentalist Shayler the only response he could do in a situation like that…

The woman featured, Rachel North, has written a blog for the BBC called Coming together as a city

Here’s the entire programme, with the non-relevant middle section about something else snipped out. It’s about 20 minutes long.

Do listen to it all. Scary stuff.

Thanks for putting that online - I’ve wanted to listen to it for a while having missed the original programme.
