There was a story in the papers yesterday that terrorist cells in the UK are thinking of setting off a number of nuclear devices in the UK. Now, I've no doubt that there are a quite a few deranged folks out there who would quite like to slaughter thousands of people and be featured on top TV shows like "Crimewatch", but is this "thinking" about doing something akin to the way I often 'think' about what I'd like to do with Naomi Watts and a gallon of KY jelly?? Or when I "think" about turning up at Stoke's training ground for an impromptu trial, before going on to win the FA Cup and get them promoted with 75 goals in the rest of the season??
Put simply: if I put a note on my fridge door which says:
"THINGS TO DO:
Rape the Queen
Blow up Government buildings.
Film myself having sex with a rabid ferrett and email the footage to every 5 year old girl in the country. And Posh Spice."
...am I therefore guilty of "planning" said atrocities???
