revising the time he got off the No 26 bus

"(Police)said that Omar, 24, was a Somali who had lived in the UK since 1992, and Ibrahim, 27, also known as Muktar Mohamed Said, was from Eritrea. Police now believe that he was also trying to kill himself after revising the time he got off the No 26 bus in Shoreditch, east London." (link)
isnt that fucking odd.

one thing ive found is that some of the weirdest stories can be found in really badly written sentences and paragraphs. its almost as though the sentences are intentionally put together badly to obscure the point - which, to me, points to complicty. its hard to accidentally fuck things up so badly .

as far as i can ascertain, the last part of the paragraph says that the police have changed their mind about what time busbober#2 got off the bus.

as you know, ive been on the issue about the timing of the busbomber for a week. here and here and here and then they ried to fluch the details down the memory hole which i mentioned here and here and some other places as well. so the idea that theyve 'revised the time he got off the bus' is very interesting to me, and most funny. i wonder if it has anything to do with the pol.co.uk traffic ive been receiving. facts are now fungible.

of course, they didnt tell us why they changed the time, or how, or what to. and ive only been able to find this one article (in a few different places, which happens to mention it in passing.)

as i understand it, there are four cctvs on each bus - top deck, bottom deck, entry and exit - and each camera has timestamps. we have been specifically told for a week that busbomer got off the bus at 1306. they cant simply 'revise' their fucking story cos the facts dont fit. they arent entitled to their own facts. i forbid it!

i assume that they cant change the story that the bomb 'exploded' at 1330, and given the way the story has mutated the last couple of days, ill assume that they are 'revising' the time of his alighting till after 13.30. that would help them do away with two pesky problems - a) the fact that they havent apparently discovered any timing device b) they can still paint him as a suicider.

of course, it will also mean that they have some new problems - the greatest problem being trying to explain why he hung out on the bus for at least 37 minutes - remember, at this time, unless he has heard from his 3 buddies, he probably presumes that another 3 trains have exploded and the transport network will be brought to a standstill at any moment.

and of course, they'll also have to explain why they originally said he got off at 13.06 - and they'll have to provide proof that he got off at some other time.

what a web we weave...
