Dear Editor, Assalaamu alaikum,

The Norfolk farmer Tony Martin shot a burglar whilst in his property and was given a 5 year custodial sentence, The police on the other hand acting on what we now know to be ‘unintelligent intelligence,’ raid an innocent household, shoot one of the occupants and arrest the other. It takes 250 police officers to do the job and over thirty highly skilled forensic experts a week to search a “terrorist” house, my apologies that should read “terraced”, which my mum could have cleaned inside and out in less than 3hours.

And that's with a bad back, thus saving tax payers over £250,000 in wasted time and costs. To top it off TB (no that's not the illness) but Tony Blair then commends the police for their heroic actions and says ‘Didn't they do well’ I feel that the only two people missing from the action were Bruce Forsyth and Jeremy Beadle himself. If this demonstrates intelligence then I'm happy to be considered stupid.
