Description

One of the many pleasures that derive from living in Wapping and working in the City of London is the walk along the Thames past Tower Bridge and along the Tower Wharf. It is enjoyable at all times of the year and in almost all circumstances. This story begins with a very ordinary man walking that way to his humdrum work on a very ordinary morning: then circumstances change fundamentally. There was a short period in the early 'nineties of the last century when all vehicles entering the wharf were checked, including looking underneath with a mirror. No check was made on pedestrians. When the IRA bombing campaign stopped, so did the scrutiny. Very quickly the beefeaters began to raise the barrier for familiar vehicles to pass without interrogation: Royal Mail, the government documents service, the police and the local authority dustcart among them. When the management of the gates was transferred [appropriately, on April 1] the security firm continued this lax practice: and thus arises this story. At this time of enhanced concern about an uncontrollable 'army' of Muslims piggy-backing on tragic families of refugees, forcing their way into the fracturing European Union, it is well to remember that not all contemporary terror is Islamically motivated. One potential problem that will arise in the coming years is that old-fashioned nihilism could well use the expectation of the public and of the security services that terror attacks are likely to be by Muslims both to cover their own tracks and to sow discord in society. Similarly, one-off demonstrations of the power to shock society at large, by individuals and small groups without religious or political motivation, can be foreseen; and they too could be helped by the mounting concern about Jihadis. db scowles deploys these factors of contemporary life to weave a cautionary tale.
