Words we all wouldn’t mind being quoted on (Updated)

…if we got to help stop a terrorist attack.
Alex McIlveen, 45, a cab driver, heroically took on one of the terrorists who tried to blow up the passenger terminal at Glasgow airport. The terrorist’s body was in flames when McIlveen delivered his personal opinion in an undeniable fashion. To his surprise, though, the fellow didn’t flinch or go down. His doctor later told him that he’d torn a tendon in his foot.
We salute Mr. McIlveen and wish him a speedy recovery and the best of medical care.
As for the terrorist, hopefully he won’t be able to father any future jihadists from this time on.

Always on Watch has posted a fuller account of the heroics of Alex McIlveen and three other fellow Scots who took on the terrorists as police stood by and did nothing.
Maybe it will fall on the Scots to save Britain from its new Prime Minister.

Fellow blogger Duncan Avatar alerts us to Iowahawk’s recording of Kahlid Ahmed’s
exclusive first person narrative about his very, very, very bad hair day. Iowahawk has outdone himself here!

I’d give him the Golden Toe Award. I don’t think that we can count on the cab drivers in the U.S. to do the same thing, as most of them seem to come from the mideast rather than Scotland.

Duncan – Great find! I’m going to post that link up with the main article.

Woody,

..especially not in Minneapolis, where the airport cabbies would be more likely to form a flying wedge ahead of the jihadists.

Mr. McIlveen needs to be GB’s Prime Minister.

At least he’s proven that he’d kick some good butt around Parliament to get those MPs and Lords in line.
