F.B.I Federal Bungling Idiots ?

Are there any Yanks out There associated with or a member of this bunch of idiots. As I am allways looking for an easy victory[:D].

In an effort to reopen hostilities between the American colonies and Great Britain members of this clandestine organization seized the Honorable Derek Bond Esquire a 72 year old Grandfather and Rotarian and subject of Her Royal Highness Queen Elisabeth II.While This Gentleman was on a wine tasting tor of the Cape Colony.
He was they claimed some sort of superior Highwayman guilty of alchemy and witchcraft.
IT was Only when the evil Derek Svkes was apprehended in the Americas. That Mr Bond was cast out from the foul dungeon in witch he had been incarcerated for 30 days.
Sykes had hoodwinked Americans by committing his crimes in the name of the hapless Bond.
It is Claimed These Yanky inquisitors where prepared to put more faith in the utterings of of their Highwayman than in good sense and the rights of honest English men.

The French are obviously at the root of this affair the cunning devils have no doubt engineered this shocking and brutal trespass against an innocent man of such a venerable age. To rekindle old animosity in this time of peril.

Despite this Her Majesty Is dispatching all able bodyed men to assist our young American cousins in the war that looms over us.

It is to be hoped that if we must go to war will not be relying on these same buffoons for our Intelligence.

ID THEFT SUSPECT IN COURT



The real suspect in a multi-million dollar telemarketing scam has appeared in court - ending the ordeal of UK pensioner Derek Bond.

Alleged conman Derek Sykes confirmed his identity at a hearing in Las Vegas.


He will now face trial in Texas for his alleged involvement in a fraud which cost hundreds of vulnerable people their savings.

His detention came after 72-year-old Mr Bond spent three weeks languishing in a South African jail because the FBI had "the wrong man".

Agents from the bureau had ordered his arrest while he was on holiday there.

US authorities allege the real fugitive had "stolen" his identity, including his name and passport number.

Now Mr Bond, from Bristol, is considering legal action against the FBI.

Apology

He was forced to sleep on a concrete floor and said he was not even asked his name until he had been locked up for 10 days.

"I think they owe me a great deal more than an apology," he said.

US Attorney's office spokesman John Lewis admitted: "We had the wrong man."

Two men have already been jailed as part of the investigation into the marketing scam which cost more than 200 people almost £2m in the mid 1990s.

Sykes denies one count of conspiracy, four counts of wire fraud and 17 counts of transporting stolen property.

Mr Bond is expected to return to the UK in the next few days.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- An 80-year-old British pensioner has been called up by the Ministry of Defence for possible action in Iraq, the Sun newspaper reported on Thursday.

The call-up papers came in an official government envelope and ordered Steer to report to a training camp.

"I'm a bit past my prime," the Sun quoted him as saying. "It's too high-tech today. I'm used to rifles and machine guns, not missiles."
