I've been attacked plenty by fucko EDL skinhead types for looking a little queer but I can happily stroll through pretty much any Muslim/Sikh area of my hometown and not get a speck of bother. It's never been about any violence. The US has shown that if fascists need a dark person to commit a crime to push their agenda, they'll just invent one if something doesn't come up in time (Bowling Green Massacre)

Just got in to work. Extra armed police at departures and border force for departures (which usually doesn't exist). Probably afraid the guy's friends will try to run?

They're stepping up security at lots of venues this week but I'm not hearing anything about additional searches taking place. I suspect they're being cautious in case this successful attack inspires others to try their own plans rather than tracking anyone in particular down.

I would say the same, but border force is a weird addition. All they do is check passports, so it makes it look like they're looking for someone. Could be anything, though.

Good thing it's nothing like that given I changed trains at New Street just this Sunday! Had a lovely samosa from one of the shops, though.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Just to be clear for the Americans in-thread who don't follow UK news at all: the only person in the UK killed by Islamist terrorism between the 2005 bombings in London and the Westminster attack earlier this year was Lee Rigby in 2013. Unless you count Khalid Ahmed who killed himself but no-one else in the Glasgow Airport attack I guess. That's one death over 11 years. Jesus Christ, even I thought it was more than that  It just proves how good the media is at making it feel like we're constantly under attack.

Fados posted:It's probably better to focus on some dumb analogy that a D&D poster made about water pipes and repeat it ad-infinitum like that's what he actually believes happened. An analogy, forums poster Fados, is the use of non-literal figurative language to imply some degree of similarity. Insisting that the suicide bombing could simply have been a burst water pipe(or balloon in front of a microphone causing people to stampede over loose nails, etc.) is not an analogical statement, it is the proffering of an alternative hypothesis as to the cause of the deaths. Anyone still suggesting that this was a government false flag to derail Jeremy's glorious march to victory, or has the thread moved on?

For the most part the local campaigns normally wait for the national campaign to start again because no one wants to be seen to politicise the issue but there's nothing to stop the local campaigns from carrying on.

Given the incompetence of the security services in actually keeping things private, I doubt it. If a sitting PM or Home Sec was found to have known about a possible attack of this magnitude and allowed it to happen, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Death Penalty being discussed. That's still an option in the books somewhere, isn't it?

This is lovely: (read the entire thread) https://twitter.com/DrEm_79/status/866948006498717697 I was watching sky news last night. They had their on site journalist hand his phone to a mother and explain in detail how she and her young daughter were just seconds from being cought in the blast. They then asked her to explain how it made her feel that she and her daughter could have been hit. Real hard hitting journalism there.

As someone who recently was called racist by UK citizens for not even mentioning race in any way, I sympathize with that hesitation. Racists are always the most upset at being called what they are.

In fact racists are often very good at never directly saying racist comments while being very racist indeed. NathanScottPhillips posted:You agree, the police should have left the Islamic child rape circles alone? It's their "culture" or whatever? Is that your opinion. Ah that story. The one where the police got out of not doing anything because they didn't give a poo poo, by saying they wanted to act but the country was too politically correct. Yeah that was great.

The Channel 4 News Manchester reportage is much of the usual tawdry ghoulishness you might expect, but also they had a little interview with the lady who helped shepherd a bunch of scared kids to a Holiday Inn and put the word out to the parents. But for the last day she's been receiving texts and pictures from panicked parents whose kids are missing, injured or dead.  What a crock of poo poo, my sympathies to anyone affected, and as always Nazi fucks get rekt.
