If people want to carry on the Trump/Saudi/Iran conversation please do it on the US Politics thread
Lets keep this one more focused on the Manchester bombing
A lot of people have the US Politics thread on ignore.. So lets keep all that discussion over there
Thanks
Can I like this post more than once??
Interesting take on why the concert was a target
I wonder if the bomber will still be in paradise surrounded by virgins given he likely sat through the concert before setting off his bomb. -
Celebrating my birthday in Manchester as news of the Manchester Arena bomb broke. The anger is monumental.
For what reason will this ever stop?
Theresa May says such attacks "will not break us", but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues. Also, "will not break us" means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa. Sadiq Khan says "London is united with Manchester", but he does not condemn Islamic State - who have claimed responsibility for the bomb. The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an "extremist". An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?
In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections.

@antipodean Ha saw that earlier today. Massive statement from a celeb. Had to give him a like on the old FB as going by many of the comments he is now clearly a nazi racist so will be hemorrhaging them now.

The person that posted a picture of him with a Hitler moustache is an absolutely despicable human being.

Damn, it's troubling when news comes out to say a person who has just caused agony to so many people and families was known to authorities.
I'm all for civil liberties...but fuck. If someone is behaving in a very odd manner and doing a whole bunch of things that hardcore twinge the terrorist antenna, then greater good and protection of innocents should always take precedence.
Known to the police is just something that sounds good in the media. In reality the police are keeping quiet tabs on a very large amount of people.

For everyone who has ever pointed at Infowars & gone "sure hes a little nuts, but he says some good stuff"
"bombing a bunch of liberal trendies"
Twelve children under the age of 16 were among the 59 casualties. the first confirmed death was an 8 year old girl.
Maybe next time before you post literally anything from Alex Jones, think that over again....

And this is why I never listen to anything you post on politics. Fake post.
You completely selectively quoted him and were triggered by a few words instead of listening to his point. Did you grab that from a liberal site where they were all criticising him?
I don't even care for him, I have no opninion on him. -
@gollum said in Manchester Arena Explosion:
So he didn't call them liberal trendies? Is that what you are saying?
It is obvious what he is saying.. and you are thin ice with that post Gollum

Amber Rudd has criticised US security services for leaking information relating to the Manchester terror attack with the Home Secretary warning Washington it must not happen again. A number of details including the identity of the attacker and the death toll entered the public domain in the immediate aftermath of the suicide bombing with the information reportedly leaked by security officials in America.
Ms Rudd described those leaks as “irritating” as she said that the UK had told its key security ally to stop releasing information which British police do not want publicly known.

It's a good example of the warped world-view, priorities, and disregards for facts that Alex Jones operates with. This is a pop singer who appeals to a lot of young children and teens, several of which died. It wasn't an attack on the recent concert featuring a speech by Corbyn.

@booboo said in Manchester Arena Explosion:
@gollum who posts anything from Alex Jones on here except to point and laugh?
Red Terror used to post crap from info wars to back up what he was posting. Outside of him I can't think of anyone who doesn't see him as lying shill.

Agree with this . I can't see a problem with pointing out how awful what he said is?

I think she should have bigger things to be 'irritated' about.

Utterly soul destroying act of complete and utter cowardice, by an individual who is forever going to be worshipped by few, but loathed to the very core by the maximum majority.
I'm not going to criticise islam here. This act is nothing but pure proof that this group, and it's followers, soldiers, caliphates, whatever, are the worst people to walk this planet since nazi germany. Push political/religous ideologies .... ok, think your bananas and don't agree or understand, but can have some sort of feeling as to how you make your position. Have children caught in the crossfire - anger about it, but again, accept that will always be part of war/battles.
But deliberately target children? At a concert? I can't comprehend it. I just can't.
I fear world war 3 has started.

Whilst I understand what you mean it is likely that she is "miffed" about those other things. it's a step up you know.
Seriously though, if the information was passed on to US security officials with a request to keep it under wraps and it was leaked, deliberately or otherwise, she has a right to express her annoyance. Probably of more importance than Rudd's irritation though is what this is saying about the US security services. Firstly, can it still be trusted by it's allies after the previous issue? Or secondly is there a deliberate attempt by people within the US security services that wish to paint the current regime untrustworthy? Either way these are big issues.
