General Chat

I suppose there's no winning in the election aspect...if you don't campaign you're using it and if you do you're trying to make gains from it.

I wouldn't expect any official account until all investigations have been completed.

Also that snake Corbyn who said he was suspending the election campaign today has just used last night's tragedy to make political capital for himself.

My heart goes out to the victims and their Families

Has there been an 'official' account?
There's a lot of media coverage and supposition by them.
An hour ago, even the Daily Telegraph had a headline 'Everything we know' - which is nowhere near an official account.

Why should the police release what they know to the general public - or even the USA?
Trump managed to name the terrorist in Manchester when he wasn't meant to, which gave anyone associated with the plot a chance to scarper.

I'd rather the police force had a chance to get to the bottom of it - and this may take a time, due to severely depleted numbers, after the previous Home Secretary thought it would be a good idea to 'save money' by getting rid of thousands of experienced police officers.

"The official account of events so far is full of holes.
The account so far of the Manchester bombing is little better.

The defeat of the IRA became inevitable when the government decided to tell the truth even if the Army, DUP and RUC didn't like it.

Some things never change."


Full of holes or trying to work out the facts before reporting it??

The IRA weren't defeated they were given get out of jail free cards in most cases.

We all know, as in most if not all religions, that the vast majority of followers are nice normal law abiding people. These people are using their faith as an excuse. That said the rest of the faith HAS to step up and tell on anyone they have concerns with. It's no good days later saying "now you mention it they were a little strange theses past few weeks."

"London Bridge Attack: Muslim Council of Britain Response

Harun Khan, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain has issued the following statement after the terrorist incident in London:

“I am appalled and angered by the terrorist attacks at London Bridge and Borough Market, in my home city. These acts of violence were truly shocking and I condemn them in the strongest terms.

Muslims everywhere are outraged and disgusted at these cowards who once again have destroyed the lives of our fellow Britons. That this should happen in this month of Ramadan, when many Muslims were praying and fasting only goes to show that these people respect neither life nor faith.

My prayers are with the victims and all those affected. I commend the work of our emergency services working hard to keep us safe and cope with the ensuing carnage. As ever we urge everyone to assist the authorities so that these criminals can be apprehended and brought to justice.”

Remember what Enoch Powell said all those years ago in his speech I was only 13 when he made tha but I remember it and it looks like it's coming true

I feel very sorry for law abiding Muslims - but I do think they need to have louder voices in condemning these cowards

So sad.
My sincere condolences to the families of the victims.

When you look at what is happening it is heart breaking innocent people are being murdered injured .our government need to keep soldiers on the street with the police .they announce standing down soldiers & then another attack happens within days of Manchester atrocity .these so called terrorist are not just targeting White people doesn't matter colour or greed you are .if in the wrong place you could be murdered or maimed for life .we need to be vigilant .but how do we know when they will strike again we have brain washed fanatics on our streets God Help us All Barbra .

Intern those ‘known to the police’?

AnnCardiff,

The Government are too bloody soft with them and prisoners.

We should be more like Canada,Australia and USA.

Instead of letting Illegals and prisoners to go on bail if found they should keep
them in detention centres.

if these ruthless scumbag maniacs don't like our way of life the answer is simple - bugger off!!!

Such sad sad times <3

My heart goes out to all those and family members
Lost or hurt in such horrific times as in London last night..

..

Awful news the police have shot the men. My thoughts go out to the family's who have lots someone and to the injured. Big respect to the police but I think it's time all our police were armed it would not bother me at all I have got to go down to St Pancras this Friday it will be interesting to see if there is extra police there <3

Awful news again. My heart goes out to all. Just hope all the injured will be ok. Big respect for the services for their very quick response <3

Why poor London? Thoughts and prayers and with those who have been affected by these terrible event.s

Terrible atrocities again, heartbreaking that lives will have been lost or changed due to trying to live life normally but being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hope Sheffield will be safe, Joy

Police and other sevices in the thick of it, putting their lives on the line too yet the government cuts funding and now Police officers have to have a degree to join up ! Wrong priorities methinks!
