Explosion in Manchester

[original PM]

Speculation is your forté is it not? Had this happened in the EU somewhere you'd be the first to condemn policy of Germany or Sweden. Look forward to reading about your condemnation of UK foreign policy.

Is this what you want or is the Telegraph a hate filled rag as well?

How horrific those poor people.


The security services have a good record.

however its impossible to stop determined terrorists.

You just need to remember the words of JFK

Protecting the President - TIME

"If anyone wants to do it, no amount of protection is enough. All a man needs is a willingness to trade his life for mine." So observed President John F.Kennedy less than a month before his words came tragically true.

And this is the best protected person in the world.

We disagree on many things - but there will always be more that unites us than divides us - nice touch from our EU friends.

Anyone found doing this sort of thing deserves shooting.

I've read stories in the past of police tracing people who post dodgy stuff on twitter etc. Why can't we trace this? Get around there and arrest them.

Bastard Radio 4. I was alright listening to the politicians repeating the usual platitudes about "thoughts and prayers" but when they started interviewing some of those at the scene and the parents (damn you, Imran from Leeds. That was so moving) had me in bits.

Yep - I had something in my eye about that time too...

... When was the last time the "community" or religious group dobbed in one of their members

If you'd been paying attention you'd know that some of the attacks were foiled precisely because the security services had intelligence supplied to them by the community.

So, supporters (no indication of their location) of an organisation that encourages this kind of attack are celebrating the attack. Thanks for that information.

If they're in the UK, then they will be traced and arrested. Read the article carefully. Any hint that they're UK based?

Really had just about enough of this planet

Good will prevail.

Pretty sure they are tracking all of them they can, the more that break cover the better.

I'm sure they are. Imagine they're overrun following individuals of interest.
