Ah good to see some defences at least. Sad those defences are needed against our fellow citizens though.

Them defences would not stop a lorry like that of tonight, especially if it came at speed.

Those barriers did not protect me from going arse over tit when I slipped with full laptop bag on a bratwurst some fooker had dropped on the floor at Brum. Germ. Mark. a year or two back.

Was on my way to IBM Warwick for a DR-fest!

I asked for Käsewurst and got a bratwurst with shredded cheese spinkled on it, minging.

Obviously, the person who dropped the bratwurst was just a sissy....

I'm not sure if the actual bombers tricked into giving up their lives aren't among the victims. They're just pawns.

Good of you to use the technical term too.

Waiting for the usual apologists to appear....

I won't waste my time stating the bleedin obvious here.

I hear Merkel shrugged her shoulders and carried on.

Merkel is toast, come the German elections next year. The voters will not forgive her for letting these people into Germany with no questions asked. Of course we have no idea whether the people who did this were immigrants, but by then it won't matter. The voters won't know or care less, she'll get the blame.

Maybe it was the Scottish bin wagon driver on holiday?
