Nobody mentioned Norway yet?

I think it's in the delivery.

Sarcastic smiley, maybe OK. Dancing banana, definitely too much. Don't wave your banana around so much.

Yes.
It's not the first time I've been taken to task for inappropriate use of a banana... :rolleyes

On a positive note at least the BBC have stopped going on about the phone hacking for a while, shame it took something like this to do it though

BBC website has news about them uncovering evidence that The Sunday Mirror were also involved in the hacking, so papers outside NI group are starting to become entangled.

BBC News - Sunday Mirror phone-hacking claim revealed by Newsnight

Hopefully it'll mean the end of the red tops and we get papers reporting real news, such as what's happened in Norway. If I want gossip and pics of bimbo attention seekers with fit bodies there's the Mail Online, for free.

Back to the real news of the day: I find it hard to believe it took the Norwegian fuzz so long to respond. 84 (at least) dead over several hours. Unusually for these mass shootings they've apprehended the main suspect without him topping himself.

Where's AtW saying people should be allowed guns for 'self defence'? One nutjob is all it takes for a massacre.

At least 87 people are killed in two gun and bomb attacks in Norway by a crazed hunting fan | The Sun |News

A picture is emerging, gleaned from official sources and social media, of a right-wing Christian fundamentalist who may have had an issue with Norway's multi-cultural society.

Death toll now at 92.

Apparently the nutter was shooting people who had tried swimming to the mainland so there may be other bodies yet to be found.

If some good can come out of this, it will be that Islamophobes will recognise that just as this man's crimes do not reflect on Christians as a whole, neither should Muslims and Islam be tarred by the crimes of Islamist terrorists.

Assuming of course that these Islamophobes are not hate-filled cretins.

I think a police officer on Sky said there are 4 people "unaccounted" for

So the likely death toll will be 96.

Although I don't believe, part of me hopes there is a heaven and hell 'cos I know where that bastard would be heading

Yeah, you can just picture the conversation at the Pearly Gates. Same with suicide bombers expecting their 72 virgins to be waiting for them.


That's the problem with being an athiest - you can't be proved right

Of course, this means life is going to be hell for white, blonde, Christian, conservative businessmen: everybody will treat them with fearful suspicion, they'll be constantly hassled by police, trying to board a plane will be a nightmare, and some of them will probably end up being arrested on suspicion and held incommunicado for prolonged periods despite having done nothing wrong.

Right?

In certain parts of the world, yes.
