Bomb in Manchester

22 believed to have been killed in a suicide bomb attack at the MEN arena last night. Never good to hear about it, thankfully and probably selfishly, I'm glad it doesn't appear that I knew anyone there  :(

Good article from the other day (before last night).

Agree entirely.

 

I'm sitting watching news 24 and listening to same phoney rhetoric come out of the mouths of Politicians in the UK.

 

'Bravery of the police'

'Brave Hero soldiers'

'Stand together'

'They will never break us'

'Democracy will win'

 

This bullcrap is compounded by empty nonsense on 'twitter' from Trump.

 

etc etc etc etc

 

Political parties (Labour and Conservative are equally to blame) have caused and created a climate for these atrocities we see.  From arms dealing to secret info through to failed security (MI5???) all they have done is created hate, division, opponents and an enemy.

 

No doubt they will be dropping bombs on Syria next week, killing people like they did in Libya, Afganistan, Iraq and tag those who did it 'heroes'.

 

They don't want to admit the truth - failed foreign policy.  But some of us humble footy bods on here can see it and feel the truth.  We are clever enough to see it but they (politicians) can't admit it.

 

One of the reasons why I won't be voting for anyone Thursday - politicians are idiots.  They will lead us to oblivion.

To be fair though Corbyn has been the only one who has attempted to hit the nail on the head (and was roundly criticised by the right wing press).

 

Difficult to see how more police on the streets can stop these sorts of things. It's way more complex. Pretty shocking attack though.

Yes, he is the only one who has came out and hinted at it.  Respect for that but what happened to him - he got accused of being monsterous by Boris whatever his name is for saying it.

 

Of course its complex - it not a case of black and white given the religious stuff involved.  Who would defend these islamic nutcases - they are morons.

 

But UK politicians have created a climate for these nutters - just created a climate of division and an enemy.  Wasting millions and millions on needless wars.

 

I'm not anti-war as sometimes they are required but certainly very anti all that crappy wars in middle east.  Interfering in political, ethnic and religious stuff we should have kept out that has led to all stuff going on.

Been watching this story for more than 20 years. Innocent people get killed - government announces new legislation - tighter control of the internet required - more task forces / special task forces etc etc - repeat - repeat. This will never end as long as we're alive.
