London Tube Bombing September 15, 2017

[Forty Two]

Sorry to hear about another terrorist attack, Londoners, Englanders, Britainers, and UK-ers. Mayor Khan condemned the "hideous" terrorist attack, and said that the terrorists want to harm us and destroy our way of life.

This nonsense has to stop.

Looks like a bucket exploded and remained intact.

A mate of mine is over there for work at the moment. Saw him at cricket training last weekend and we joked about him getting caught up in a terrorist attack..

The 'terror alert' here in the UK has been increased to 'critical' within the last hour. That means army on the streets to replace police who are then 'freed up' (apparently) to do their stuff.

What ever happened to keep calm and carry on?

I think they are on to something myself. Just intuition.

The special relationship in action, circa 2017: 'Theresa May rebukes Donald Trump over tube bombing tweets'

Theresa May has rebuked Donald Trump for suggesting the people responsible for an explosion on a London tube train were known to the Metropolitan police.

The prime minister expressed her frustration as she spoke for the first time about the “cowardly attack” at Parsons Green underground station in west London, which injured 29 people.

Trump claimed on Twitter that the terrorist attack involved “sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard”, despite no such information having been released publicly by police. He also blamed it on “loser terrorists”, promoted his travel ban and advocated a “proactive and nasty” policy against Islamic State.

Asked about Trump’s potential breach of convention on intelligence sharing, May was unusually critical of the US president, saying: “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation.”

When the president tweeted, no suspect had been identified and no group or individual had claimed responsibility for the blast.

The Met police said the president’s comments regarding Friday morning’s incident were unhelpful and “pure speculation”.

So, if the bomber is one of the 30,000 on the "watch list", Trump wins.
otherwise.......

"If you took care of the 30,000 on the watch list, maybe you wouldn't have missed this one!"

Trump wins again

It'd radicalise the whole set if you took out 30,000. If you gonna do it right you have to follow that Nobel Peace Prize winner in Burma and expel them all.

Radicalism works on both sides...... Today it's tossing a slab of bacon at a Mosque, tomorrow it could be a lot more radicalized "anti-islamists" blowing up mosques.

Your lot is going to get classified as a terrorist organisation soon enough.

They got him. Only copycats to worry about now.
