I had a beep on my phone that it happened ages ago, I just thought it would be a fire or something.

Dont mention a terror attack for fuck sake!

In all seriousness, I hope nobody is hurt.

Think I'll stick to online shopping.

Probably as much chance of it being gang related as a terrorist attack. Although never rule out some idiot being 'inspired' by what happened in Reading.

Yeah it doesn't really give much information. Doesn't say he was running around with it and threatening. Could have just been a stop and search.

he carried it into the Bull ring before hardly any one was in there, and the shops were just opening, whatever his motivation I think it's safe to say we're not dealing with a criminal mastermind.

Dont assume it was a terrorist attack! You'll have DoD after you!

I'd assume any terrorist worth their salt wouldn't rock up an hour and a half before the shops opened.

He might have wanted to use it to chop up some veg from the flea market?

You've clearly never watched the film four lions than have you?!

I'm not sure that a fictional Chris Morris film about incompetent jihadists is a true reflection on what I said. Still each to their own

Islamic terrorists are fucking useless anyway, wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone thick enough to turn up when they shops aren’t open.

The bag they thought could be a bomb turned out to be a holdall filled with toiletries. Might be a 4 lions level terrorist but it is scanning like a local head the ball.

Yes?

Are you so contrarian you’re now defending the killing ability of Islamic terrorists?

Weird flex but ok.
No you fucking twat. You scoff at these people for being thick, but they still murder people. They still let off bombs and stab people to death. You wouldn't be dismissing them because of lack of intelligence if a member of your family had been butchered.
You obviously think of yourself as very intelligent. You come across as an arrogant prick.
