TBF, i think they'd been rounded up and locked away!

(Genuinely sorry for interrupting your interesting discussion on sectarian politics and related violence, but this was on my mind overnight)

Anyone else find it funny how no attempts are being made by the media to name the attacker? They fucking would if it was regarded as terrorism. And the decision to shoot him may well have been taken because the default assumption was he was a terrorist. I'd have thought a Taser would be just as...

Funny how the seemingly random slaying of three people (who may or may not have been known to the suspect, i don't know) gets a lot of press, unlike the tragic mowing-down and killing of three members of the same family by someone who was pissed at the wheel in Cumbria earlier this week.

GASP - he said it!

Anyone seen that "mass brawl" last night on the beach at Ogmore, in South Wales? Looked like town (or even football) rivalry, but it could have been travellers from the look of a lot of them.

According to reports, it has happened in the Park Inn (a delightful chain of hotels just a few notches down from Travelodge), which is currently used to house large numbers of asylum seekers. I am not making ANY inference as to the underlying or immediate causes of the incident, just stating...

I'm not sure i understand what that means, FP! I consider myself intelligent, but only in science, so politics and philosophy are a bit alien to me. Could you explain? We used to just say "Bloody Thatcher" - is that pretty much it??

I'm sure the people of Glasgow will be mightily calmed by this tweet ...

At risk of opening up old wounds, there are many on Twitter suggesting they know it's a terrorist attack. No word either way from anyone in authority. Witness reports of "ambulance crews in hazmat suits", which is probably anti-Covid PPE, in all likelihood.

Honestly, you can't even give a girl a compliment without being called a nonce or a "serious stalker"?

But justified! Needs to be rigid plastic though!

If he didn't want her in the SC, why did he appoint her and not Reeves in the first place?

The Labour Party are suffering from an over-reaction to the theory that any criticism of the Israeli state or its policies (e.g. in its atrocious actions towards Palestine, in contravention of myriad UN Security Council resolutions) is anti-Semitic. It isn't - it's anti-Israeli. I have nothing...

That's what i'd do anyway - i wouldn't want to think i was celebrating American Independence Day - we lost, remember! :cigar:

My understanding is that if you're only drinking, it's outdoors only, but that have been something anecdotal i heard on the radio about the way some places are deciding to operate. I'm afraid it might turn out to be a nightmare. I'd love to be able to develop some sort of software which was able...

so-called "Ryan Haynes"

When you say he was on MI5's radar, he was brought to the attention of the security services last year because of a rumour about him investigating going to Syria (or Libya, depending on which version you read). MI5 reportedly investigated the report and decided there was no further action...

TVP said in the early stages of the investigation that they were being assisted by Counter-Terrorism South-East, although they didn't (at that stage) believe it to be terror-related. I assume that evidence they gathered (shortly after Matt Hancock made himself look a bit foolish on telly by...

He'll get sent to the extremist unit at HMP Long Lartin, near Evesham, where he can spend his time radicalising other innocents. Personally, i don't think it is particularly helpful pinning a label on something like this as being "terrorism". It doesn't make any difference to the atrocity of the...
