The kids I'm teaching in high school now don't remember the world before the War on Terror. I think it's had an effect on their worldview.
Apologies for not going in depth for context, but I wouldn't have been surprised if true. Too damn complacent about the issue of terrorism.Learn to do some research and not fall for agenda driven spurious news.
Operation Temperer was planned when Theresa May was in Home Office, designed to be implemented if police had insufficient numbers, while May was busy cutting police numbers.

It still didn't say that people should just get used to terrorism though and it certainly wasn't meant in that context. The way the comments have been twisted to fit certain agendas is disgusting.
Talking of disgusting, American mouthcunt Alex Jones has just recorded a video where he spouts his usual ill-informed, agenda driven, disgusting rhetoric. I wont post it here out of respect and because the twat thrives off publicity. Exactly the same as Katie Hopkins who has been mouthing off on Fox News all day. Fecking disgraceful woman. She's been on Fox a few times this week already, mainly slagging immigrants and especially Muslims. Awful, awful woman.

Yeah, y'all had it bad.Just to talk about the world view I got as a kid (or later)... (it for sure was not better in other times)
Yeah possibly. CNN have been playing the Olivia Campbell story all day today.
Edit. Someone in the comments claims the family have been informed.
Yes because all those extra police with their truncheons would be very useful in that situation. That plan has nothing to do with cutting police numbers.
Sources confirmed the detailed plan had been discussed at the highest level and would only be triggered by the Cobra committee chaired by the Prime Minister if there were two or three terror attacks at the same time in Britain, leaving police struggling to respond.
Will Riches, vice-chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: ‘The bottom line is you can’t reduce 17,000 police officers and expect nothing to change. While police are well-versed at contingency planning, the levels of cuts to officers means that we cannot police events in the same way.’

Honestly best thing to do is ignore them, block them, don't mention them anywhere as they consider traction of any kind as worthwhile. Events like this bring out the best and worst in people and I find it's best to just filter out those who don't make an attempt to understand but simply use these incidents as nothing more than fuel for a narrative that suits.
Absolutely awful, I've spent the day refreshing the same names over and over. At this point anyone still missing I fear the worst.Olivia Campbell has passed away, I've just read in the news. Heart breaking. Rest in peace. Thoughts are with the family.
I don't think that's fair mate. People do have to continue living their lives - if we could do nothing but mourn every time something horrible happened in the world then life wouldn't be too much worth living.I know people should go on with their lives and all and I don't expect them to talk about this the whole time. But I can't feel anything but despise for a colleague who has happily put a profile pic of her in Barcelona with a Desigual bag walking around. Of course 2 other colleagues have commented something like Desigual rules or whatever. Not a worry in their lives or her life.
Tomorrow morning I'll need to hear about it, they'll all happily listen to her beautiful stories. At most she'll say it's terrible what happened in Manchester but in 2nd sentence she'll comment on the big themes, like which chocolate does she like best or which new ice cream is out.
Maybe it's just me but people are so stupid. So so stupid.
I dont think he was trying to advertise it.I'd be very surprised if both United and City haven't made donations. Hopefully, they won't advertise it. Nobody should be making any kind of "political" capital out of such a tragedy.
yeah I guess you're right. That's why I said maybe it's just me or I need to change my job.I don't think that's fair mate.

It's obviously completely fair to feel as you have too.
yeah I guess you're right. That's why I said maybe it's just me or I need to change my job.
I didn't mean people should mourn every day but to show at least little compassion.
When you work with someone for 4,5 years you get to know them. But it doesn't matter. I'm the same, I've been feeling sick the whole day and best not to talk about it.You don't know if they're not in private. I've restricted watching the news too much or discussing this at work, thinking about it is almost too much to handle.

I don't hate anyone, heck I work with hose people. Granted my post was a bit harsh. As I said I didn't mean people should mourn all tragedies all year or all day when something happen. Nor should they put their life on hold.I do think that's a bit ridiculous. Not that you can help how you feel, and I completely understand that this has hit you on an emotional level, but e.g. >200,000 people died last year from malnutrition in Africa, do you spend all year mourning them?
Now in a sense I actually think you are right — We should spend more time thinking about the on-going tragedies of humanity and less thinking about our material purchases. But to spend days putting your life on hold for a terrorist attack is exactly the intended result. So yeah, people are thoughtless but don't start hating people because of their reaction (or lack of) to a terrorist attack.

At this point, I think that all those not found, the pictures of the missing, they have all died.Terrible waste of life.
Have to say, I think the press have managed to limbo under even the lowest bar set for decency from them over this, relatives being hounded, turning up at their houses. It was supposed to change after Dowler and leveson, and nothing has actually been done.

Amber Rudd saying it seems likely the attacker was not working alone.

With the IRA, the Catholic v Protestant presentation was always around. Stronger than the unionist v republican labels most of the time. So perhaps not "Christian terrorists", but that was because people felt the need to distinguish between the strands.
That's true. It's all good I think it's just an overall frustration and a bad phase or a bad week, this tragedy just made it even worse. But you made a good point about Manchester connection.You have a connection to Manchester though. I wouldn't expect people in Croatia to be overly preoccupied with this, assuming your location is correct.
They were called Irish mostly because that was the way to differentiate. And they were never called religious fanatics.
