A disregard for Human Rights evolving into a general societal downgrading of the right to life I suppose. Something like that.
We made Saudi Arabia effectively, we're never gonna abandon them despite all the shite they pull.
Please talk about the Manchester bomb and victims.
There are other threads for all the religion stuff.

Yeah that's the worst part. They're financing isil and have the same ideology. One are allies the other is an organization that needs to be wiped of the Earth.
Liam Gallagher has announced that he will play a solo concert next Tuesday at Manchester's O2 Ritz and the proceeds will go to the MEN fundraising appeal.

So, now 21 of the 22 who died have been named and we have tributes from those who loved them. Sadly, many of those whose photos appeared on the news the day after the incident are among the dead.

There have been some very generous donations but I'm always most impressed when people donate their time. Well done Liam.
breaking news is that the vile Katie Hopkins has been sacked for her comments about the bomb.
GOOD ! she is just nasty and vile, hopefully nobody will employ her ever again in the media.

Effective immediately. Good.
What did she say?
What a great start to the day! Hopefully that other ahole has seen his freelance work dry up.
Exactly. People understandably get so hung up about the Saudis they forget the role of the Brotherhood and Qutb, which IMO has played the bigger role in producing the violence.
What did she say?
Stupid woman. I'm glad she said it though cause now she's out of a job.
It's the popular and lazy argument lately, i think we've discussed it on here before though.
Only with LBC, and given she said worse before they hired her, I'd be asking what they thought they were getting in the first place.
She still writes for the mail.
Been into town for the first time since Monday. The mood is different, much quieter than it would normally be on a hot, sunny day like today, although there are still many people around and it's almost as busy as usual. It's just that people are talking in more hushed tones. They are also looking around themselves and at others more thoughtfully, they aren't quite as burried in their smartphones.
There was some odd behaviour in a different way that I noticed though - people taking smiley selfies in front of the flowers and tributes in St Anne's Square. It's not a fecking tourist attraction.

Those kind of people are just morons and no doubt they'll be putting those selfies on Facebook where they'll get lots of likes.
Police apparently making immense progress in hunt for terrorist network.

One of the main reasons I don't do social networks. Seen photos of people doing the same at the Holocaust Memorial. Clearly not a thought in their heads besides themselves.
How it started:
To this:
To this:
3 more arrests made in connection with the attack. Police say they have a large part of network.
Anyone who was 'involved' (in a criminal manner) with the bomber must know there's a reasonable chance that the police will come for them at some point so why haven't they fled abroad or gone into hiding? Seems daft to sit there and wait to be arrested.

Missed this yesterday as I was on a flight but really ought to make the security services look bad if they missed the boat on this. Fair play to the Mosque and the Imam for banning him and reporting his extremist views.

Especially good going considering the endless intelligence leaks.

Go drunk, home. You're Dante.So msny po po ouir in manchester tonight. It feltin intimidating but alsot sage at the same tiame
Believe me they aren't sitting waiting to be arrested. They are screwed and have no escape.
The violence was created in Israel/Palestine. The ideology was created in Egypt.
Sorry. I meant to say that there were a lot of police officers out in Manchester last night. I have a lot of respect for them making us feel safe. Life needs to go on.
In what sense?
There might be various reasons, all of them good I think :
they're overconfident they won't be found
they're too dim
they haven't created a sophisticated infrastructure of safe houses to escape to, which implies they lack support in their community and the community is not afraid to say no, or that they don't have the funds
also suggests they don't have the material to go for the "heroic resistance and death" way

I read this yesterday. It seem the local Muslim community has done everything they can bar arresting him themselves.
Now an evacuation of properties around another property underway in Moss Side.
