Explosion at Manchester Arena

I see they have arrested about 10 people now. No doubt they will all be released without charge. It seems to be the regular pattern.

Do not forget that being arrested is often a formality.

It establishes the legal position of both the "arrestee" and the Police, thus formalising statements, evidence etc

Being arrested does not mean guilty

I think its time we woke up and stopped pretending it will all go away .

.We are at war with these jihadist groups .As in any war people known to have connections with the enemy should not be freely walking our streets.

I feel sorry for genuine peace loving Muslim people in Britain.They are here to make a better life for their families but now are treated with suspicion and even hatred in some cases.

(Allegedly) That would make the General election for Corbin difficult then?

Gives the police chance to take computers and mobiles etc for analysis.

Out in Manchester this afternoon. Lots of folk having a good time and not letting the terrorists win

Our locum Priest today - his cousins daughter, 15, was murdered in the attack, cousin in hospital. Her picture was up and the homily dedicated to her and the others.

I didn't agree with all he said, but remarkably restrained given the sickening level of this act.

the cynic in me tells me that he is an opportunist motivated purely by self-interest, these type of stunts are all over the internet.

Self-publicising certainly but not doing anybody any harm.

Yup. I stopped reading when I got to "Video blogger"

And he seemed to make quite a lot of people happy.

Opportunistic self-publicist or not, it's typical of the uber-cynics here to suggest the worst rather than the best of what he did

 

[nickyboy]

he is a vblogger, he had someone film it, if not an opportunist then why make sure it was filmed, plus I suspect as in most of these videos a fair few of his friends are involved, doing the hugging.

Well I'm not going to argue with you in this thread as it is rather unedifying given the general tone of the comments here.

self publicist or not , if it makes people feel good, in fact scrap that ,....if it makes people think about the sentiment and the message then I think that's a good thing.
