// Sorry for sensationalising.//

Gilding the lily, eh?

[Smowball]

Good grief! Those innocent kids going to a concert. Devastating.

[trt]

Horrible people who did this, especially targeting young teens, who they know would be there.

I do get angry though with the media, asking upset witnesses stupid questions, on the tv.
How do you feel going to your first concert, with your daughter now?
Did you see many dead bodies?
Would you say you are lucky to be alive?
Were your children upset?

Un-necessary questions to people in shock imo.

[Smowball]

Totally agree. People were coming out with answers that made no sense, like you say they were in complete shock. Have been watching relatives posting photos on social media looking for kids n teenagers. Just despicable.

Well I hope this journalist gets his comeuppance, for his Twitter, sick joke!

Just read it - how sick can you get! Hope he gets fired!

[Eleena]

Awful news.

[Smowball]

Morning Eleena. I woke up to get a headache tablet and happened to check news. Now I just can't even think of going back to bed. Those poor poor kids: (

[Eleena]

Hi Smow. Yes it's sickening.

[Smowball]

And Mr Smow wonders why I've got paranoid about going out sometimes - we live in London! Nowhere is safe and clearly not even children now.

CNN (surprisingly) has a panel discussing the issue with some sense or realism. A Brit expert and a US one actually discussing the number of "possibles" and the cost of policing them.


Westminster guy with the truck was at one time on a list, wasn't he?

A random number: each "possible" needs nine policemen to monitor himfeffectively. The guys who decapitated the French priest were on that list and were on parole.

[vetuste_ennemi]

But keep calm and carry on.

[Smowball]

Manchester was 2 months apparently to the day of the Westminster attack? Both 22nd?

Why do Pakistanis always pick on young girls? Just like the multiple rape cases in places like Rotherham

[Smowball]

What's that got to do with th Manchester bombing??

[Lynn_M]

Because Ariana Grande's audience mostly comprises of young girls. And the terrorists would have known this

[Smowball]

Think your'e looking at this wrong tbh

[Cloverjo]

And what do Pakistanis have to do with it? We don't know the nationalities of the perpetrators.
