There is a point of a vigil or no one would attend,it may well bring comfort/support to some people...

[Lynn_M]

@Baldric: "The Mayor, Andy Burnham, (is) calling for people to join a Vigil in Albert Square tonight"

Fat lot of good that will do. I'll bet he's got a Union Jack filter on his Facebook avatar, too. He needs to lead a call for the cessation of immigration, instead of the usual glib platitudes

[Kromovaracun]

So we should stop importing talent from Latin America and everywhere else because somebody (very likely a radical Muslim) detonated a bomb in Manchester?

I'm a bit too thick to get my head around that one, I'm afraid.

[-SharonA-]

Just catching up. What gets me most voices say 'We will not be defeated' But we are with 22 dead and more injured, this is a great defeat. We cannot even level this!!!

[naomi24]

krom, not thick - just deliberately awkward.

[Kromovaracun]

That's what "stop all immigration" means, naomi.

Ay? What has "Latin America" got to do with it? Unless it was a coffee bomb filled with Brazil nuts. Or Kromo "knows" someone from South America, and just felt the need to inject it into the thread?

[naomi24]

You know full well what she means.

[naomi24]

^That was to krom.

[Kromovaracun]

"Cessation of immigration"

Cessation - the process of ending or being brought to an end.
Immigration - the action of moving to a foreign country.

Sorry, but that's a dumb suggestion. It's akin to setting fire to a rug in order to remove a stain.

//We cannot even level this!!! //

Ohh we could Sharon, we could. The danger is that unless we are satisfied with the steps taken by our "Liberalised" peace luvvin leaders we will. Then there will be real trouble.

[ladybirder]

ISIS has claimed responsibility according to lunchtime news and it is someone from here who did it.

[Baldric]

Lynn, since you linked your last comment to my name, I feel I must ask,
Do I detect just a tiny hint of Racism in your posts?

[Togo]

Bet he wasn't "radicalised" at Sunday School though Lady. Or taught how to make a bomb at tech. college.

[Baldric]

PS, the way the complete first line of my post is worded (not just the part you chose to use) does not need 'is' inserted into it.

[Kromovaracun]

Almost certainly not Togo.

Everyone involved in radicalising this person needs to be held to account.

There were much less crime before mass immigration, in fact I can't ever remember such horrific crimes as this one before vast numbers of Islamic followers came to this country.

[-SharonA-]

Agree with Kromo @ 13:18. Include the family too!!!!!

[Islay]

Forgotten the 70's 80's and early 90's and the IRA and UDA then AOG?

that old chestnut again and what has the IRA got to do with mass immigration?

While I don't condone what they did, at least they at most warned when they had planted a bomb, and their victims where mostly politicians, the military or their political opponents.
