Well At Least The 'elite' Are Safer, Now What Abut The Rest Of Us?

[youngmafbog]

Surely it is places like shopping centres and football grounds, places with high volumes of people they will target? Buck house is already well gaurded as it the houses of parliament.

Yes, they want to die but I doubt any of them want to go on their own.

Do they get their 70 virgins if the mission fails and the Police shoot them (Serious question)?

[Baldric]

Not sure tbh, my knowledge of virgins is limited.

Is this like the Vikings believing that the guaranteed way to enter the afterlife was to go , fighting with a sword in your hand ?

We don't know whether the security services have intel which has suggested that these places are to be targeted.

Also, in terms of shopping centres - there are over 400 in the United Kingdom:

There are 131 football grounds:

There is very little chance the the security services and police can ramp up their presence in all of these places.

Even if you discount those in far flung areas, you would still have other public places to consider, such as cinemas, hospitals, schools, concert venues, train stations, bus stations, tube stations, race courses, cricket grounds, rugby stadiums, high streets, universities etc.

No chance for us then, just as well they are looking after the 'elite'

I saw Fallon, or Sir Michael Fallon, as he is now known, being interviewed by Jon Snow last night on Ch4 News.

He was asked if the fact that there are now 20,000 less Police Officers now, than there were in 2010, made Britain safer after this recent bomb outrage. Fallon bumbled his way through the interview, without really responding to the question.

ummmm I dont think the av bomber sees a policeman
and thinks oh! I will go and bomb somewhere else ....

but the pieces ( pun intended) you have missed is .....
THE photo leaked showed a detonator with a microcircuit in the cap - how bombers die is well known and the things they hold in their hands may well survive - think smoking shoes ....

which Salman could not possibly have done himself - gormless and not very bright and certainly not handy

which means - - it was imported and built here

IF - and a big IF they have found spare bits - - then there could be a second device which has er a short shelf life ...

OO-ER ! panic stations!

[mikey4444]

The Yanks should be ashamed of themselves.

[Peter Pedant]

imported or built here..sozza
and if built here hen the bomber is free to do another one

anyway I am glad Dr Yunis (Libyan) has gone public in Manc
The Libyan community in Manchester is as shocked as anyone that a bomber has gone in and massacred primary school children - the fambly was well known

so the contrast with 2005 wiv inarticulate young men in chav accents and jellbiyas saying darn sarf - "well dey are killing our bruvvas in Iraq" could not be greater

I have just returned from Edinburgh city, Holyrood Palace and parliament building areas are cordoned off to motorists, car parks closed and armed men in uniform are aplenty checking out pedestrians...don't know if the buildings are closed to visitors but not a chance a car can get near...
