Don’t fool yourself. Last night’s attack was due to decades of unjust foreign intervention, so promoting terrorism, in turn murdering innocent families. This isn’t going to stop. The so called 100 year war against the west, against us, will continue... Our government doesn’t care about collateral damage, us. All they care about is the almighty £ and which western bully to team up with in the pursuit of oil.

I came across the following quote this morning, it has helped make my mind up on who I will be voting for on the 8th June 2017

“When it comes down to our politicians, we make the same mistake time after time after time. We almost always vote for the candidate that tells us what we want to hear rather than what we need to hear”

Horrible. Deliberately targeting a concert which would be mostly young kids...WTF????

Whoever's name it's done in, whether it's this atrocity or any other so-called "cause", it's the action of a group of cowardly, deluded c*nts, nothing more noble than that.

What has the muslim community got to do with it, if some nutcase decided to kill innocent kids ??!! I think any normal human (Muslim or Not) would report such a thing if he knew about it.

And of course it is not done in the name of the muslim community!! if it is on someones name then it should be be on the name of Tony Blair and Bush who destroyed a stable country and killed lots of innocents - The same country where evil ISIS was created by the way !!!! Now we are talking !!!

So according to your logic we "Common BRITS/English" should accept and feel associated with the Tony Blair/British Government crimes and legacy overseas ?!

NP: First and last comment on a political topic !! :driving:


I understand folks are getting upset but blaming all Muslims is out of order. I'm not a Muslim myself but have friends who are and I can tell you they ain't no terrorist! Lots of bull is blamed on/done in the name of "Islam" by both Muslim and Non Muslims alike when they have nothing to do with the Koran. Arranged/forced marriages being a great example of a regional/culture tradition that's made it onto our shores that most blame on Islam. I was told this by a rather frank and honest Iman during "culural awareness training" we had at work must be 15 year ago, not long after 911. This guy was forced out of one Mosque he was a Iman at in because he wouldn't endorse it but powerful figures in the local Muslim community considered it "Islamic".

It reminds me of back in the 80's when I was growing up and occasionally my mother would get some "IRA Terrorist" esque remark when they heard her Irish accent, she wasn't even from Nortehrn Ireland! :lol:

These remarks were always from men, very brave they were! They never once said it when my dad was with her, granted he's british with a british accent, but I think it had more to do with him being relatively young back then and a British Weight Lifting champion! :rofl:

Your a Idiot!

Tell us what YOU think they as a community should be now doing "about it" then? Lets hear this?
Obviously no other individuals from other communities ever commit any crimes or atrocities.

Guys can we please not turn this post into a row between members, if anyone wants to start a post about their views on the causes then please do so elsewhere. People are dead and this isn't the time for a brawl.

I've asked the mods to keep an eye on this and lock it if it gets nasty.

Thanks guys. :thumbsup:

Its heart warming to see that even in this day and age that the worst of humanity brings out the best in far greater measure. All those folks who offered rooms, drinks, food and taxi drivers with free lifts etc. Makes you proud of the people of Manchester and to be from there, not something you get can say all that often!
