Current Affairs Manchester Arena

[BlueLlama]

People like Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, etc, using this as a platform to spoute their venom disgust me.

The fake news and political point scoring sickens me. I've spent my morning poo break deleting idiots from my Facebook for peddling that turd.

I'm away for a few days and woke up to this this morning without hearing anything about it . For some reason that made it feel even more shocking .

It's an horrendous attack and feels so close to home for so many reasons .

Feel incredibly sorry for anybody involved or with friends/family caught up in this.

Deepest sympathy.

Although most won't need this advice, please keep this civil.

Shocking news to wake up to. All the more sobering is the fact that the other half was at the Manchester Arena on Friday to see Take That.

Utter cowards, targeting children is the lowest of the low. The perp and anyone else involved should rot in whatever hell waits for them.

I used to despise Tommy Robinson till I listened to what he was saying he's against Sharia law & radical Islam however the media have pigeon holed him as a rascist (despite Islam not being a race) and a bigot which is why most people don't bother listening to what he says and also why most people will dislike this comment ...

I was up all night following the news, incredibly sad, and incredibly sickening to think the most innocent of the innocent - children - were targeted. Not afraid to say I shed a tear this morning when the numbers were published.

He is a moron out to stir up hate.

There will more than likely be innocent Muslim lives taken last night.

And loads of sound lads on the taxis by the looks of things.

If you're defending Tommy Robinson on GrandOldTeam.com you've probably strayed to the wrong place.

..my son has just told me he's going to a concert there this Saturday.

Think you'll find that all gigs for at least the next week will be postponed

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

I feel utterly sick to the core.
What sort of messed up creature targets young innocent children at a pop concert.

Thoughts with all those innocent families and victims.

Listened to a phone in with that Maajid Nawaz last week , he was talking to a reformed extremist. The stuff this caller was explaining about his mindset was shocking. Without too much detail he referenced seeing a young child walking in the street and how his only thought was if that child is not of a well known certain religion then they deserved to die.
I emphasise this guy was reformed - he went on to say the amount of people about with similar mindsets in these communities will be genuinely shocking to the outside world.

If your gonna go down that line there arent actually any human 'races' as such

Discrimination based on colour ,creed,religion...its all 'racism'

Is he against Muslims? Or radical Islam there is a difference

He's the former leader of the EDL who battered a policeman who intervened in an 'incident' between Robinson and his girlfriend.

What the hell is wrong with you man.

The vast majority of the black cab taxi boys in Manchester are superb in times like this, and the charity fundraising they do is fabulous.
