Again. I haven't called every Muslim a bad person have I? All I'm saying is the Muslim community isn't doing enough to tackle these lunatics and ONLY the Muslim community will beat them.

Do you only read the Daily Mail or something?

Grow up you idiot. If you can't be bothered taking part in a discussion then jog on.

No idea why you brought Sean mercer into this it's of no relevance

It is deeply relevant. Mercer committed a vile, almost unspeakably evil act and his family protected him, its exactly the same as what you accuse of going on with the bomber's families (except that you don't actually know what this blokes family did or didn't know).

Look, can we please keep this Manchester centric?

There is a thread all things terrorist related, amazingly, still open, for the wider debate.

Ta.

I think he posts on here but Seddo a lad on twitter has set up a fund raiser for one of the homeless fellas who unselfishly went running in to help.

5 Live have picked up on that.

And I am sure the Daily Mail will be circling, Y'Know......

But the response from the public, which has been noted time and again, has been just brilliant.

Why they will never win.

Was about to mention this (article here http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/23/europe/homeless-man-manchester-attack/index.html)

Days like this it is always nice to see some people do the right thing. You know how you would like to think you would act in a case like this, but seeing people actually do it, actually move toward the danger to help those in need rather than running away. I don't know, but seeing that kind of human spirit helps.

...agree, Billy. Good that they had a correspondent in Liverpool interviewing that young man who ferried folk back from Manchester until 5am this morning.

What a great lad he was. I was thinking mainly of him when I posted that. Also the man from Manchester interviewed with his wife earlier

Replace the word Hatred with Ignorance, and you get half way there.

I think the two words make the whole.
Ignorance and Hatred.

Celebrating my birthday in Manchester as news of the Manchester Arena bomb broke. The anger is monumental.
For what reason will this ever stop?

Theresa May says such attacks "will not break us", but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues. Also, "will not break us" means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa. Sadiq Khan says "London is united with Manchester", but he does not condemn Islamic State - who have claimed responsibility for the bomb. The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an "extremist". An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?
In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections.
