so an attack is imminent

[myoriginal3]

AIBU to be a little freaked, living in London?

[Jupitar]

The son of Jeremy Corbyn's election strategist has hinted that the timing was terribly "convenient" for TM hmm

somebodies 30 year old son posted something on Facebook? Seriously clutching straws now

[PigletWasPoohsFriend]

It will benefit her campaign though. Thats just a fact. Doesnt mean he is saying she created it or is glad people died.

Well some in the Labour party obviously agree that it was in bad taste and bad timing as they go to pains to disassociate themselves from it in that article.

I'm the daughter of a chemical engineer but you wouldn't want me loose in a lab and a white coat

[WeDoNotSow]

Knew it wouldn't take them long to say TM planned it... fucking loons.

[WeDoNotSow]

The brother has been arrested. Nice family, wonder what their dinner conversations were

[OlennasWimple]

Perhaps someone's son saying tinfoil hat stuff wouldn't trouble the Labour party so much if their leader and other senior members weren't apologists for the IRA.

Kindnessatlas If anything this shows that we need to work with Europe, not in isolation, we face the same problems as other European countries in terms of fighting terrorism. We share the same values as our European neighbours in terms of personal freedom, the rule of law equal opportunities, women's rights, democracy. I have nothing against Muslims but culturally we are closer to European countries that share a similar Christian history but that are also largely areligious and tolerant.

There have been so many attacks in European countries in recent months as well as on international targets in Istanbul. This is not going away is it?

In Europe we stand united. Brexit will isolate and weaken us and has achieved nothing for us in terms of national security.

I think you'll find that an awful lot of the intelligence is from us to the EU. We are the only EU member state in the Five Eyes, and Brexit won't make us weaker or isolate us. We are still in NATO, and the Five Eyes. The problem with standing 'united' in Europe is that it isn't 'united' in terms of intelligence services, like the Five Eyes.

This www.politico.eu/article/belgium-failed-state-security-services-molenbeek-terrorism/ might give you an idea of why your 'united in Europe' comment just doesn't cut it. It is long, but worth a read imo.

It seems I know rather more of them than I thought too

[Jupitar]

However, Labour has moved to disassociate itself from the comments by pointing out that the 30-year-old has never worked for the party or held any position.

And what did the Conservative party say when they were contacted about his comments? As it's only fair if he's not Worked for the Tory party either that they get asked, or haven't they disassociated themselves from him yet

Father is being held too.

My two girls who are 12 are terrified by this news.... with half term coming up we were going to go shopping in our city (cardiff) but they are now to scared now to go.

It will happen Im sure at some point(not being negative) its so frightening

[Maisy84]

Urgh reading this whilst waiting for a tube to Heathrow. Although the mood seems normal in London so far...

[HighwayDragon1]

I'm in comicon this weekend, I'm not bothered.

[MumIsRunningAMarathon]

Main bomb maker still out there.... possibly another attack imminent

I read that as there's a second bomb unaccounted for

Greater Manchester run is still going ahead this weekend. How can they be confidant 13.2 miles (both sides of the road) will be safe?

If you knew anything about Andrew Murray, Jeremy Corbyn's Election strategist, you would understand why there were raised eyebrows at the very least.

There is no reason whatsoever for the Tory Party to be asked anything about Murray. Try the Communists, or Stop The War coalition.

[OlennasWimple]

Fanjo - apologist is the least of what I would call them.

Wtf it wasn't Andrew Murray it was his 30 year old son, my company employs a Marketing Manager, do I need to check the marketing managers sons fb account to check it doesn't reflect badly on me?

Bombmaker is who they are really after marathon

[KindnessAtlas]

"Bombmaker is who they are really after marathon"

They should get to him soon now they have arrested so many of the cell presumably one of them will start talking sooner than later.

[myoriginal3]

Lets hope so.

[MumIsRunningAMarathon]

Doubt it!

[BrightonBelleCat]

Highway me too! I've contacted the parents of the kids I'm taking with me and they are still happy for us to go and take them.

[KindnessAtlas]

"Doubt it!" why?
