To be absolutely disgusted with the conspiracies

That Theresa May and the Tory's have somehow orchestrated the Manchester bombings for political gains. I keep seeing statuses and posts on social media pertaining to this and it's making me sick.

At a time of immense tragedy such as this I couldn't give two shits about political point scoring. Children have died. People have lost parents, siblings, aunts and uncles. Children hospitalised will never be the same again.

AIBU to want certain people to keep their nasty and divisive politics out of this tragedy?

Refer to the Jeremy Corbyn Facebook page and the comments to his status at 06.33 yesterday. They are numerous.

And before anyone attacks me I am not trying to "draw attention" to anything, merely backing up my sources as seems to be so important on MN.

Biscuit - seriously people do you read the 'gutter press' or believe everything on social media? Just think about it for a minute.

I would sooner poke sharpened pencils in my ears than go on the Jeremy Corbyn FB page, can you give us quick example please.

5 live studio evacuated on air that's Manchester isn't it?

muckypup73 · 24/05/2017 13:55

Do you know, that Theresa May done the dirtiest of all by emntioning the Ira bomb that went off in Manchester in other words having a pop at Corbyn because of his links to the Ira, and to be honest thats a cheek anyway because one of her was actually a member of the Ira and was the partner of one too. If your going to post stuff like this make sure you mention everything.

muckypup73 · 24/05/2017 13:56

Also Theresa May sells arms to the Saudis who then pass them onto Isis, so hang on a minute................

blackcatlover · 24/05/2017 13:56

So you started this thread by complaining about all the social media statuses you keep seeing. Now it appears you have been trawling through Jeremy Corbyn'd FB page to try and find a comment in support of this. You are obsessed with using this awful attack to smear the Labour Party.

I have reported this thread.

muckypup73 · 24/05/2017 13:57

An yes your drawing attention to the fact that Mrs May arms Isis.

This is all stuff thatpeople should be aware of, before they start spouting stuff

Dianneabbottsmathsteacher · 24/05/2017 14:02

Because your posts are unfathomable. I know mine arnt brilliant but who was 'one of her was member of the IRA and partner too'

Who are you talking about?

muckypup73 · 24/05/2017 14:05

Theresa May has a Tory party councillor that was an active Ira member.

Dianneabbottsmathsteacher, I am dyslexic by the way.

nannybeach · 24/05/2017 14:11

And Jeremy Corbyn was in bed with the IRA

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 24/05/2017 14:14

Even Owen Jones is talking about soilders toting guns on the streets of Britain

It's opportunistic and unnecessary.

user1487175389 Your examples are of a very different order. No one doubts that organisational cover-ups of wrongdoing sometimes happen, or that people will often be silent when they think no one else has had their experience.

Plots by elected government officials, involving the security services, in order to deliberately kill dozens of children in order to win an election they are almost certainly going to win anyway are on an entirely different level of probability

My Facebook feed is full of lefty rankings and I have seen this once and it was jumped on very quickly.

Most people seem to think that TM will use this to feee into her "strong and stable" discourse. Many people including a contributor on News night have criticised the government for cutting police against a backdrop of security concerns

user1487175389 · 24/05/2017 14:21

How are they different? To has proved she's entirely indifferent to the suffering of children anyway, from the enquiry into historic sexual abuse within government, through to scrapping meaningful measures of child poverty.

user1495561692 · 24/05/2017 14:25

Sorry for the user name. Tried changing yesterday but it wouldn't let me.

I don't think TM has been behind this deplorable act of violence but I don't for a minute think she won't be gleefully rubbing her hands together to work out ways in which she can use the situation to her advantage. I must admit I did raise an eyebrow at the raising the threat level and her wording of the 'imminent' threat. I was in London, on the tube at Nottinghill gate, at the time of the 7/7 bombings and I don't remember it being raised then (disclaimer, I know that isn't proof it didn't happen).

I do think that her cuts to services have an indirect place to play in the whole situation and any future threats.

user1487175389 · 24/05/2017 14:26

For the record, I'm not saying that I believe the theories doing the rounds, just that TM and the rest of the tories have done precisely nothing whilst in power that would incline me to think they care about the lives of ordinary children one iota. I imagine a lot of people feel similar.
