Anyone else following the news on this? Absolutely appalling response from the emergency services.

"Two minutes after the explosion, PC Bullough radioed through, saying "it's definitely a bomb - people are injured - at least 20 casualties".

She then "made the first of a number of requests for ambulances".

The inquiry was told that 24 minutes later another officer radioed to control, saying "you're going to hate me - where's our ambulances please?".
Control replied, saying "we don't know. We're calling them again"."

Unbelievable. How many of those that died could have been saved with more prompt treatment?

This sounds more like general confusion, and dare I say it incompetence or at least lack of awareness of where their ambulances are, rather than any clever intentionally delayed arrival.

Yeah, I can't see anything to suggest they were intentionally delayed, especially considering other first responders were there within 2 minutes.
 
How's you manage to get a picture of Tony? Read that this morning. Unbelievable. First the grooming gangs and now people killed and injured because those with responsibility are wet.
