Looks like armed/special forces are taking part in further raids: https://twitter.com/MENnewsdesk/status/867347215194476544
I wonder... With the age of this guy and him being male, is it more to do with the horrid education system in the last 20 years that has given little hope to this age group that they wont just be stacking shelves? I mean there's plenty of other problems in Britain (racial tensions, economic problems, family tensions, stale culture of drinking and drugs etc), but if people are growing up with little hope in this country, why wouldn't they lash out if they could and had extra motivation for being a racial minority?
There are a lot of young white youths in this country who are in the same boat (chavs) who aren't too far away from being a similar nuisance if this country gets any less dignified and the European nationalism starts agitating too much... We can blame Islam all we want, but we're ignoring the biggest issue here.
I'm not being boring, but to excuse violence at any level or in any area allows for complicity. You could have said the same about football hooliganism or industrial disputes like Orgreave or Wapping, (I am not taking sides), but lack of opportunity and or education was probably a factor in all.
To mitigate a mass murderer for his possible poor start in life is pushing it.
Well since Corbyn considers various terrorists and terrorist groups to be his 'friends', yes this might well cause people to consider whether he is really suitable for the role... but I'm not sure we can discuss that too much in this thread as there is another thread for political discussion to be re-opened later.
She's been in power for a relatively short period of time so it's hardly her fault
And even with more resources that doesn't guarantee some people won't slip through the net, it would be probably be near impossible to monitor everybody anyways

Is that the same folk who have just been ruling northern Ireland peacefully for the past 15 years or so. ?
Sorry but when you deal with the devil you also have to talk to the Devil, and talking is better than killing.
You are trying to create a clever narrative when it's clear what went on. I don't know anyone in the 1980s when youth unemployment was at a high who would actively try and kill children because of their declining prospects. You are looking in the wrong places, seriously get a grip, it's bordering on offensive.
So we're not supposed to look into the factors that may have contributed to a criminal's actions? Not supposed to think of ways we might improve things to make it less likely to happen again? He's clearly not excusing mass murder, what an odd thing to say.I'm not being boring, but to excuse violence at any level or in any area allows for complicity.

There is a difference between talking with and actively supporting/sympathising with. And not just them either - he's referred to Islamist groups Hamas and Hezbollah as his 'friends' - groups that carry out exactly this sort of suicide attack against civilians.
So Martin Mcguines was an innocent then... The entire British government was a sympathiser.
What annoys me is that you have all of the usual:
- Politicians saying the same old things, terror won't win
- People saying the same old things on social media and changing their pictures, "pulling together"
Yet it'll just happen again. And again. And again.
A serious, new plan needs to be drawn up by the powers that be. It's near on impossible to stop, but more can be done.
Also, a load of armed soliders won't be much use if a guy casually walks into a crowd and blows himself up. Unless he gives a warning beforehand, which he obviously wouldn't.
It's crazy, and frustrating.
Come on now, it's not a general issue with young first gen immigrants. It's an issue for young first gen immigrants from a specific part of a specific religion. You don't see first gens from other backgrounds blowing themselves and other people up with nail bombs. That indicates the problem lies in a different cause. They are being deliberately targeted to turn them into naive weapons.
No and no. I'm not sure how you draw that conclusion? Like I said there is a difference between talking and sympathising/supporting.
dowie in deflecting Conservative incompetence over to Labour & Jeremy Corbyn shocker.
What does Corbyn's support for terrorists have to do with 'Conservative incompetence'?
You know, I've always had my suspicions that you were the type to drink tea from a mug.....No offence my old china...
