taken from AAV FB feed :

The Manchester Muslim community reported Salman Abedi for extremism at least five times.

♦ The United States warned us that Abedi was planning a terrorist attack against the UK.

♦ Abedi was known to have been in the lawless terrorism breeding-grounds of Libya and Syria.

♦ Abedi was allowed to pass through the UK border unhindered.

♦ After the attack the government claimed the secret services were too busy to watch him.

♦ Khuram Butt was reported for extremism by the Muslim community several times.

♦ Butt was such a high profile extremist he was featured in the Channel 4 documentary "The Jihadis Next Door"!

♦ The Tories were repeatedly warned that they were neglecting their duty to protect the public with their ideologically driven police cuts, but they ignored the warnings and carried on cutting.

It's incredible that there's not mass public pressure on Theresa May and Amber Rudd to resign immediately, let alone that more people are apparently preparing to vote Tory now than in 2015!

So its taken from a Facebook feed from an angry Yorkshire man? Are they any other credible sources to confirm the above? If that is true then its pretty damming.

Prevent is just 1 part of the 4 strategies to combat terrorism in local areas isn't it? the others being Prepare, Protect and Pursue

So yes, the local GMP are saying he wasn't known to them and their Prevent strategy, but the national intelligence service and MI5 did know him

I wouldn't pretend to know the answer re: Prepare, Protect & Pursue so I wouldn't challenge you on that. I guess all information will be incoming in the coming weeks.

Opinions aside, what actually happens on friday if the results come in with a hung parliment? Lets sat for example the tories win, but with less than 308 seats. Who do they form a coalition with? Is that the only potential outcome in that scenario? Would they have to team up with the SNP? If SNP turned around and said no, what then? (I assume they would be the only ones with enough seats to tip the balance into a majority?)

the only party that would entertain them at this stage would be the DUP. DUP usually return around 8 to 10 seats so if Cons only fall a few seats short they can go into coalition with the DUP if they are 20 + short of an overall majority they are toast because as a minority government they will get nothing passed and there will be another election in a few months once a vote of no confidence is called and succeeds.

There is a big difference between "won't be sacking" and moving people around in a cabinet reshuffle.

I'd be amazed if she retains her shadow cabinet position.

Too right, she'll be deputy prime minister next. She's always coveted the position she was up for leader before she lost to Milliband. Anyone who thinks she's heading for the exit door is deluding themselves she's his biggest supporter Corbyn and she are as close as they can get without being married, which they might have been.
 
Come on then... let's have a guess as the winning party's majority!

I think conservatives will get a 55-60% majority. Labour will gain 'some' seats.

Edit - this is clearly written terribly!!! Here's what I meant.

I've said all along that I think Labour will win with a coalition of chaos - LibDems + SNP + Sinn Fein. Corbyn might even invite the Green Party's one MP to join for the hell of it, and give her a ministerial brief. I think their majority will be 20-40.

Technically speaking that is not a win, that is a hung parliament. So no overall winner. Which is what I put a ton down on at 6/1 before the odds got slashed
