Yes. But it is too obvious for too many. Let’s just say the security services here were trained by the best and leave it there. ---

Here you go again! What happened last night is sickening. In April I mentioned a report in The Guardian that said that 6 people had been knifed to death in London in separate incidents in a week. This too is sickening but you don’t seem interested in anything unless in involves Muslims/migrants. I would be good to see you ranting about things that didn’t involve Muslims or our French manager. ---

Not sure that this is the thread to have some of these discussions. I don’t have many words about what happened last night. Finding the press coverage quite intrusive. Inane questions to grieving people. Enough. Let them be. ---

I’d humbly disagree, @intiniki . These points come up in discussions and you either ignore them or address them with a decent counter-point. It would seem Manchester agrees. > **Mancunians turned their anger on the English Defence League when the far-right group held a display in the wake of last night’s deadly bombing.** > > Men carrying English flags clashed with police and protesters outside the Arndale Shopping Centre in the city, which was briefly evacuated on Tuesday morning. > > But they were outnumbered by Mancunians who condemned their protest of the attack, which happened after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena and killed 22 people, including ‘many’ children, Prime Minister Theresa May said. > > Read more: [http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/23/mancunians-show-real-manchester-spirit-as-they-shout-down-edl-protesters-6655982/#ixzz4hvjOT8lm](http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/23/mancunians-show-real-manchester-spirit-as-they-shout-down-edl-protesters-6655982/#ixzz4hvjOT8lm) ---

I am not saying we shouldn’t have debate. But maybe not just now. Can’t we and the media just back off a bit? It sometimes feels like we have to also be part of a big event and this is how we do it. Plus some people don’t really have a productive counter point and then we keep going round and round having same old discussions. ---
