Just heard that they suspect there was an attempt to bomb a train as well, not confirmed but on twitter. The reports on the blonde haired, nordic looking gunmen having been seen near the bomb site are as yet unconfirmed.
First suspects were of course radical Islamists acting in revenge for recent arrests, previous cartoons etc. However unless this guy was a local convert or very well disguised….. There is a fairly strong far right neo-nazi contingent over there who have stirred up trouble a few times. Conjecture at this time is i suppose rather pointless as we could be looking at disgustingly large numbers of casualties both at the bomb site and perhaps even more so on the island. May their God be with the families who even now dont know if their loved one’s are dead, alive or wounded.
Jay, hope you continue to get good news from your people over there.
I am sure i echo everyone’s thoughts here in thinking of those who have died and been injured as well as their families & friends.
Edit: Just on Skynews that the arrested man is a 32 (?)year old Norwegian.
I am a Christian since birth and remain so and believe that the UK still is a primarily Christian country whether or not everyone baptised a Christian adheres to symbols of attending church, etc.
You or anyone in the UK are free to believe in anything or nothing as a religious faith.( not always , chum, you should try being a RC or alternatively a Protestant living in certain varied parts of Northern Ireland)
We have professionally highly trained armed forces and police in the UK and they primarily adhere to all democratic conventions when operating on the mainland. I am not free or able to comment on external operations as these opinions are often blurred by journalists. Yet I always remember these highly trained individuals are humans like us with all the human frailties we all have.
People cause trouble in society when they aren’t gainfully employed or have positive objectives. So people on the dole are the only ones who cause trouble? Get real will you…that is highly offensive to the millions of people who find themselves without employment through no fault or choice of their own.
Case in point my German neighbours and it is hardly my remit to rehabilitate them from what ever illegal/anti social activities they are engaged in during the wee hours of most mornings. These are issues for Anglo German authorities they have a party and you want to declare an international incident???that if they wish to be objective can deal with. The matters are with local Police anyway so I cannot gain much by winging much more except that it appears that what Germany don’t want Scotland has picked up the responsibility for.:mad: Akin to ‘Megrahi’ scandal.:o (No further comment on this as it is an embarrassment to honest people in Scotland and it is beyond belief – the happenings of the last few years with respect to this topic)
Hess literally “dropped in” here as well didn’t he ? Yep that makes the whole thing relevant….
Must be the heather that attracts extremists.:D (Not much natural heather in my neighbourhood though, thank goodness)
To be honest, as has already been said, your postings dont tend to make a big pile of sense.

You ain’t the only one Kev !!
laviticus ,I dount if they will venerate a man who they still contend was in on the plot to kill their “glorious” leader. They are much more likely to continue to venerate the graves of people like Wittman. After all the sort of genius who comes out with a statement like:
“In the book “Serpent’s Walk” the Nazis went underground, and then resurfaced again years later for unfinished business. Well, one can dream.”
is hardly likely to be slow to find some other way of bowing at the altar of that sick creed.

While I cannot say for sure why the Murdochs are held in such disregard in the UK I can assure anyone that they are held in equal disregard in Ireland….and not due to their being foreign but simply down to the way they run their newspapers and their business in general.
But then we Irish, like most reasonable people, tend to have a thing about bullies and those who would shout us down…hence we are ashamed of someone with a good Irish name like Bill O’Reilly, one of the Murdoch empires shining lights !!!!

Anyone see Mr Clarkson’s thoughts in the Sun yesterday ? Better the devil you know when it comes to his employer???? Never mind the rest of his BS in that column,that takes the limit ….does he live in the real world ?

Kev, you are right.
The effect of these actions on the Dowler family , and by the sounds of it many,many other families who have gone through the hell of losing a child or relative, is what should be concentrated on and not the chance to get at Murdoch. If I created the impression that the latter was more important I apologise. My concerns would be with the families and what could be done to ensure something like this never happens again.
I can see how some journalists would feel pressurised by their bosses into doing illegal stuff , some would do it as a career move to acheive “targets” but that is still no excuse for forgetting the difference between right and wrong. The shame is that such pressures are a common management practice in many parts of the business world.

Proverbial hits the fan with more revelations over on CH4 around NOTW “checking up” on a senior policeman .
Why not close them? if this was a TV news/documentary programme it would be taken off the airwaves quicker than you could blink !
After all its just another outlet for Murdockworld, so its not as if their “message” will be lost !

Could bring a whole new meaning to the term “mobile home ” !
Just thinking of all those WW2 aircraft and gliders that ended up as homes, garages and sheds , wondering what other uses could be found for some of these modern day bone-yard occupants !
Sad news, May he Rest in Peace.
My thoughts are with his family and friends. If it wasnt for people like this the historic aviation movement wouldnt exist !
