Savage Henry Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 If needs be they could have drafted it, translated it and had it approved in a jiffy. Your NYT woman thinks they may have had no contact with the bomber. I'm seeing that and it also refers to the number of dead. I don't think that she's saying that they didn't have contact, merely that it isn't clear. And IS strategy doesn't necessitate contact. It does differentiate between supported events and inspired events. SITE, the security analysis agency, are quite firm that this is the former. The NYT journalist also appears to be implying that the perpetrator may still be at large, which seems at odds with what the UK authorities are hinting at.

smpar Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 ? Sorry if I've been whooshed here but what's this all about Correct me if I'm wrong about this: Someone tweeted about his brother still not being in contact and he later tweeted that dozens of journalists have been hounding him for contact details and one even found his address and stuck a note through his door. The second image is all the friend requests he's been getting on Facebook. Insensitive fucking vultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Guys brother still missing, Telegraph have door-stepped him for an interview, numerous other outlets have "learned" his phone number Sadly, it's something that has to be done. I could never personally do it, but if you go into that line of journalism, a "death knock" is almost expected. I absolutely hate the idea of it, and don't agree with it whatsoever, but it's usually the editors who put the pressure on the journalists to do it; I wouldn't blame the journalist.

Think your mixing classless journos looking for a story with police informing next of kin of a death. Or I've misunderstood what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 When I read the initial post in this thread, I genuinely thought that it was the set-up to an unfunny joke about Ariana Grande's hit single 'Bang Bang'. Alas, it wasn't. Awful stuff. Can only repeat what others have said, but I'd also add that I feel a bit sorry for Ariana who has automatically (and unjustifiably) assumed a sense of responsibility/guilt for the attacks. This will unfortunately live with her for the rest of her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone turns up with a CV in the hope of getting a temporary admin gig. What if you get transferred to the suicide bomber department? I doubt they'd be amenable to your reasons for not going.

ICTChris Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Best thing at any time of tragedy is to ignore the likes of Brookstein and Katie Hopkins. In fact, best thing to do at any time at all is to ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Brookstein blocked me years ago, but it's nice to see he's taken time out from his busy schedule singing at Pizza Express to give us his childlike opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
