Swordfishtrombone Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I was listening to 5 live this afternoon and every other e-mail they read out was from people basically wanting martial law. I know that people who contact radio stations tend to be knee-jerk reactionaries but it was depressing listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my old man was fighting the Mao Mao in Kenya during the 50's, martial law was imposed and anybody found on the streets after 8pm would be shot. My old man shot and killed a couple of locals at 7.50pm. The commanding officers went spare at first until my dad explained that he knew where they lived and that they would never have got home in time.. Spoiler I'll get my coat. Try the fish!

'Tis quite a scary thought, replacing people trained to protect us with those who are trained to kill - which is in effect what May has done.

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 People on the left suggesting that it was an inside job to help May win the election, and on my Facebook feed 3 friends have liked a post saying that we should execute the families of terrorists as an example. C*nts, c*nts everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That front page of the Sun was obviously printed before the attack had happened. In the best case scenario people sharing this as some sort of anti-Sun meme are misguided or ignorant, in the worst case they are using this attack as a way to push their own political beliefs. It's actually staggering to me that I've seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Why would a terrorist attack benefit May who has been Home Secretary or Prime Minister since 2010, basically in charge of our defence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I don't for a second think this was an inside job or anything like that. But it undoubtedly could advantage the Tories. They were under real pressure with the "Dementia Tax" and subsequent U-turn and Labour were gaining in the polls (albeit not by enough to have a realistic chance of winning). People tend to drift to the right when things like this happen. Also, there will be a kneejerk reaction among some to blame immigration (or, even more stupidly, the EU) and Labour is always seen as more "soft" on these issues. There's also the whole "Corbyn loves terrorists cos he used to like the IRA" shtick which the RWNJ press won't hesitate to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it reassures the public it's a good thing. Meanwhile hopefully the real experts are tracking down anyone remotely involved. Especially if you happen to play drums in a rock band.

Who built the London suicide bombers bombs? The latter. I think there probably would've been a justification for the former as well considering there hasn't been an attack of this magnitude I can recall since 7/7.
