It is horrible, but browsing social media you really understand how much of a sheltered life British people live.
They talk in such dramatic terms like "what is the world coming to". "I was in that area a few weeks ago". As if they're the star of the show.
It almost comes across as people enjoy the attention terror incidents bring them. Some easy social media posts. Perverse.
"At least" 60 Shia Muslims got blown up and shot at a restaurant yesterday in Iraq. Before we begin muslim bashing

You do appreciate that CCMB is a form of social media, don't you?
You know what I mean, the knobs on Facebook. Needy and narcissistic. Doctors now prescribing for a condition called FOMO ... Fear of Missing Out.
It was only a Lidl explosion.
Wires can be seen coming out of drilled holes in the bucket, looks as though it was a poorly executed attack.
Did they find a passport next to the bucket? !!!!!
?
Corporate media is predictably trying to wring maximum attention and fear-mongering from the incident.
Yes, it was only a small bomb after all and nobody killed, so don't know why they are even reporting it.

Organ's not suggesting that.

I've made the same point in the past. Those who commit such crimes want to attract maximum publicity and alarm - and the media are ultra willing to oblige them.
Indeed, damn the press and TV for reporting on this.
I wasn't advocating a news blackout but rather questioning why they always do exactly what the opponent desires, which is blanket coverage... sometimes for days on end. Aren't you curious too?
By the way, as predicted Irma wasn't nearly as devastating as meteorologists had thought until a few days before landfall. They then changed their forecasts, but the media pretended to be unaware so as to retain viewers via ramping fear. World stock markets surged on Monday as a consequence.
It's like pick a side. Any side as long as you pick one,. Black and white. Us and them. Divide and conquer. There is no money in peace, same as there is no money in a cure. Been going on since forever.
Nicely summarised and completely correct.
We could build a coalition of the willing my friend.
Hard to disagree with that.
Well said.
As long as we're pointing the finger at each other then we're not pointing it at the people making the rules and causing the problems.
Blacks, Irish, Gays, Single Mothers, Benefit Claimants, Immigrants and now Muslims. The past 50 years has seen a conveyor belt of scapegoats as the reason for societies problems, lack of money, reasons to be fearful etc. etc.
The one constant - the establishment deflecting blame onto the 'little' people.
The sad part - people too stupid to think for themselves.
Hear, hear.
Governments of every persuasion always place the interests of banks and big businesses above those of the citizens.
Why did they evacuate The Aetherius Temple School?
Surely a Flying Saucer should have appeared to save them all?

I get that tube through Parsons Green, at about that time, a few times per week. Was going the other way today for a meeting in North London.
It's bring it home a bit more tbh when you think it's possible you could have been caught up in it. The media though probably doesn't reflect the mood of people carrying on as usual with their everyday business. Obviously it's different for those directly involved.
