Blimey that’s soon passed. Even though this country is the world leader in extended mourning and justice seeking that can go on for decades this still unbelievable tragedy doesn’t seem to receive anywhere near the magnitude of “remembrance” nor general outrage that nothing more is being done to root out these mass murderers at source before they get anywhere near being able to slaughter our children on a whim. We are still tiptoeing around the Elephant in the room too scared of upsetting one particular religion/community.

I remember this from the One Love concert that followed that atrocity.
Very moving, I thought.

The UK intelligence services are doing nothing to root out terrorism for fear of being branded racist. Fuck me sideways. You're so far down the rabbit hole we're going to have to start calling you Alice.

Some people actually think this jihadi creature should be allowed back into our country, from the Independent:
The Manchester Arena attack was “justified” because of airstrikes that have killed civilians in Syria, Shamima Begum has claimed.
The 19-year-old, who is pleading to be repatriated from a detention camp in Syria, told the BBC it was “wrong that innocent people did get killed” in the 2017 atrocity.
But she compared the Manchester bombing to the “women and children in [Isis territory] being killed right now unjustly with the bombings”, adding: “It’s a two-way thing really because women and children are being killed in the Islamic State right now and it’s kind of retaliation. Their justification was that it’s retaliation so I thought OK that is a fair justification.” Isis claimed responsibility for Salman Abedi’s bombing, which killed 22 victims including young children, with a statement that claimed it was in response to “transgression against the Muslims”.
Almost identical wording, citing the international coalition, has been used for Isis statements claiming numerous terror attacks across Europe since spokesperson Abu Muhammed al-Adnani called for global atrocities in 2014.

The group’s propaganda used civilian casualties in airstrikes and alleged war crimes by its enemies to attract recruits and justify its own atrocities.
Ms Begum told the BBC she joined Isis aged just 15 in 2015 after watching its propaganda: “Not just the beheading videos, the videos they show of families in the park you know, the good life.”
She acknowledged her story may have inspired others to join Isis, adding: “I did hear a lot of people were encouraged to leave after I left but I wasn’t the one that put myself on the news.”
