    Now this one I do agree on. Loads of people have no idea about the update.
    Fake Islamic Terrorism? Intriguing.

    Maybe she just told us about it before it had happened?
    Time to avoid anywhere called Bowling Green or indeed anywhere with a bowling green.

    I thought they said 36 terrorists killed by "that bomb". The score has risen to 90+. How many innocents,i wonder?

    First I've seen on it.

    I said pretty much exactly this to my Dad on Thursday. You don't really want to go down the same false flag path as the conspiracy nutjobs so I tried not to think about it much but something always seemed off about it. The 3 letters at the scene claiming it for ISIS, with 1 online claiming it for an anti-fascist group. Not targetting a highly populated area. Fleeing the scene rather than looking to take advantage of the chaos. Even the target seemed wasteful for Islamic terrorists. None of it really sits with other attacks.

  6. Those vicious Liberal Lefties let loose Mrs Merton on a demonstration at Trump Tower earlier today.
    Despicable behaviour - don't they know the damage her ascerbic wit could inflict on His Royal Dumpfness?? <laugh>

    Still lots of confusion about the Dortmund bombing, with a variety of theories being pursued by the police.
    Far Right groups have tried to claim it, apparently. That could be just an attempt to grab some publicity, though.
    Very odd situation.

    Someone needs to give the horses some laxatives. And provide a fan to keep Trump 'cool'.

    Trump wants to use a form of transport which cannot protect him from bullets or explosive devices that a sniper couldn't fail to see?

    Donald Trump called conspiracy nutcase and snake-oil salesman Alex Jones for advice and said that he was amazing.
    Unfortunately for the temporary Russian appointee, Jones has had some trouble with his ex-wife.
    Their custody hearings for the kids resulted in Jones' lawyer saying that his client didn't actually believe his own bullshit.
    "It's performance art" and he's "playing a character", apparently. Oops!

    No chance, mate. The useless cow will win by a landslide as there's virtually no opposition.

    Considering the attempt to take the wind out of Corbyn's sails last week where an opinion poll (curated by a Tory peer...) said that 55% of the British public think Theresa May is doing a good job as unelected Prime Minister...doesn't that mean that in the space of nine months 45% have realised she isn't?

    She's weak and next to useless, as are her cabinet. In almost any other scenario she'd be out on her ear, but sadly she's probably going to win very easily.

    "It would be unfair to Scotland, the people of Scotland at the moment that they would be being asked to make a crucial decision without the information they need to make that decision." - Theresa May, 16th March

    ...and within a month she's telling the entire UK to make a crucial decision without all the information they need to make that decision.

    EDIT

    Meanwhile she's also being endorsed by the biggest coward in British political history. The responses are the best part...

    Cameron isn't qualified to comment on bravery.

    Cue Sun going OTT on Corbyn character assasination. Etc. Yawn.

    And yet another election where the government will be elected by the electoral system and not by the people, where the vast majority of votes cast will not count for anything. This is not democracy.

    Within an hour the Labour MP for Middlesbrough & South Cleveland, Tom Blenkinsop, said he would be resigning his seat after the election due to disagreements with Jeremy Corbyn.

    In other words, within an hour of the election being called, the Blairites started campaigning for the Tories, as evidenced by Blenkinsop backing Liz Kendall and Owen Smith in the last couple of Labour leadership contests...
