Celebrating my birthday in Manchester as news of the Manchester Arena bomb broke. The anger is monumental. For what reason will this ever stop?
Theresa May says such attacks "will not break us", but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues. Also, "will not break us" means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa. Sadiq Khan says "London is united with Manchester", but he does not condemn Islamic State - who have claimed responsibility for the bomb. The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an "extremist". An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?
In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections.
Morrissey 23 May 2017.
“Good teacher.....He really seems to care.....About what I have no idea.”
Don’t give that arsehole the benefit of the doubt.
He doesn’t deserve that.
No he said Islamic state
Miss that guy.
I do get a kick out of this though.
The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press.
What does he expect her to do? Should all government activity stop for a period of time?
Life goes on. God forbid the day when a lone nutjob terrorist can close all government buildings any time they want.
Damn right!
What’s the line about a mugged Liberal?
Damn...pleasantly surprised.
Morrissey is doing the right thing here, don’t jump on him because of past disagreements.
Bravo. I shall point out the obvious, though - this is an opinion one is simply not permitted to have anymore, at least not outside of the wilder reaches of the Internet where something so antiquated as the truth is still extant. Such as this one. Stay armed, stay safe.
I just looked at his FB page. They are giving him hell for his racist rant................GB is doomed...............
People feel powerless when things like this happen.
They want to do something, but they don’t know what.
Here’s a lady with less means than others, but she made her little sign and went over to join others.
I don’t begrudge her that.
She could have stayed at home and acted like nothing happened.
I just hope she follows through the next time a vote comes up. Support good people and good policies.
As it relates to this, those that will send the hordes back to the hell hole they crawled out of.
Girlfriend is out of her coma.
Close, but he needed to say Islam - with no qualifiers.
Somehow I don’t think Morrissey cares one whit about what anybody thinks of him.
Sadiq Khan also says terrorism is just “part and parcel” to living in a big city.
BTW Morrissey hasn’t been the singer of The Smiths for about 30 years now.
Panic on the streets of Birmingham
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again?
Most likely not, but I am astounded at the hate and vitriol being aimed at him for speaking his mind..................
