UK Stops Sharing Intel About Manchester Attack With US After Leaks
Daily Caller ^ | May 25, 2017 | Jacob Bojesson

British police have stopped sharing information about the Manchester Arena bombing investigation with the U.S. after leaks to the media, the BBC reported Thursday.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd warned the U.S. Wednesday about “irritating” leaks despite assurances from American officials. Images from the attack appeared in The New York Times just hours later, which was the final straw for British authorities.

Prime Minister Theresa May will raise the issue with President Donald Trump at a NATO summit Thursday in Brussels. Officials believe the leaks are coming from U.S. law enforcement, rather than the White House.

That’s so that the entire world will think that 22 people were mysteriously killed by a balloon popping and will never connect it with the UK’s failure to control their Muslim jihadi population.

What they’re mad about isn’t a “leak”.
It was obviously Islamic terrorists.
What they’re mad about is that they can’t cover that up.

Everyone with a phone and access to social media (facebook, instagram, twitter, youtube) was uploading content from the event.

Were these images from first responders? UK government investigators?

And I recall that UK police have been busted in the past for leaking phonecalls and other things to the British press.

What were they going to do, hide the name?

Tell us that it was popping balloons?

Nothing to do with islam?

Maybe someone was just trying to shut Shemp Smith up.

“Officials believe the leaks are coming from U.S. law enforcement, rather than the White House.”

“Officials” just doing the leaking the rest of America doesn’t want to.

“Officials believe the leaks are coming from U.S. law enforcement, rather than the White House.”

The Deep State still taking every opportunity to torpedo President Trump.

On the other hand, if Britain doesn’t want to share their info, let then boil in their own juices.

Apparently, the UK is upset that somewhere, someone,
just might do something to stop Islamic terror.

"When they came for the little girls
with bombs and metals ignored at every entry gate,
exactly where where WERE the British police and Crown?"

New norm: suppressing reports of major incidents involving extremist islam perpetrators. Don’t want to hurt any muslim feelings.

Blaming the USA while ignoring the barbarians inside their gates will get them absolutely no where. May as Home Secretary allowed many jihadis into the country and somehow we’re to blame?!

Thank you! Blame America for what they’ve allowed to happen in their country? Ha! And is our Intel also to blame for the grooming gangs that went on for decades?

I wonder how many hours it was before the NYet Times was aware that a noonday driver in Times Square making a radical left turn onto a sidewalk and smashing through pedestrians and then telling a witness ‘I meant to kill them’ WASN’T a mere drunk driving incident?

Kee-rist....the explosion was DIRECTLY across the street from a huge train station.

There could even have been a Google camera mapping car driving by at the time.

I turned to youtube for news updates because at the time the media was still blathering on about popping balloons inside the hall and a possible “stampede”.

When I saw video of a man with bleeding legs (the kind from shrapnel, not broken legs from falling down), I figured that there was a coverup afoot.

MSM showed the QUEEN in a hospital visiting an injured child from the terrorist attack. She asked, “You’ve had quite a jolt, didn’t you?” The father passively agreed. Unbelievable!

Elitists have flushed the Europe down the toilet and America is swirling around the bowl.

Burn those bridges Theresa!

Britain won't need US friendship after Brexit.

The people in charge in Britain are trying to create a false narrative that hides their incompetence and downplays the seriousness of their situation.

My bosses all did the same thing when some problem focused attention on their deficiencies. It’s how you manage the information that makes your reputation. Any general does the same when he spins the facts to minimize his mistakes or to make his mistake look like a coldly calculated move.

This is all standard bureaucratic behavior. From the “manager’s” perspective no one could possibly have done any better than they. Anyone who took over from them would do worse; much worse.

BS. What the UKowards were really peeved about was Trump's speech in Saudi, which showed that Europe is directed by the weak and the clueless--starting with fierce, awe-inspiring military minds with names like Amber and Theresa.
