Panic as 'people injured' after massive explosion in Glasgow restaurant
Daily Star ^ | Aug. 6, 2016 | Joshua Nevett

Posted on 08/06/2016 6:16:05 AM PDT by rickmichaels

The blast is thought to have happened near the junction of Benalder Street and Dumbarton Road in West Glasgow.

Emergency crews raced to the scene moments after the explosion is said to have partially destroyed a building.

One of the walls of the La Riviera Italian restaurant's kitchen has been reduced to rubble, and properties nearby have also been damaged.

Pictures shared by eye-witnesses show bricks from the building strewn across the road.

Firefighters are reportedly using machinery to pull down the remains of the wall.

Have you ever had haggis? It is the chieftain of the pudding race.

Ate more than my share. . .Burns Night tradition and being an American, they felt honor-bound to make sure I had lots of it.

After a few years, actually liked it.

“Gas leak until proven otherwise.”

That would have been true 10 years ago.

A traveling horde of Bernie supporters holding their “fart-in” in restaurants with lit gas stoves or lit birthday cakes? Those kooks aren’t very bright.

If the chef is competent, haggis is a tasty tasty thing. Yes, I have eaten haggis. I told my scrapple-eating friends that they can’t say “boo” about haggis.

Terrorist word starting with the letter M or I, take your pick. Don’t want to jump to conclusions, it still might be a christian (sarc).

The article says the wall has been unsafe and has been surrounded by barriers for a week.

I am going with a rare “not Islamic” on this one.

Even if this turns out to be a gas leak or a meteor strike, we should blame it on moslems. You know, the way libs blame everything on global warming? Facts be damned!

Either that or make it Hillary's fault.

Hillary once was a paid lobbyist for the Scottish Restaurant Association, and bribed Parliament to pass laws easing inspections of restaurant stoves and ovens. The years after the regulations were changed, fires, explosions, and deaths from same in Scottish restaurants increased 26%.

Now she's trying to do the same thing to American eateries!

Not one word of the above is true, but facts don't matter to the media fictioneers, so why should they matter to us?

It’s possible that repair crews hit a gas line whilst working. But again, in this modern day, I wonder about sabotage.

Hillary Clinton got involved in SCOTTISH politics this way? No kidding? Doesn’t seem possible to me, I thought she was into American mischief solely.

I also thought Republicans were the folks who wanted less regulation. Also are the Scottish mishap figures on a per-installation basis, or the total for Scotland?

I am totally with you, but in this particular case I, myself, am going with “not.”

You are perfectly free to come to your own conclusion. :-)

Time will tell.

“A doleful and slightly sardonic chuckle...”

The Uk, France and the Euro trash countries seem to have the same master re their mediots and the inability to identify Islamic Terrorism as our left wing mediots.

These two cafe explosions may be due to something else, and I/we may be wrong by asking “Were these horrible incidents more Islamic acts of terror!

There’s been some question about if Scotland would rather stay in the EU than remain part of Great Britain after BRexit. Perhaps this will be the wakeup call they need.

I seem to recall some years ago the Scots were considering withdrawing from Great Britain to become a sovereign nation. I haven't heard anything lately.

The recent machete attack on two Belgium Police women was also, definitely not an act of Islamic terror in spite of:

A man wielding a machete and shouting "Allahu Akbar" injured two female police officers Saturday outside a police station in southern Belgium, according to reports.

Maybe it will...or maybe it won't.

It might turn out to be just another mentally ill Norwegian Somali chef gone berserk.

Who knows? All I know is you can't trust what the press tells you.

Hillary Clinton has been involved in bribery and corruption scandals in at least 14 foreign countries and is wanted by Interpol and the Cheka for graft, vote-buying, and operating a tattoo parlor without a license.

No kidding?

Yes kidding.

I’ve heard rumors of all kinds and it didn’t seem she was up to all that much visible good with her foundation. It would seem that she’d be publishing the particulars if she was. As it is she is not even the star of her own coronation, so to speak.
