TUBE BOMB: Terror as crude IED found on train fails to explode - MORE attacks expected
Express ^ | Oct 22, 2016 | KATIE MANSFIELD AND PATRICK CHRISTYS

ARMED anti-terror police were flooding London today amid fears a BOMB found on a Tube train last night was just the first of many.

Officers tasered and arrested a 19-year-old man after a "viable improvised explosive device" was found on a Tube train at North Greenwich.

North Greenwich tube station was evacuated for nearly seven hours after London Underground staff found the suspect package on an eastbound Jubilee Line train.

But experts warned the IED may have been just the first in a co-ordinated attack on the capital.

How interesting. I didn’t know the Amish had emigrated to the UK and were so dissatisfied with their new surroundings.

This was obviously Putin, who was given help by Donald Trump and Sarah Palin.

Over 12 % of London is Muslim. Merry old England no more. Brexit is too late. Not too late here.

London’s mayor is a muslim.

“Mohammed” is one of the most popular names for new born kids in the UK.

The UK is in deep deep danger. But so many seem blind to that truth.

There exists a very old prophecy from the 12th century that soldiers with ice on their helmets will invade England.

We shall see.

But hey....both the Londonstan and New Yorkstan Mayors said we need to get used to terrorism, like rush-hour traffic. If people die, who cares? Bombs were probably made by descendants of General Cornwallis anyway.

C’mon, it was only a harmless home made clock and the genius amish yut was simply on his way to Greenwich to get the time right.

I avoid The Tube in London.

If they’re going to get me I want to be above ground.

London falling.
I hope they make it intact through this Muslim Mayor experiment. I think there are enough people who truly love this city, so that it will continue to thrive. They will have to defend what they have, and defend it vigourously, or end up like Paris, picked on by ISIS and Calais burnouts.

How did you know the New York Times headlines for tomorrow?

“There was very nearly a catastrophic terror attack in Britain yesterday. No coverage in US media...”

That would be an issue that gets this election off Trump as a person and gets on to Trump’s policies.

Can’t have that.

A couple of months ago there was an attack on a female parliament member by a British nationalist. Little coverage by media except to paint the guy as deranged.???

Which media? There was wall-to-wall coverage of Jo Cox’s murder in the British media, as there will be again when Mair’s trial opens next month.

Was there in March. no surprise. The Tube is chaotic, anyone could sneak anything in there.

You African (Ghana, if I recall) Uber driver opined “Arab money is ruining London” among other things. Good man working hard for his kids.

London and Paris are gone. Only a matter of time before they fall.
