Oh thanks
Irish, Scottish, Welsh or English. They will be home-grown terrorists.
“We know who is behind this attack and we know they will be going to jail, following a fair trial.”
These days the “who” part isn’t as important as the “why” part.

Brave Dave Perry leapt from the car and locked the doors as the device exploded at Liverpool Women’s Hospital yesterday - killing only the male passenger who carried the bomb.

What, I’m not supposed to believe my lying eyes? In the video we can clearly see the cab pull up and stop. The cab doors are closed as the bomb explodes. Then a few seconds later the cabby opens the driver door and climbs out.
I hate media liars.
Same here. I keep reading that he locked the jihadist in the cab, but it looks to me like the cabbie was in the cab during the explosion and then he jumps out. You can't lock a person into a cab that has just exploded.
Perhaps a taxi has door locks like for kids in the back seat.
Maybe to keep the fare until paid, maybe for safety of driver or passenger or others, or other reasons.
A good option to have, I would think.
On a lot of cars here in the UK, the doors don’t automatically lock when closed; but the driver and font seat passenger will have a central locking button. My guess is that the taxi driver locked the doors while they were both still inside; the bomber, not being familiar with the vehicle, couldn’t operate the control and attempted to set off the bomb inside the car. Having now seen the video, it didn’t detonate properly; he was incapacitated while the injured taxi driver was able to escape - either unlocking the doors or maybe the blast had forced them open.
If I’m correct, then the taxi driver desereves a medal.
He did not pay the correct cab fare.
Islamic terrorists are far more ruthless and dangerous than the IRA ever was. Eventually, the IRA was brought to the table because your average IRA terrorist didn’t really want to end up being shot by the SAS or serving life in prison. They were also restrained somewhat by the knowledge that going all out for maximum carnage amongst civilians wouldn’t have gone down well with all the useful American idiots in New York and Boston who were bankrolling them.
Islamists on the other hand don’t give a sht. They go all out for maximum body count and they are willing to die for Allah and there is no earthly way of deterring them. That is what makes them more terrifying. They think the more infidels they kill, the more their moon god will be pleased and reward them in the afterlife. You could reason to an extent with the IRA, you cannot reason with Islamic terrorists any more than you can with a wild animal.
Turns out the cretin who blew himself up, was an asylum seeker from Syria.
