A car has driven into the terminal building at Glasgow airport and caught fire. More follows...

The populace is surely going to rise up and act in response to these acts.
Cars of German make and German businesses got rocks thrown at them when England lost to West Germany in the 1990 World Cup.
I know Asians have lived in England for a long time, back to the ‘50s at least.
But like in Holland, there may be some backlash.
To an extent there already have been incidences in the past.
So, one of the bombers had a device strapped on. A bit of sophistication here.
But he did say, when asked where the explosive device was located, that it was “on his person”.
Well yeah!
The police chief would not characterize the type of device found, but he did acknowledge that the suspicious device was found on the suspect’s person.
These terrorists seem to be good at making incendiary devices but suck at making bombs.
When and where will the 4th incident be?
My point was, who cares if it was a belt or a vest...it’s not a fashion show. They blow up just the same. Not sure why he wouldn’t say whether it was a vest or not but did say it was on his person.
Uncensored, a free for all; but still rather straight forward is the football forum (seeing “little green footballs” mentioned so often here) for the West Ham United Football team.
You can see these folks talking about all this stuff; though the language is strong, one can get a fair pulse of what people are saying.
I don’t know if the West Ham area, Boleyn, Upton Park is anywhere near where the Tiger Tiger is.

Sorry if already posted.
I don't know about sophistication. The perp had explosives on his person, got caught on fire, flames from head to toe per one witness, and still was not blown to smitherins.
Also reported that this same perp put up a struggle, took multiple individuals to take the nutjob down.
Go figure!
Mark Levin may be off next week....FYI
Remember this jackass who was at the demonstrations in London of Moslem heritage who was wearing the suicide bombing belt??
They’ve got radicals there; and they should these radicals back to their home countries.
Pakistanis can be radical because we knew of one here; it is the way they are brought up.
In other words the "how to" info is available to anyone.
I do not see how the Brits put up with the extreme reticence of authorities to give any information relating to any criminal activity.
I believe it is the case that even in hideous murders the public might not even know that the crimes had happened until any trials or over...at least that is my understanding. Perhaps someone can enlighten me further.
This was posted earlier...it’s so good, I have to post it again....

Al Qaeda`s Iraq Tactics Now In UK
Reuters
The foiled car-bomb plot in London shows al Qaeda has imported the tactics of Iraqi and Indonesian militants to Britain, the prime minister’s top terrorism adviser said on Saturday.
“Make no mistake, this weekend’s bomb attacks signal a major escalation in the war being waged on us by Islamic terrorists,” John Stevens, the former commissioner of the London police, wrote in an article to be published in the News of the World newspaper on Sunday.
“Initially it was believed the main problem police faced was insulated groups of home-grown extremists. But now it is clear a loose but deadly network of interlinked operational cells has developed.
“The terror of July 7 (2005) was awful enough, but now al-Qaeda has imported the tactics of Baghdad and Bali to our streets. And it will get worse before it gets better.”
Stevens’ assessment follows the thwarting of a twin car-bomb plot in London on Friday, when police found two vehicles loaded with fuel, gas canisters and nails parked near a night club in the busy heart of the capital.
The bombs were defused but police said that if had they detonated they could have killed scores of people.
Then on Saturday, a four-by-four vehicle rammed into the terminal at Glasgow airport and exploded, prompting Britain’s Home Office to raise the national security alert level to “critical”, indicating further attacks are expected imminently.
Witnesses described those in the vehicle as “Asian men” and one said he was sure they were intent on carrying out a “terrorist act”. The two men were arrested.
London’s top counter-terrorism officer said the planned attack bore similarities to another plot, uncovered in 2004, in which an al Qaeda militant planned to detonated gas-fuelled bombs hidden in limousines across London.
The rash of incidents comes nearly exactly two years after the July 7th attacks, when four suicide bombers carried out coordinated blasts on London’s transport system, killing 52.
Stevens said there was the possibility that al Qaeda “Mr. Bigs” were operating in Britain and said the seeds of Muslim terrorism had begun to sprout.
“The involvement, influence and even leadership of al Qaeda veterans both from abroad but also now on the ground in Britain has grown significantly,” he wrote.
“It is a sign of the new maturity and sophistication of al Qaeda in Britain that they have moved to this car bomb style campaign.”
Stevens said anti-terrorist police and the domestic security agency MI5 would have to work hard to follow the links in the chain before more militants struck again.
“And make no mistake — strike again they will,” he wrote.

Even tanks for a while after the boyos lobbed grenades onto the runway area.
Ha too funny. That’s about it.
