    Odd.

    Here is another upload of the same video (from 0:03 to 0:16). It is definitely genuine. Taken from a car park on Beswick Row.

      The worrying thing about this, is that I suspect that it was a terrorist attack yet the security forces will come out with what they keep saying about other terrorist attacks, in that they knew of the person but that they had either dropped off of the radar or were not deemed to be particular dangerous. This always makes me wonder how many more other lunatics are out there that the security forces know of but are not bothered about...
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        According to the beeb they're arresting one a day on average.

        The fact one escaped isn't surprising, but the fact it was one with explosives rather than just a truck and a kitchen knife is very disturbing.

          Terrible news, and of all the concerts to choose as well knowing what the audience profile would have been.

          As far as Islamist suicide bombers are concerned, the more innocent and vulnerable their victims the better. Kill people's loved ones, especially children, and you inflict pain for decades.

          It is odd. BBC had the footage as well.

          Those who don't drop off the radar, or are deemed dangerous, don't get to carry out their plans. Woman arrested after being shot by police - BBC News

            flags at half mast at clientco driving in this morning. Choked me up to see that. Horrific news, utterly tragic.

              Absolutely awful.....

              Time to step things up. Don't tell me this guys friends/family etc had no idea. If they can prove anyone else knew about this - take them into the street and shoot them in the back of the head.

              I don't buy this "one or two nutters things". When was the last time the "community" or religious group dobbed in one of their members. Be interested to see this. Too much turning a blind eye for my liking.

                Bastard Radio 4. I was alright listening to the politicians repeating the usual platitudes about "thoughts and prayers" but when they started interviewing some of those at the scene and the parents (damn you, Imran from Leeds. That was so moving) had me in bits.

                  Why target so many young people? Poor things, may the rest in peace.

                  Mi5 was recently reported as foiling a number of attacks, wasn't that true? Guess it was only a matter of time before one slipped through.

                    Best not to speculate. The police will have every resource imaginable to work this case as hard and fast as they can.

                      Speculation is your forté is it not? Had this happened in the EU somewhere you'd be the first to condemn policy of Germany or Sweden. Look forward to reading about your condemnation of UK foreign policy.
