Islamic State supporters celebrated on social media on Tuesday after a blast at a concert venue in the north of England killed at least 19 people, although the militant Islamist group has not formally claimed responsibility.Supporters posted messages encouraging each other to carry out "lone wolf" attacks in the West and shared Islamic State videos threatening the United States and Europe.

One user said he hoped Islamic State was responsible for the attack, although no claim has appeared on any of the militant's group's official social media channels.

"We hope that the perpetrator is one of the soldiers of the caliphate," he wrote on a channel affiliated to the group hosted by messaging network Telegram

So no evidence then to support your claim "that we continue to let them in" at the time of your posting?

See it may turn out that some one from overseas was let in the UK & planted the bomb but you don't know that not did you know that. However you thought that you'd exploit the sad situation to meet your political ends - nice one Skids

Apparently the perpetrator is dead, so I guess we will know the answer soon.

Just no words, praying all my family are safe. Such a gutless act. I've wondered about the security at games too, big throng waiting to get searched. But how do you stop that! Bastard, may he/she rot in hell.

It is a ritual I do the same way every time.

We keep letting them in.... then they breed like rabbits, one of their charming offspring, who've been brainwashed since birth, carry out a terrorist attack... and you wanna call them a homegrown national?

Sorry, I just don't buy that line.

No you didn't know it at the time ,you just tried to exploit a sad situation based on speculation at the time of your posting. You've been busy on the net to back up your speculation. You should be ashamed of yourself being so brazenly opportunistic trying to score base political points resulting from the shocking deaths of so many. Disgusting & piss weak Skids - even for your standards.

The issue is not me Skids, the issue is your cheap opportunism.

^ what do you conclude from that perspective, MM ? That we should not feel grief about the willful slaughter of at least 22 children and the horrible maiming of many others in a peaceful town ?

Exactly right Mugwump.

The conclusion I draw is just how one sided things like this are. As an example, a search of the cholera outbreak in Yemen on this site yields zero results.

Well if it matters so much to you why haven't you posted about it then???

I'm almost certain you've missed my point.

No I have not!

I do understand that there is not the media or public interest in the diabolical situation in Yemen or the famine in South Sudan ( and that ain't getting any sympathy in Melbourne atm that's for sure!) etc etc etc. I'm also convinced that the Ebola breakout would have attracted little interest if there was not an uneasy fear it might spread to the West!

But I also understand that this atrocity happened in a city like ours and we can identify with that more readily.

You can care about more than one thing at a time you know and given the topic title it seems pretty reasonable for people to post their feelings about the Manchester atrocity in the Manchester thread!
