What are your thoughts on the whole situation?


What should we do know? Have we brought this upon ourselves? etc etc

Glad everyone here is ok

my thoughts and love go to everyone

Personally, I beleive this is a wake up call 2 Britain!!!!

The UK can no longer adopt an "open house" mentality and let every immigrant, legal and illegal, in left, right and center!!! This country has been too complacent for years and years and now its time 2 toughen up!!!!

Personally, for a few years now I had a deep gut feeling something like this was gonna happen!! And, as various reports have said, it wasnt a case of IF its gonna happen, its WHEN!!!!! And yesterday was the WHEN time!!!!

There was even an incident down here in Poole, which is right next door 2 Bournemouth(in fact Bournemouth and Poole virtually merge 2gether 2 form one big city). There was a suspicious package, either at the ferry port or the train station!! The thing is many, immigrants, legal and illegal, enter the UK, through Poole!!

By the way, I am glad that many UK .orgers are fine and well and not badly affected by this horrendous event!!!

Danny is from Glasgow, so he should be fine, unless he was in London??

Disgraceful post, absolutely disgraceful. Tarring 99.9999% of people with the same brush as bombers is, frankly, outragoeus.

And who's to say they weren't born in the UK?

This horrible tragic event is going to trigger off kneejerk anti immigration feeling again, with no real justification or cause

There is no such thing as a "foreign" person, since we are all local to where we live and foreign to everywhere else...


There are, however, "good" and "bad" people. This is the only distinction any of us should concern ourselves with.

cosign ...I'm Aussie over here on a working holiday visa and I sure am glad this little immigrant was allowed into the country

EarthAirFireWater said:

I am sorry, we have no vegemite here....



will clotted cream scones and strawberry jam do instead..?

rocknrolldave said:

ah but I have a supply of vege with me and clotted cream scones and strawberry jam

EarthAirFireWater said:

Co-


Sorry to be flippant on such a serious thread, but at least it shows we can bounce back.

rocknrolldave said:

cosign again...threadjacking over

EarthAirFireWater said:

nah thats cool. but vegemite isnt

EarthAirFireWater said:

I dont mean people from safe countries!! I was referring 2 immigrants from all the "suspect" nations where all these terrorist cells operate!!

And just because these people are born and bred here in the UK, it doesnt mean they cant adopt the philosophies of Bin Laden, etc, here in the UK!!

And granted, yes there are good people as well as the bad, I am not saying that everyone is a terrorist!!

Gold319 said:

What the hell is a "safe" country?!


Spain and France? What about ETA, from the Basque area (which encompasses parts of both countries)?

Ireland? (Dur...IRA? UVF?)

USA? (Funding the IRA for decades - Who also bombed London in a similarly cowardly way)

Fuck me, even WALES has it's own separatist group!

NOWHERE is safe whilst bad people exist. Bad people will always exist to some extent or other. The only ways to protect against them is vigilance in your every day life and education: make sure that the children we bring into the world learn the correct values of good, truth and justice.

Locking your doors and hoping the baddies will stay on the outside would be OK if it weren't for one thing: IT DON'T WORK

rocknrolldave said:

Yep, very true.

we're spoon fed reasons for everything by the media & government, and sometimes miss the big picture

Walking down the street 2day n London

Eye felt my colour. Eye even felt my eyes lowering, avoiding eye CONtact with others. Eye was also n New York during 9/11. Eye felt the same.

Yes, eye am lucky 2 b able 2 go 'freely' wherever eye choose, but the events of yesterday make the danger of racially motivated attacks all the more closer 2 home. Thankfully, 4 the most part, London is a very cool city.

But it is tough 2 reconcile at times, this world we live n...

love

I'm sorry to hear that Anji...I hope you're alright

EarthAirFireWater said:

co-sign.

For what it is worth, as a white male born and bred in England. I feel pretty out of place and weird in London, so try not to take it to heart. All the best to you.

rocknrolldave said:

Sorry to hear that Anji. Hold your head high man.

Hey guys, it's all cool with me, but thanks nevertheless.

Bsides, if eye sense n e real danger, eye imagine eye'll just scream out, "U sexy muthafucka!" followed by thrusting an imaginary gun microphone from between my legs.

That should throw off n e attackers enuff off 4 me 2 b able 2 run 2 safety.

Anji said:

good point

Gold319 said:

forget it.

Gold319 said:

Why do you think this incident was limited to immigrants you stupid woman, there are many people living in this country who would happily carry out such a horrendous attack.

Anji said:

Uhhhh Ohhhhh!
Be very careful - if Gold319 picks up on this she may conclude that
a pattern is emerging here!!! Plus if she concludes that youre not from a "safe" country you could be in BIG trouble!!!



Dude - hold your head high, be proud!!!

Did some guy down at the job center tell your husband this too??
Or did you read it in the Sun?
