Let’s hope for the best, please keep speculation and allegation slinging to a minimum as news comes in.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families involved.
Oh shit, maybe ”ISIS” again, another sleeping cell type assassin, or lone wolf, or was it another nutcase with a grudge?
Some here will blame the UK secret service of course, “false flag” anyone?
Of course. Farage (UKIP) didn’t even wait till the bodies were cold before saying this was a “wake up call”. I dunno what he wants to wake up from and do but I can guess it’s probably exactly what groups like ISIS want us to do. Instead of showing solidarity and calm in the face of terror people like him want us to massively over-react and start lashing out at muslims in response.
But nah
I bet it will have been a person with serious mental health issues, who may have felt isolated in the not always friendly UK Manchester society, and who was easy prey for whatever radical manipulator to kill him- or herself and too many others.
Dafaq? My girls went to an Ariana concert
It will be very hard to stop ‘lone wolf’ attacks – the ever increasing ‘big brother’ surveillance in countries counts for very little with these sorts of attacks.
Idk about how hard it is to stop all this. Remember all this kicked off because BP was givining shia police commanders in Iraq cash to arrest hostile Sunni. Turned out one pf those sunni was a top IS commander with a treasure trove of finnancials worth 800 million in oil and cash given as a parting gift when the US pulled there dick out.
So, it makes sense that if the coalition of the always willing is up for they would remove all irritants and i guarantee this all vanishes in one news cycle
A very tragic event. Thoughts go out to the victims, their families and friends.
Let’s hope the UK politicians don’t make a meal out of this, for political gain.
What a sick society we live in, when individuals and groups having no love or consideration of their country or countrymen, are so willing to randomly kill in the name of a deity or some irrelevant ideology that most folk couldn’t give a shit about,I wish those that want to make a political or personal statement could express their emotions on themselves. I would certainly have a modicum of respect for them if they did.Just cowardly bunch of attention seeking shit heads.

Check out the Kim Dotcom tweet re his involvement in the DNC hack Wikileaks and Seth Rich.
The Manchester attack happened shortly after and this rather important revelation seems to be missed.
Also reported in the Daily Mail about 12 hours before attack as a conspiracy theory.
Seth Rich is tricky. I been to the area in Wasghington DC where he was shot on the streets on his way home from work late one night. He was a pariah in the DNC by then so he was on punishment duties.
Any superviser that held him back late at night surely new the risks of walking through one of the most violent areas in america for shooting deaths. Its like giving a mouse cheese. Young white male middle class male walks through ghetto during race riots!
Dafaq
It was either a false flag attack from the GCHQ U.K /CIA or it was blowback from the many U.K. state Terrorist criminal attacks on Afghanistan,Iraq.Libya,Yemen and Syria.If you throw a brick through a neighbors window you can hardly whine when they throw it back !!!
“It was either a false flag attack from the GCHQ U.K /CIA …”
Here we go again, Pete you have outed yourself, thanks for that.
How many false flag attacks does the U.S.Empire and Nato lackeys have to do before you pay attention?Shall we start with the Gulf of Tonkin incident in the Vietnam war that the U.S. admitted[ Secretary Mcnamara admitted to it on T.V and apologized to the nation]and then work our way forward ?
Sorry, Pete, in my humble view you have lost credibility now, given that particular comment, and previous ones, I cannot bother going onto even new territory, good luck.
COME ON – YET AGAIN – WHERE IS MY COMMENT
submitted many days ago ? ? ?
Must have sunk deep into the bog.
So an isolated, disturbed, easy prey kind of radicalised individual at a young age committing a horrific atrocity leads to even further infringements of personal freedom to communicate via the internet again?
It makes the G7 sound like the ‘Sensible Sentencing Trust’ on a global scale:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-g7-summit-terrorism-idUSKBN18M259
“The world’s seven major industrialized nations on Friday ramped up pressure on internet service providers and social media to increase efforts to purge extremist content, four days after an Islamist suicide bomber killed 22 people in Manchester.
Western governments have accused major internet companies of not doing enough to stop groups such as Islamic State promoting violence on social media or taking more responsibility for the impact of material posted on their sites.”
I am also concerned about ISIS still able to send messages via the web, but are they really succeeding to radicalise people that way, or are there not rather other forces at play?
We can expect even more censorship and surveillance, as any mention of the wrong word may instantly get the GCSB and SIS to pay attention to what you do online, and keep an eye on you.
They have failed to stop the Manchester attack, and many other ones, as the web is hardly the way the persons committing these terrorist crimes communicate much. There is also the Dark Net, and to this day, the best security services have only limited powers to control that part of the internet.
As end users we will face more surveillance and data gathering by providers forced to collaborate with governments, and the chilling effect will go further than what is meant to be stopped.
