Jesus Christ... Really... try to find your news from something other than social media.

livia im truly sorry you have had this happen to you, for the family of this soldier they will be devastated and for anyone who has lost a loved one thru being murdered.
but we live in a dangerous world.
the images of these events are not under any ones control anymore, and I cant see it changing.

no, we have seen many of these crimes now, and the sad thing is it wont be the last.

The EDL are a strange bunch .I watched one being interviewed last night complaining about muslim women wearing the burka whilst he was wearing a balaclava

Looks like there's a Cobra meeting this morning. :suspect:

I find your lack of empathy sad

Really appropriate post Livia and full of fact and sensitivity too. I agree with all you have said.
For me, since this barbaric murder was made known last night, all I can think of is the truly horrific end to his life this Soldier had but to also just try to think too how his family must be feeling.

If this were my Brother, cousin friend or for that matter even anyone I just knew,I haven't a single idea how I would start to cope with this.
For his family it must now be a long running living nightmare of the worst possible scale.

(Shark Attack put feeling nauseous in their post above, that is also very appropriate,I feel that every time as more and more of this horror is made known).

Really strong thoughtful post Livia,very well said.

The men - one of whom has been named as Michael Adeboloja - were arrested
following the hacking to death of a serving soldier in the
street in Woolwich, southeast London.
Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt
said Adeboloja is a 28-year-old Londoner of Nigerian descent.

This man is just the type recruited into extremist groups easily influenced, disaffected angry young men.
They can then be coerced into acts of terrorism, this is the problem today, the 'enemy' could be anywhere in any guise.

Loose women debate it live now

I would rather gouge out my eyes with rusty spoons than watch that.

come on Kizzy

Janet Street Porter has a fair view

Same. Make that red hot, rusty spoons in fact

at least they talked about it

She used to be great...but even she is as bland as them now.

Concerned parents, a comfortable home, a good school - where did it all go wrong for Adeboloja?

* OFSTED :

“The school effectively promotes students’ personal development, which results in a positive, inclusive school environment where staff and students work very well together……Students of all backgrounds get on well together because the school ethos effectively promotes tolerance and understanding…..Good relationships between students and between students and staff, good teacher subject knowledge and focused intervention for students falling behind in their learning are raising attainment”.

WTF has the guys school got to do with anything? The 9/11 bombers were graduates.

Extremism is not only the practice of the poor and uneducated.

I don't think this was part of an 'organised' terrorist plot, the fact it is so shocking is it has that 'amateur' feel to it.
A suicide bomber targeting buildings and planes we are aware of and are prepared for, these random acts of murder we are not.
COBRA will want to know how likely it is for this type of violence to happen again.

I also mentioned parents and home ..... :rolleyes:

An interesting take on the events

He isn't saying he was poor or uneducated, he was radicalised at a impressionable age... brainwashed, this is how they work to infiltrate the UK.

Yeah. We get it dude. No wonder he done this. He's Nigerian :o
