You really are talking absolute donkey twaddle and quoting Einstein doesn't improve your argument either.

Are we supposed to be vetting every single Irish person in case they're a member of the IRA? Every white Christian in case they are part of the KKK? Political correctness has zero to do with it - it's about not tarring people with the same brush. This guy was British born so what would you like? Every British Muslim to be removed until we've decided who's dangerous and who isn't?

youre a dangerous person. everyone who arrives at our shores should be thoroughly vetted...everyone who leaves , especially to countries in the middle east should be thoroughly vetted...the 2 million plus illegal immigrants who have arrived in the past 20 years should be thoroughly vetted. the open borders across europe which do not checking at all should be closed. all of this protects us and secures our borders and makes it harder to go back and forth with wepaons with sick terrorist training and spreading this warped ideology

you can sit there and allow open borders and call everyone racist, that does nothing to protect us it makes is 100 times worse

[the truth]

I very much doubt they read the Jewish Chronicle, but let me, on behalf of all proud Mancunians (and that’s every single one of us), assure the murderous terrorists behind last night’s MEN Arena attack - you’ve no idea what you’ve just done.

It takes a certain level of revolting, inhumane, barbaric cruelty to target innocent men, women and children attending a pop concert. I don’t care how strongly you feel about your ideology or how zealously you believe in your cause. This isn’t political or religious. You were children. You may even be parents.

We, along with the rest of the world understand what your goals and ambitions are. We’ve had to endure them for decades now; in Jerusalem, London, Paris, Brussels, New York. Mumbai, Kabul, Bali and a tragically-long list of many many more.

You just don’t seem to get the simple fact that you achieve nothing other than to bring together the communities you seek to divide. Why can’t you see what the rest of us have always seen? We mourn, we heal, we rebuild, we come together. You’re just a forgotten statistic.

And I can tell you from experience, in no uncertain terms, you’ve messed with the wrong city.

Here’s what you need to know about Manchester. Yes it’s a city, but it’s a city that thinks like a town and feels like a village.

You want an example? This morning at 8am, in the only piece of comic relief of the day, my 67-year-old dad called to reassure me that he and my mum hadn’t been at the concert. I never had him down as an Ariana Grande fan, but still, I knew the call would come, and I was heartened when it did.

And there are so many more. As a school boy, if I was ever intimidated by anti-semitic thugs, I was always immediately rescued by strangers of all colours, races and creeds. Why? Because of the innate, unspoken understanding that we don’t tolerate that in Manchester. Not in our city.

Yes we’re sometimes tribalistic, rarely passive and always passionate, but the home of United and City is a city united. Always. And your cowardly stunt, at a pop concert full of children enjoying what should have been a highlight of their young lives will only strengthen that unity.

You think you’ve broken new barriers in Manchester? That you’ve expanded the poisonous cloud of fear to new frontiers? Are you daft!?

You forget the Blitz. You forget Warrington in 1993. You forget Manchester City Centre in 1996 - the biggest bomb detonated in Britain since the Second World War. You can’t even begin to fathom how resilient we are.

Some cities half as culturally and ethnically diverse as ours would have panicked, looking inwardly to finger-point. Not Manchester. We mourned, we healed, we rebuilt, we came together. And we will again.

We rarely talk about the 1996 attack. We don’t give its organisers the satisfaction. When we do, we joke that it’s “the greatest contribution the Irish have made to the North West”. And that’s about as Mancunian as you can get.

The IRA got a headline. Manchester got a brand new city centre, and with it a renewed sense of community and opportunity.

Oh, and even more backbone than we had before. Which is bad news for you.

Something else you need to know. We’ve turned profanity into an art form. There’s a poetry to our indignant pride. And so, on behalf of Mancunians everywhere, as well as the 99.9 per cent of humanity of all colours, creeds and religions who condemn your barbarism, let me just say - go ****** yourselves.

This is Manchester and you’re way, way out of your league.

Despicable and cowardly act. Courage and strength to the victims.

Devastating, shocking beyond words... I didn't hear the news until first thing this morning.

And I am ashamed, of all those attempting to make light of such a horrific event, or turn it into a war of politics and religion at a time in which Britain should be putting their differences aside.

[Redway]

Nasty news all round. I see people have already started blaming a whole religion for a small minority of extremists. Not a drop of bias or prejudice there at all.

NOBODY has done that. Youve simply made that up.

Bomber named as Salman Abedi - a Manchester-born "known to authorities". His family had recently moved back to Libya, apparently - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...e-bomber-know/

I think it's fair to say I'm one of the most anti-"DEPORT THEM ALL " members on here but why is it that, every time, it's someone "known to authorities"? What does that even mean any more, just a name on a pin-board?

They could have thousands of people "known to authorities" though, you can't actually do much until they actually do something though or you have proof that they're planning something.

Just goes to show that introducing the Investigatory Powers Act was a waste of time.
