    Guy on BBC Radio 5 Live was near the scene of the blast and his wife was injured. He described "nuts and bolts" strewn around afterwards which suggests a nail bomb.

    If it is terrorism, it just adds to the massive increase in attacks over the past 2 years. It's getting worse.

    At what point does it have to get to, to realise that letting in all these people has been the most idiotic thing Europe has ever done. It's not working, and it will never work. Multiculturalism is self destructive when people don't want to integrate. Western values just aren't compatible.

    People will still defend the indefensible and spineless politically correct politicians who bent over backwards to accommodate these tragedies. Sadly I fear the seed has already been set.

    Also WTF is with the people saying they suspect people of wishing it was Islam, people are dying, f?ck you and your stupid leftist values.

    Edit: Fox reporting British police are reporting it as terrorism.

    Tbf....

    Paris attacks were by french and belgian muslims

    Brussels airport by belgian muslims.

    ...

    The troubled ones are aready here...



    An easy way to spot them imo is a simple question...

    (Im from belgium btw)

    The more radical muslims i know despite being 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants still call themselves turks or morrocans or tunisians or pakistani or ....

    The less radicals call themselves belgian-turks/morrocan/...

    The moderate ones seem to describe them selves as belgian or brittish/english.

    Whatever raids and follow-ups over the next few days should have no usable bodycam footage.

    Shocking stuff.

    Really hope it was a bomb but looking more likely as the night goes on.

    It's fundamentally a political act, Islamist extremist style, it's just business. It's main aim is to sow divisions & engender hatred of the Muslim community, which will then make them more susceptible to Islamist ideology, thus legitimising & growing the Islamists cause. Beware in aiding them.

    The USA let foreigners in from the 1800's and I don't see terrorist attacks all over the place over there.

    Hopefully the nailbomb suggestions aren't true. That has IRA written all over it.
