You also have the time of day that it happened matching up with when people are sat around trying to avoid doing work and watching live news feeds on the internet, something happening in Canada is less likely to be occurring live on the 24 news feed in Ireland at a time of day when people are awake to tweet about it.

wes wrote: » Just pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the right, when it comes to terror from within there own ranks. Plenty of the right happy to blame Muslims in general, while ignoring or down playing terror, from there own extremists. Go check how many pages, there were on the attack in Canadan by a far right terrorist on AH (19) compared to 87 on this one. The only difference between the 2 attacks being the terrorists ideology.

So quite clear that the location being London was the reason for the fast moving thread rather than who did what. Yes, the nature of the attacker when it became clear in Canada may have caused less people to post as posters were then all in agreement that a right wing nut job was a right wing nut job so there was no longer any point in arguing over religion or extremists from within that religion.

The reactions may have been 'major' though. *and I stress, that is not meant to lessen the grief and strife of the victims.

Well, for a kick off, Michael Adebowale's Mother is a probation Officer and his father worked for the Nigerian High Commission. Any proof that all of the other parents were all unemployed?

They won't because even though you don't see it, it is a protection of your civil rights too. Ad hoc internment is just the stupidest wrongheaded way to go.

If your living in London as your adopted city and your hiding behind your curtains this morning in fear, then you had better come home to your mother because if you think that there's going to be some kind of concentration camps set up to put all the Muslims in just because your nervous then your going to be very disappointed. London will remain as it ever was. A free democratic city where all the different cultures exist, maybe not in perfect harmony, but with the acceptance that if you want to live there it will be in a civilised fashion where nobody has sn advantage over anyone else because of their colour or creed.
