Incident on London Underground

Witchie

Just saw on BBC News that there had been some sort of possible explosion on the underground. People apparently coming out with burns on their faces.

That was first link I saw.

Hope everyone is OK.

Do you think terrorists talk openly of their plans?

They have family members, neighbors who may have suspicions, may not pass on information. Someone in the neighborhood where the terrorists hang out saw something. Either way promoting violence and hate should not be allowed to be practised and be protected by human right laws.

The type of explosion that was to weak to break the train, so a fire ball travelled both ways , engulfing people within its flames. It's a nasty attacked, people are scarred for life, both physically and emotionally.

By associating I meant being involved in extremisim with your friend or sympathising with him, keeping secret his plans for an attack etc not just greeting each other on th street.

Internment worked really well in Northern Ireland, there were no repercussions whatsoever. That's why the troubles ended peacefully when it was introduced in 1971.

It didnt work in the north but worked really well in the republic in previous instances

You also said 'associating with known terrorists' - a lot of people would be known to authorities to have extremist connections or leanings be it Islamist, Republican, white supremacist or otherwise... but not to their neighbours. Yet you were advocating for these neighbours to locked up, no questions asked.

Like I said between this and trying to deport people to countries they are not from, you're really not thinking this through much.

I don't see why people have a problem with this? Take responsibility, people lives are at risk. Someone passing on information, to the police, could save lives.

If you hanging out with extremists maybe you should make new friends? Police are not going to arrest someone just for having a chat? If you're a real friend and you are aware, your friend is planning to hurt other people, and never said anything, this is different.

I am simply saying that if you are known and proven to be involved in extremisim or to be protecting those who then you should be punished.

Your trampling over people's civil liberties for virtually no increase on safety

This is just silly. Audrey, have you ever been friendly with another person? Well you might want to nip that kind of carry on in the bud, for fear of being thrown in prison for it.

Don't be stupid. I'm not talking about throwing people in prison simply for being friends with some-one. I am saying that if you and your friend/neighbour are shown to be involved in extremisim or that if you knew your neighbor was involved and did nothing you should be punished.

You realise extremism is a very broad term? If that law is enacted, we may as well throw all members of the Iona Institute into prison, not that I'd be against that mind.

Get off the stage

Here let it go, the poster saw wires hanging out of a device that exploded. You can make a guess like he did without being an expert on explosives.

That's along way different to rounding up large numbers and interning them

Surly you can wait until they've been convicted....which should be no issue if they are shown to be actively involved wit extremism??

To those who insist on putting down every suggestion made about how deal with extremists;

Instead of repeatedly ridiculing and shouting those of us who are trying to come up with ideas to fight back against these maniacs, maybe you could trying giving suggestions of your own?

As I said already the softly softly approach is not working and things cannot be allowed to remain as they are.

If you come out wit ridcolus and unrealistic suggestions.....don't complain when they are ridiculed? :pac:
