Yes , although  I've seen it back the other way too ....so I reckon it's even Stevens 

 

I've complained about the Sun and many, many others have too...That report was put up at 2.50 this morning, it's unbelieveable . Those young people had just been killed or injured and some critically injured 

which report was this dameee?

It was certainly a more * sophisticated * attack than so,e of the more recent incidents , that's for sure 

suicide bombers have always been the worry of all countries... I just can't get my head around why some people need to do this....those taxi drivers helping out last night were muslims, Manchester is a very multicultural city and most are warm lovely people...they don't care who they kill. But children and young teenagers...

but it doesn't help that they don't know what city they will target next and this bloke was known to them ...
