Liverpool bomb incident 14/11/21

According to that article there one theory is he was planning to walk from the hospital to the cathedral and blow himself up in the midst of the congregation. Seems feasible. And very three lions.
 
I know this has probably been covered - and I'm sure the cabbie is a good guy - but cab doors are always locked until the fare is paid. I'm not 100% sure 'hero' applies here, just really really lucky.
No they're not. I was in a black cab once, I paid, then the slimy cunt hit the button, locked me in and started shouting about how women are all slags.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe it's just because I look dodgy or something but they always seem to keep the door firmly locked until the deal is done. I've not taken a black cab in a long time though thankfully with the advent of Uber.

They're certainly not in London. Most of us get out of the cab and pay the driver through the front passenger window. A cab driver once told me that he knows the Londoners when they do that. Only people unused to using black cabs try to squeeze their money through the hole in the screen.

Well I live in London, I don't use cash!

Watching the footage it looks like the taxi brakes quite suddenly to stop and at that point the explosion occurs, maybe the sudden lurch of the vehicle caused the device to go off prematurely.
 
Then you've either never used back cabs, or are fortunately young enough to have only used them in the last 10-15 years or so because they haven't all taken cards for much longer.

Passengers are never locked into black cabs.

I always have been. You've either got a very trusting face or me and my mates look like a bunch of reprobates. But they never unlocked it until the transaction's complete IME.

Are you sure it's not the safety lock? You can't open the door until that disengages and the light goes out but that's a motion detector that stops dickheads opening the doors when the car is moving. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to disengage after the cab stops so it feels like you're locked in if you try to open the door a bit soon.
 
I'm normally waving a note at them as they come to a stop (non black cab though) so never noticed them being locked.

This could quite possibly be true. Although I still wouldn't let me out until I had paid the bill if I was a cabbie.

:D

I think it's just that you've got used to paying whilst sat inside and thinking the doors are locked. Give it a go next time and try the door. You'll find it's not locked!
 
I’m laughing at the individual urban cabbie scenes now. Two sheds getting a note out and waving it while the cab is in motion, Petcha frantically trying to open the door while the safety lock is on and Spy strolling round to the front window with the confidence of a Genuine Londoner TM
And who would be running behind the black cab shouting: ‘You are all cunts!’?
 
I'm fairly sure the last time I rode in a black cab, the doors locked automatically when it moved and automatically unlocked when it stopped. I imagine the driver may or may not be able to override it.
I always get out first before I pay and then pay the driver through the front passenger window.
 
Even when it’s pissing down?
Makes no sense to me to get out into a gale with hail stones raining down to fumble in your pockets when you can simply pay whilst remaining in the cab.
I've never got out of a cab when it's been raining or pissing it down so the situation has never arisen perhaps if I ever find myself in that situation I will pay whilst still in the cab. There's no particular motivation for me doing what I do, it's just habit that I am sure I could break if ever the need arose.
 
Police" s lack of comprehension as to the why?

Be quite nice, if they could make to the end of their enquiries , as rigorous as you like, without finding reason in suicide bombing hospital
Bomber bloke has been named as Emad Al Swealmeen A Cunt.
Fixed that for you.
