Nail bomb in Tipton

what are you complaining about?

I used the word "lauding" (I think maybe I should have used 'lording' but that's irrelevant now as I've explained what I meant), which you automatically assume I have used incorrectly because you straight off ask me if I know the meaning. I reply that I don't, and that you are quite right I got the wrong meaning. However, even though you clearly know that I used the word incorrectly, you've then decided afterwards that you can have more fun asking me why I said the Guardian/Independent have 'praised' this attack when a) they haven't, and b) you know that I haven't said that.

I'm curious as to why you're going down this route? Bored?

I thought you were bored? I really don't know why you've kept this up onto the second page?

I got the word wrong, you pointed it out, I accepted it. That should have been it.

i wasn't bored to start off with but you've an unenviable ability to suck the life out of things.

And there's been two other attempts.

"West Midlands police are still investigating an explosion which occurred near a mosque in the Caldmore area of Walsall on 21 June.
The remains of a homemade explosive device were found on 22 June in an alleyway adjoining the Aisha mosque and Islamic centre in Rutter Street, Caldmore."

They've arrested people for the walsall one. A 74 year old bloke and then later a bloke his 20's irrc.
 
Losing the will to live here. Let's nail this. If there's a difference between right/left press reactions, not sure there is but anyway if there is then why. Sensationalism maybe? Sure there'll be a 'considered' piece in the Guardian soon.

Main thing though is who dunnit? Lone wolf? Conspiraspookery?

When I first saw that, it was the second news story on the Guardian site, it's now the fifth...

I think this is the most serious thing to happen in the country, it's so significant that somebody/people put a nail bomb outside a Mosque and detonated it. I just assumed this would be a huge news story but the BBC and Guardian apparently disagree and I find that really strange

tbh it's more like 'leaderless resistance' the way the radical / far right seems all the time to go for rather ineffectual nail bombs - more than coincidence, surely, that all the way back at least as far as copeland pretty much every bnper or similar who has been up to this sort of thing has been pissing about with nail bombs.

Strange, there's been a terrorist attack in this country and a fire on an unmanned plane is the main news story on the BBC? Even the Daily Mail has "Terror in Tipton" splashed across the top of its website (as do the other right wing news papers). Then I go to the Guardian and they have Snowden as the top story, and the Independent has some shit about the CIA using Harry Potter to torture someone as their main headline. I would have thought the right wing news would be playing down this attack and the left wing news would be lauding it up...have I missed something here?

I know what you mean.

I've been doing some work with the cricket on in the background but have a BBC ticker, and this is the first I've heard of this bollocks.

With nobody hurt this should spin positively for moderate moderate Muslims if they've been targeted by right-wing terrorist twats.

Oxygen of publicity maybe? If there'd been injuries/fatalities it would be leading all news agendas. Always difficult early on to tell how serious an explosion could have been. But yeah I get your point.

The Guardian and the Independent aren't left wing. They're just not as right wing as the others.

Hey come on I even said 'left' rather than left to keep everyone happy!

To be fair, it probably is sensationalism. The Sun and Mail are hardly a reliable source of news so maybe I'm being a bit harsh comparing their covering of this to the Guardian and Indy?
