Explosion Flattens Shop and Apartment in Leicester

As of right now, there's not a lot of details beyond "Neighbors heard big boom, building just pancaked." I guess the shop on the first floor was a "Western Park Store", whatever that is, with apartments above.

So...what are the odds some wannabe Jihadis pulled a Weather Underground and blew themselves up while failing their chemistry exam?

"The shop, Western Park Store, which is sandwiched between TJs takeaway and Morgans bar, has a bus stop in front of it."

Still doesn't get us any closer to figuring out what the gently caress they sell at the "Western Park Store".

Like, we don't have a "Shitburn Heights Store" here.

It's a dumb name for a store. Looks like some sort of grocery or convenience store, upon further googling.

Like, "Western Park Grocer" would be more sensible.

Well it is Leicester, so clearly it was an attempt for the most radical Diwali fireworks display for this year gone terribly wrong.

Also c'mon, are none of you familiar with England, if it has a confusingly boring name it is probably a small grocery store catering to a very tiny local audience.

We need to increase the amount of explosions in public to prevent this sort of thing from happening! Everyone of legal age should be required to explode.

Actually, the ban on large purchases of pseudoephedrine basically made manufacturing unviable, so the cartels stepped in and started ordering it by the container ship full from China, manufacturing it in clandestine labs in Mexico and then trafficking up to the US.

Just one more example of burdensome regulations pushing American jobs to other countries!
