Labour should have adopted this policy, I think it's basically an inevitability anyway. It's just who gets use the huge influx of one time voters. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...t-a7733191.html "One million hours of police time are being wasted each year on policing the ban on smoking cannabis, the Liberal Democrats say. Research by the party drawn from official figures shows a total of 87,247 police caseloads relating to the drug were opened in 2015, with the average cost to the taxpayer per case estimated at £2,256. The estimate says that in total £31m was spent on 1,044,180 police hours."

This thread can really be aggressively terrible some times. Updates: "Police: sole attacker died at scene Chief constable Ian Hopkins says the attacker died in the explosion. He says that while police believe the man was acting alone in the attack last night, investigations are ongoing to establish if he was part of a network. He says police believe the man was “carrying an improvised explosive device, which he detonated causing this atrocity”.

Police: full statement Chief constable Ian Hopkins confirms that 22 people have died and a further 59 have been injured. This has been the most horrific incident we have had to face in Greater Manchester and one that we all hoped we would never see. Families and many young people were out to enjoy a concert at the Manchester Arena and have lost their lives. Our thoughts are with those 22 victims that we now know have died, the 59 people who have been injured and their loved ones. We continue to do all we can to support them. They are being treated at eight hospitals across Greater Manchester. This is a fast-moving investigation and we have significant resources deployed to both the investigation and the visible patrols that people will see across Greater Manchester as they wake up to news of the events last night. This will include armed officers as people would expect. More than 400 officers have been involved in the operation during the night. To remind you, we were called at 10.33pm to reports of an explosion at the Manchester Arena at the conclusion of an Ariana Grande concert. More than 250 calls came in and emergency services were very quickly on scene. Emergency numbers have been established for anyone who is concerned for loved ones who may not have returned home: 0161 856 9400 or 0161 856 9900. We have been treating this as a terrorist incident and we believe that while the attack last night was conducted by one man, the priority is to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network. The attacker, I can confirm, died at the arena. We believe the attacker was carrying an improvised explosive device, which he detonated, causing this atrocity. We would ask people not to speculate on his details or to share names. There is a complex and wide-ranging investigation under way. Our priority is to work with the national counter-terrorist policing network and UK intelligence services to establish more details about the individual who carried out this attack.

Grim: Charlotte Campbell’s 15-year-old daughter, Olivia, is still missing after the concert. She spoke to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, where she began by saying when she last talked to her daughter: She was at the concert. She’d just seen the support act and said she was having an amazing time, and thanking me for letting her go. She was with her friend, Adam. Adam was found about half an hour ago – he’s in hospital – but Olivia’s not been found yet. I’m at home phoning everybody: hospitals, police, the centres that the children have been put in. Her dad’s in Manchester looking for her. I’ve got friends looking for her. I’ve got people I don’t even know looking for her, people messaging me, saying we’ve got her photo, looking for her, we’ll get in contact if we see her. And I’m just hearing nothing. Her phone’s dead. Social media has been wonderful. I don’t know what I’ve have done without them, it’s made it so aware that she’s missing. There’s thousands of people who now know she’s missing, there’s people out looking for her I don’t know, and I can’t thank these people enough, giving their time up. They’ve basically told me to stay put and wait for a phone call. I daren’t leave the house just in case she somehow gets home.

It's exactly the same as people funnelling into football grounds it's just football matches already have heavy security. "Naively" I suppose people don't think some one would nail bomb a load of little girls and their parents but here we are. Twitter is loving heart breaking at the moment. Just loads of pictures/videos of excited faces about to have the happiest night with "missing" across them. Really loving grim.

Raid going down: Mr Hamed, who runs the Q2 management company, which maintains the buildings in the Whalley Range/Chorlton area of Manchester where a police raid is taking place in relation to the attack (see 12.40pm and 12.56pm), says a flat at the back end of the complex was raided close to the Spire Hospital. He was called to the building by a relative who lives in the flats. He said: "My daughter in law lives here and she rang me to say that police are here. All the people are living here are families. I can’t believe that. I did not know them personally but have a good number coming from outside the UK, like students, but we don’t have any people living on their own. It is not good news. We have students from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Libya and then families from Manchester. They are two-bed flats. They are from every race."

Injured had metal bolts in their bodies Relatives of a woman missing in the attack told South West News that victims were left with metal bolts embedded in their bodies. Paul Dryhurst’s niece Kelly Brewster, 32, is feared to have been killed when she visited the Arena with her sister Claire Booth, and Claire’s daughter Hollie, 11. All three were caught in the blast and Claire, 34 and Hollie were today being treated in hospital for horrific shrapnel wounds. Speaking from his home in Sheffield, Dryhurst Claire and Hollie were having bolts surgically removed from their bodies. The 59-year-old lorry driver Paul, said: “Kelly has shielded Hollie and Claire from the damage. “The three were walking out in single file, with Claire in front, Hollie behind her, and Kelly behind her. When the bomb has gone off the impact has broken Claire’s jaw and broken Hollie’s legs. They are both currently in hospital having nuts and bolts removed from all places. “Claire is having a bolt removed from her face and poor Hollie is having bolts removed all the way up her legs, to her bum, to her private parts.” He said his niece Kelly was still missing. Dryhurst said “After the impact Claire had gone to Hollie but when she looked up she couldn’t find Kelly. They lost her in all the commotion.” Paul added: “We’ve now not heard anything for so long and holding on to the old saying ‘no news is good news’ but the longer it goes on, the worse it feels.”

Is virtue signalling some thing that used to have a specific use and now is just meaningless through over/mis use? I google it and it seems to be from some spectator journo. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/10/i-invented-virtue-signalling-now-its-taking-over-the-world/ Did it used to refer to celebrities that would try and piggy back on charity causes or some thing? I know it now just refers to any one that has an even vaguely left of centre view point like "sjw"?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/25/manchester-bomb-same-explosive-paris-brussels-attacks-mike-mccaul The bomb detonated by the Manchester terrorist Salman Abedi used the same explosive as those in the Paris and Brussels attacks, a US lawmaker has said, pointing to a possible link to the same terrorist network. The chair of the US House’s homeland security committee, the Republican Mike McCaul, said the bomb suggested a “level of sophistication” that implied its maker or makers may have had foreign training. McCaul said the backpack carried by Abedi in Monday’s attack was loaded with TATP, the explosive used in the November 2015 attacks in Paris and the Brussels attack in March 2016 carried out by Islamic State extremists. He described it as “a classic explosive device used by terrorists”. TATP – triacetone triperoxide – can be made from household chemicals, but is unstable and unreliable. It was used in the 7 July 2005 attacks on London, but failed in an attack two weeks later. McCaul said the evidence known about the attack so far indicated “we’re not dealing with a lone wolf situation”.

I really thought my net would be down given the amount of trees/over head line around here but looking at that I escaped. I felt like one of those youtube videos of dogs hating thunder with a pillow over my head trying to sleep. I've never experienced a "lightening storm" or what ever that was. Normally you get just individual forks every now and then but this was constant with this really menacing rolling thunder.
