It's not ridiculous to be concerned about the high numbers of young men who are entering the country about whom we know absolutely nothing. This bomber was not the first terrorist to receive care and support, pretend he was integrating into society, even converting to Christianity, all the while deviously plotting to kill innocent people. We have no idea who these people are arriving on our shores, or what their intentions are.

I was just jumping to conclusions tickingbird. Everyone else can do it, why not me?

And obviously it's ridiculous. Just like many other things that people say on here. Difference is, I know it.

Some policemen rape and murder women. Stop having policemen, I say. It's just common sense.

If I could be bothered and had the time I’d Google the statistics. However, I can’t and I don’t but those of us on here that do possess common sense do know one is much higher than the other.

How can anyone want to plant a bomb anywhere?

That's the scary thing.
Remember the UK National Threat Level has now been raised from substantial to SEVERE. I'm guessing they suspect an attack is highly likely.

There is so much hatred in some people. You can ask that question of anyone who plans and makes a bomb in order to kill and maim. I do not know this man's background but many men in his culture treat women as second class citizens. Was that why a maternity hospital was targeted? Some reports say he was a failed asylum seeker but had stayed in the UK for several years after his claim was rejected. How was he able to do this? Don't the authorities make sure that someone not entitled to live here gets deported? That is one reason why people are concerned at the numbers of migrants reaching our shores. The UK has no effective Border Control and sifting through these people takes far too long. Common sense has to tell you that amongst those coming here for a better life there must be a percentage who are anti-UK.

Well said.

It's beyond imagining isn't it. Thank heavens he was unsuccessful.

How can an individual stoop so low to want to bomb a maternity hospital?
I am talking, in this instance, of The Women's Hospital in Liverpool.
