That explosion last week we were assured was caused by a gas leak? Well,
it turns out it was actually another islamic terror attack!

Given that one of those charged is the shopkeeper, what makes you sure
there's not some other explanation, such as an insurance job?

I thought he was stated as being the building's owner. Doesn't mean he was
the shopkeeper.

Because the police (and Bob Eager) were *immediately* able to rule out
terrorism. ;-

The police did not immediately rule out terrorism. They simply said at
the beginning that they were not, at that time, treating it as a
terrorist attack, which is far from the same thing.

Indeed. But it always looked very much like a gas explosion. Which could
be a "genuine" accident, or an incompetent plumber, or some sort of
"inside job" for whatever reasons. Still doesn't smell to me much like
being jihadis, *or* right wing. Hence the initial police statement (and,
in the current climate, I'm all in favour of police presenting their
initial assessment as quickly as possible).

Oops just read some other posts. Is the current theory that it was a
still explosion? I've never looked at the chemistry, but there are
*lots* of stills around, and presumably plenty of illicit ones, but
explosions don't seem to be all that common. Obviously slightly more
likely if you are hiding one away in a basement.

And it certainly looked like there was a broken gas supply flaring away
for some time after the initial "bang".

It's just racism to assume that anyone with a Muslim name can't just be
an ordinary gangster. Let's wait and see.

I think you mean "Asian name". Islam is not a race, it's a religion.


This is true, but the names largely go with the religion, except for
converts. There are few if any "asian" names not mainly linked to a
particular religion. Having said that, I don't actually remember if
the subjects had Muslim names or not, I presumed you did!

Three men have been charged with manslaughter and arson over an
explosion in Leicester, not terrorism.

It wasnt you thick ****. They had a Still in the basement making vodka,
that exploded, the spirit stored down there then caught fire.
It wasnt a Polish shop either, that was **** reporting from the start,
the current owner bought it in December, did a minor refurb then opened
up again. It was a Polish owned shop before December.

But doesn't the proceeds of all crime fund terrorism - or have I been
watching too many Police propaganda TV programs?

You think he's just thick? But, surely anyone can understand The Sun? I
assumed it was a deliberate lie, although I couldn't see the purpose.

You're reinforcing a racist stereotype with that stupid remark. Not all
eastern europeans are making bathtub vodka and that smear is both
ignorant and offensive.

Two men from East Anglia remain in custody, while the charged
shopkeeper's (I think he's not the owner) girlfriend is due for trial
with two from Norwich for tobacco smuggling.

Dodgy fags and dodgy booze, similar contacts and fingers in pies?

FFS. The shop owner, and the others arrested, werent eastern european.
Read what I said again, the shop wasnt a Polish shop.
So how the **** is that ignorant and offensive?
Have you lost the ability to read, or is that being offensive to you?
Oh, to be sure, yes, I will be offensive, you're another thick **** who
cannot read properly.

spirits burning?

Well according to what I have heard, the actual cause was preparation to
blow it up due to some kind of feud between rival families, but either
something went wrong or possibly right, and it went up at the wrong time.
Unfortunately, many cultures bring their personal vendettas and wars with
them when they come here, and cause mayhem and destruction.

How you classify such a thing is up to you, but the problem is that rather
than starting with a clean slate and adopting the culture of the country
they are living in they abuse the privilege and carry on as if they were
back home, so to speak.There is I think mounting evidence that we need to
make sure people take on the uks rules and language. Problem is that
religion often causes issues that are hard to change attitudes about.
