Each attendee should get a full refund of their ticket price AND a free ticket* to another concert of their choosing**. That way those who were kiled will not have died for nothing.

* Good only at the same location.
** Just in case the suicide bomber was a disgruntled Ariana Grande fan.

How something like this could happen in a country that has a moat around it I can't imagine. OTOH, a moat is not a wall.

Too soon?

Most, all? recent terror attacks are perpetrated by citizens/ resisdents.

ISIS radicalizes people at home via youtube etc, they are not agents sent in from outside any more, that's out dated rhetoric.

He was referring to how Trump's wall would prevent that from happening here, which is of course as ridiculous a premise as the channel would prevent it there.

So it's largely domestic terrorism. Those citizens/residents must be very unhappy with their home. You'd think BREXIT would have cheered them up by now. I guess you just can't please some people. All in all a small price to pay for personal freedom though. You don't want Britain to become like China.

Hark! An EU terrorist attacking the heartland of Brexit. It makes complete sense. Why did political spin doctors not know it first?
