There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed
flesh. It sounds like a chemical reaction. We can but hope it's not
"the religion of piece" proselytizing.

If it is terrorism then it'll almost certainly be down to followers of the
peaceful not in any way militant religion of islam.

It does appear to be terrorism.

Yes.

And they've now made an arrest, in Dover.

Don't these bombers realise that with all the surveillance videos,
they're going to get caught?

I dunno why youse guys in the UK aren't (constantly?) up in arms over
the seemingly massive surveillance you appear to live under.


If anything, people seem to want more of it, as they feel safer with it.


And 'they' don't really think/consider beyond, as to how it affects
their individual right to unobserved movement.

The state (in Canaduh anyway) has no right to know where I might or
might not be.

And please don't launch the "if you've done nothing wrong, you have
nothing to fear" defence at me.


Why not? It's exactly what most people think.


That's a surrender to un-involved citizenship. Big word:
acquiescence.



To an outsider, watching your exports of TV programming involving
fictional crime (e.g. the rather ancient series 'Scott and Bailey')
suggests that a mind-boggling Big Brother watch-it has been around for
more than a few years.


Yes, it's been around for many years.


Sad.

Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world
follows.


Interestingly, the crime rate in Canaduh has been dropping for
decades.


What's with your unfunny misspellings? They just make your posts less
readable.

This latest Parsons Green case seems to be an example where it paid off.
That may well also happen with the homicidal bridge jogger.

Yes, it's been around for many years.

But instead of the early grainy, very low res, fuzzy, extended play VHS
images on worn-out tapes, it's now HD quality, sharp, clear, digital
images. Perhaps some are now 4k video quality?

How many would sir like ?
https://www.cctvcameraworld.com/4k-ip-cameras.html

They can now also be centrally monitored and stored for much longer. And,
in some cases, the images are automatically computer-scanned for car number
plates (ANPR) and known faces.

Your time will come: this is one area where Britain leads and the world
follows.

Seen a picture of the device on twitter with wires hanging out.

the device had a timer (apparently)


Which, apparently is a first for jihadi nutters if it is so.


But not for Irish nutters.

Or US nutters, the construction apparently being similar to the Boston
Marathon bombings :-

or just plain home grown nutters who like killing people for some
vague reason.

I wonder how widely installed those are? Most installed cameras are well
behind the state-of-the-art.

At around 200 squid a time possibly roughly the same good/bad quality
spread among users applies as before when it seemed to be "TV" quality
v. something cheaper ?

Trying to get on a ferry?


OOI

assuming that he is the actual wanted person and not just some random
person of the correct ethnicity (as in - the Birmingham Six)

I wonder if they identified him as a potential suspect:

a) from a name
b) from facial recognition
c) his general demeanor
d) a failed attempt to travel on false documents

anything else?

tim



I think police methods are now far more sophisticated.

Yes, Bad Things happen... but the occurrence relative to overall
population ain't growing.

Perception of safety, at least in my and general observation in our
major urban areas, is stable or improving... and remember, we're a
welcoming, multi-cultural society.

And well policed. Stephen Pinker cites a police strike in Montreal
where there were bank raids on the first day and a provincial policeman
was attacked.

And my money's on some jihadi ****er. We shall see.


An uncle of mine was an army officer and did time against Christian
terrorists in Cyprus.


One would expect that an uncle, were he such, would be yours!

Maybe, he was just one of your uncles.

Yes, the other is still alive and in a bad way. Please don't make fun.
