  1. 🤷‍♂️facts, you can try as hard as you want but they speak for themselves. but the BHOAC back in around 2012/13 were concerned more about the rise of RW terrorism than any other organisation. Well they got that very very wrong didn’t they to say the least. 🤷‍♂️
  2. Turns out the terrorist was on a rape charge too, suprised the site rape expert missed that one, but then again 🤔
  3. There have been two fatal far-right terrorist attacks in the UK in recent years, versus how many ?? . Attacks June 2016: Thomas Mair murdered Labour MP Jo Cox in West Yorkshire. The far-right extremist shot and stabbed the MP, shouting "Britain First" during the attack. June 2017: Darren Osborne deliberately drove a van into a crowd of Muslim worshippers near Finsbury Park Mosque in North London, killing one man and injuring twelve others.
  4. Unless of course the police are wrong and two people on an arb forum know better. How’s the answer to Mr Bolams question coming along “ Steven”.
  5. I condemn them all unfortunately there are far more by a huge margin coming from those following the religion of peace. Prove me wrong 🤷‍♂️
  6. I read it you quoted the one guy I quoted the many
  7. 🤔You really want to go there, you can stick the Southport killings in there too. Since 2005, major terror attacks by Islamic extremists in the UK have caused over 100 fatalities . The deadliest incidents were the 2005 London bombings and the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. Notable attacks by year 2005: 7/7 London bombings Deaths: 52 victims, plus the four bombers. Target: The London public transport system during the morning rush hour. Details: Coordinated suicide attacks struck three London Underground trains and one double-decker bus. The bombers were British citizens inspired by al-Qaeda. 2013: Murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby Deaths: 1 victim. Target: British Army soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, London. Details: Two Islamic extremists ran Rigby over with a car before attacking him with a knife. The attackers were sentenced to life in prison. 2017: Westminster attack Deaths: 5 victims, plus the attacker. Target: The area around the Houses of Parliament. Details: An Islamist extremist drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before crashing and stabbing a police officer. It was the first attack to cause multiple fatalities since the 2005 bombings. 2017: Manchester Arena bombing Deaths: 22 victims, plus the assailant. Target: An Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena. Details: An Islamic extremist suicide bomber detonated a nail bomb at the end of the concert. The incident caused more than 1,000 injuries and was the second-deadliest terror attack in the UK since 1970. 2017: London Bridge and Borough Market attack Deaths: 8 victims, plus the three attackers. Target: Pedestrians on London Bridge and patrons in the nearby Borough Market. Details: Three attackers used a van to hit pedestrians before getting out and stabbing people in the market. The perpetrators were shot dead by police. 2017: Finsbury Park attack Deaths: 1 victim, a man who had collapsed before the attack. Target: Muslim worshippers near a mosque in Finsbury Park. Details: A man drove a van into a crowd of people. Though the attacker was motivated by far-right views, the incident was initially listed on a timeline of events that included Islamic extremist attacks. 2019: London Bridge stabbings Deaths: 2 victims, plus the attacker. Target: Members of the public near London Bridge. Details: A man, who had been convicted of a previous terror offense, stabbed several people at an event before being shot dead by police. 2020: Reading stabbings Deaths: 3 victims. Target: People in a park in Reading. Details: A man with a known history of terrorism-related activity attacked people with a knife. What the above would indicate is that the indigenous population of the UK is a far more tolerant and welcoming society than those whom come here and follow that religion of peace we hear so much about and pander too. A ratio.of 100-1 🤷‍♂️
  8. Nope that’s a proper mess by the sounds of it, and if confirmed something that has to be lived with. But as you say until those with certain beliefs or ideology stop the indiscriminate violence and killing then these things can tragically happen.
  9. No I’ve not been Andy Im just actually popping down to see him now, vessel he’s on is in Aberdeen sheltering for Storm Amy coming in. I think anyone but more likely it will be tourists, accommodation he is building is spot on.
  10. I’ve no doubt it is but as I said they are trained for it and why would they be in any way negatively affected by putting a murdering scum bag down. Mark most people whom take on roles where carrying a firearm is involved are fully aware that at some point they may have to use it. Stick to the ROE and you are covered, seems they did that, job well done, all the training worked. Cost of a couple of 5.56 as you say, far better than years in jail.
  11. Very very surprising outcome. Not much comes out of Finland that is not well put together and thought out.
  12. That’s what they are paid for and trained to do. I’d imagine he will sleep well tonight once the adrenaline subsides.
  13. As Starmer said a vile individual. Both of you seem to be avoiding the elephant in the room. And no there’s wrong with him seeing swift justice.
  14. The suspect in the attack on the Manchester synagogue has been named as Jihad Al-Shamie. The 35-year-old is a British citizen of Syrian descent. So bloody predictable Mark, more arrests made too. Not the first nor will it be the last.
  15. One things it’s not and that’s the “ Far Right” we have heard a lot lately about the rise of the far right yet here we are in familiar territory. The antisemitism that Labour allow to fester and Starmers tolerance and pandering to certain groups will not be explained away by some weak mealy mouthed waffle that no doubt will follow tonight. Just watched Starmers pathetic speech, a single mention of a vile individual 🤷‍♂️
  16. That’s not my research. Don’t go on rigs Dempsey. DSV is what I work off. Ripe coming from you ya miserable cynical old bugger.
  17. Two dead and suspect fatally shot by police after suspected terror attack at synagogue in Manchester APPLE.NEWS ITV Granada Reports Correspondent Ann O'Connor reporting from the scene in Manchester Tragic but all too familiar. The police at the Liverpool incident were at pains to point out it was a white male. Be interesting to see how this pans out.
  18. Not wanting to black cat anyone but I know 4 lads who have taken the final option. My industry( commercial diving) does have a statistically high percentage of suicides for a number of reasons. Lot of ex forces guys too which increases the numbers. End of the day life’s hard 🤷‍♂️you make of it what you can 👍👍 number of factors associated with the commercial diving profession can contribute to a higher risk of suicide, including extreme isolation, physical and psychological stress, job insecurity, and a culture of stoicism. A 2013 study on Norwegian divers, for instance, found that while they had lower overall mortality rates than the general population, they had a significantly higher risk of death by suicide or work-related accident. Psychological and environmental stressors Social isolation: Commercial divers often work on offshore projects or at sea for extended periods, sometimes weeks or months at a time. For saturation divers, who live in pressurized underwater habitats, this isolation is even more extreme and monotonous, with one diver describing the experience as "Groundhog Day". Work-family conflict: The rotational nature of the work, with long periods away from home, places a significant strain on family life. Divers may miss major life events, and the unpredictability of assignments makes planning difficult, which can contribute to family stress and relationship issues. Performance pressure: The commercial diving industry is highly competitive, and there is immense pressure on divers to perform, especially when oil prices are low and jobs are scarce. This pressure can be intense for younger divers who lack long-term contracts. Mental and physical endurance: The job is mentally and physically demanding, requiring extreme durability. The need for mental toughness and a detached mindset to cope with the hazardous environment can lead to divers suppressing their emotions and concerns. This can erode psychological resources over time. Physiological effects of diving: The extreme pressures and mixed breathing gases divers use can affect their mental state. Conditions like nitrogen narcosis ("rapture of the deep") and decompression stress can mimic or exacerbate psychological symptoms like anxiety, which can be made worse by pre-existing anxiety disorders. Industry culture and obstacles to seeking help "Macho" culture: Many maritime and commercial diving settings have a culture that discourages showing vulnerability. This "macho" atmosphere can lead to poor mental health education and a reluctance among divers to seek professional help for anxiety, depression, and stress. Stigma and career consequences: In the diving world, admitting to mental health issues can be perceived as a sign of weakness and may have serious professional repercussions, including being removed from a crew or having difficulty securing future work. This discourages divers from talking about their problems openly. Under-reporting: Suicides in the maritime industry are believed to be under-reported. This is due in part to the difficulty of definitively determining the cause of death at sea. There is also a desire among crew and companies to protect the deceased's family emotionally and financially, especially concerning insurance claims. Financial and future uncertainty Job insecurity: The commercial diving industry, particularly in the offshore oil and gas sector, is tied to the volatile global energy market. Divers, many of whom are "day raters" without fixed contracts, experience significant job insecurity and a lack of predictability in their work, which causes stress. Career transition: For ex-service military divers, the process of transitioning into civilian work presents its own set of challenges, including adapting to a different work culture, coping with past trauma, and re-establishing social ties. This period is associated with increased mental health issues and suicid
  19. 100% Mark I know dozens of self employed lads and not a single individual has succumbed to that shite.
  20. I read it, like I say the stresses of for example yourself doing the daily train commute to a public sector office job with a pension, holiday pay, sick pay and all the rights it gives pale into insignificance compared to a self employed worker or SBO having to find work, balance the books, pay staff and deal with ever changing circumstances and government/hmrc changes, the recent NI Hike and change of BIK rules on crew cabs being just two examples. Unless I’m mistaken and you are actually do work in the “ industry” you allude too. You see Steven if I take time off because I’m “ stressed” I don’t get paid, funnily enough the result is I don’t get “ stressed” often. Strange that 🤔🤷‍♂️
  21. Serious question 🤷‍♂️try answering for a change. I know you tend to be very sensitive about how you make a living but having spent my entire life post armed forces being self employed I stand by my comment.
  22. ? Public sector office workers or self employed 🤷‍♂️my money is very much on the latter
  23. When it comes to Muslim rape gangs here in the UK your silence compared to the obsessed ranting regarding Trump/Epstein in the USA would absolutely indicate you find it irrelevant. A post entirely about “ what “ 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️you sick obsessed anonymous little man. Desperate to try and get one over on me to such an extent you’ve been humiliated on numerous occasions. For you and Mark “ it was a news headline yesterday” 🤷‍♂️reported on several major outlets. Get a bucket of sand between you. @Oldfeller 🤷‍♂️you don’t even need to go fishing when you have minnows that desperate.
  24. Put your soapbox away Mark No different to what you do with Trump and did for years with the Tories. At least the latter is a UK issue as is the rape gang problem and disproportionate amount of sexual assaults by illegal immigrants.
  25. I don’t Mark but I think you might have mentioned something more than once about “ your lass” being involved in such matters. That’s none of my concern, how long it went on for is in many respects a result of those whom hid it due to the reasons we are all aware of now. Assisted by those who wanted silence on the subject.
