Terrorist threat level raised to "critical" in Britain

Apparently Glasgow and London incidents linked.

Car at Glasgow had containers with propane gas and bomber had 'suicide belt' according to BBC news.

Incorrect: the hospital was evacuated purely because a suspect was/is being treated there. SOP.

It was on the BBC news. They found a bomb.

"The accident and emergency department of the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley has been closed.

A spokesman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said this was due to the police investigation into the events at the airport.

One of the suspects was being treated at the hospital.

Emergency patients are being taken to Glasgow A&E departments at the Southern General Hospital and Western Infirmary.

However, the rest of the Royal Alexandra Hospital, is operating as normal."

Hmm strange. The news report said they'd found one.

Its really not a huge deal. When these things to go according to plan, I have sympathy for the victims and those close, but I try and keep an objective view.

A bombs goes off, normally about 10 people are hurt. This happens once every few years, before the London bombings, it was the IRA. More people die on the roads each day than the total yearly count of bombings in England.
As said above, the people who are really hurt by this are not the British, but the Muslims across the world. The ones who are being persecuted by the media for the crimes of the minority, and the ones being blown up by their own people.

Basically, its not even worth our attention. The more media space they get, the more it seems like a success to these people.

Panic & misinformation mate: reporting a bomb in the immediate vicinity will get rid of all the drunken arseholes and waiting room padders that have cut open their heads in fights or twisted their ankles. They would otherwise demand immediate 1st aid treatment (such is the nature of a common or garden A&E unit) when it would be better aimed at those with serious injury.

You can probably imagine the reaction of a drunken idiot when told by a nurse/doctor that they have to go to another hospital "Just in case":

"NHS cutbacks... blah, blah, blah!"
"I demand to see a doctor NOW!!"

Tell them there's a bomb in the area..... you wouldn't get to the end of the sentence before the waiting room would be empty of bloody/bruised teenagers & incontinent grannies.

Incorrect.

Are you saying the media is racist?

I have never seen the media blame Muslims as a whole for anything. A bunch of racist morons yes, not the media though.

The finger of blame is still scanning at present mate.

It won't be long before we hear the beeping, then the scream of target acquisition.
