I'm "alright" Jack. Mad Jack is on annual leave.
British Prime Minister Theresa May was Home Secretary when police numbers were slashed by 20,000.
She was publicly warned, by a Manchester policeman who’d just quit in helpless disgust, that this draconian move would dramatically reduce the ability of police in the city to work out what was really happening in the community. He specifically said it would imperil police ability to protect the country from terror attacks.
And Corbyn blaming the attacks on Brit foreign policy / wars they’re engaged in … is also politicising, just sayin’ seeing as you mentioned it.
I’d take May’s approach over Corbyn’s pathetic “It’s our own fault” approach.
if not suggestung that it’s the UK’s own fault, what other explanation for his statement do you give?
Yep
Which statement? Yesterday or this morning? Either way, it considered Britain’s foreign policy as a contributing factor to the attacks on British soil.
If you don’t see how this is a fact, or at the very least a reasonable assessment, then you have lost the plot buddy.

I find it hard to believe he could forget his baby was in the car. All day. It’s actually impossible to believe.

It’s probably better if it’s not impossible to believe that, because if it’s that easy, it’s terrifying and could happen to anyone, and it’s probably better to be aware that it could happen to you – one moment of carelessness on a busy day after a sleepless night, say. Better not to think it couldn’t possibly happen to you. Even if it gives you nightmares.
Harry Molloy
Heard on the radio that it actually happens quite a bit in the states and it’s a mental thing – it’s when something becomes part of your routine you often can’t remember doing it, especially when tired. How many of us have gotten into work and can’t really remember the trip in?
This is like an extreme version of that and if you are happy with your childs childcare then you are more likely to forget because you don’t worry.
Poorly explained but it does seem to be a phenomenon. Sleep deprivation can make you do terrible things.
I'm "alright" Jack. Mad Jack is on annual leave.
In many states it’s illegal to leave children unattended in cars

Sleep deprivation can do funny and awful things to your well being. Forgetfulness is only one of them.
The guilt that man will live with for the rest of his days will be a difficult thing to bear. My heart goes out to the family.

believe it or not it can happen
and esp when you have a baba in the house and in combo with other life circumstances that lead to sleep deprivation. my guess is the fella was on sleep deprived autopilot and it was his first week taking the baba or something out of routine….I can tell ye for a fact sleep deprivation can lead to all sorts of strange stuff. I don’t like talking about this sort of scenario save just to say it can happen and don’t be fast to judge.
why do ye think the military use it as a tool?

This is the angle the Daily Telegraph choose to take as family members mourn their dead and survivors struggle to male sense of their experience and puts their lives back together. It puts Leo in the ha’penny place. Scum.

It’s correct however in this case no matter how unpalatable it might be. Let’s face it everyone on welfare is a potential terrorist

Oh stop. Are you telling me that my nana is a potential terrorist for withdrawing her pension?
It would certainly make life more interesting, though, wouldn’t it?
I'm "alright" Jack. Mad Jack is on annual leave.
She’s probably an IRA sympathiser so yes
Harry Molloy
Ha, I never knew I once had potential to be a terrorist, that’s kinda sexy

Yep

so you want more of these attcks, then.
No Petey, stop now, you’ll hurt that head of yours
better may’s policies that allowed this than corbyn in office, you say.
ps, i’m sure you read the link that i provided you above, when you tried to call Jack a liar.
You’re totally misrepresenting Corbyn with that “quote” Clampers.

Read a devastating article about this a few years ago about people put on trial after it happened. Still haunted by it.
@ Custo. Your comment is grossly insensitive to say the least.
@custo a round earth is impossible to believe for some too. Show some empathy for a tragic mistake that happens because we are only human,
Years ago I worked with a Primary School Teacher who was on secondment
And something he told me
Has always stayed with me
Imagine being up all night, night after night, with a teething collicicky baby and then going into a class of 40 7 year olds first thing
My heart is broken for this family
I can’t bring myself to imagine their pain
I only hope its true what people say about bereavement
That time is a great healer
We’re all Fogertys when a tragedy such this happens
I’ll light a candle for ye
+1
There but for the grace of God goes every distracted parent, your heart would go out to them, such an awful tragedy.
