Boots Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) I work with an English MD who is currently on holidays in the UK for 2 weeks. I just remember how troubled he was when that incident happened on the bridge a while ago. But he still worked through the day and saw all his patients. He is quite a trooper. Canada is an independent country now, but we are still part of the Commonwealth. Edited May 23, 2017 by Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 They just carried out some controlled explosions near to the arena. How many explosions in total so far?Four I think, but that's from various sources and not an official figure. I saw and heard one controlled explosion live on TV, there's may be more than four.

Fordgalaxy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 How much do you have to dislike Ariana Grande to do this? Of course, it has nothing to do with her except she's white and from the US and probably most of the people at the concert are probably white and represent many of the things ISIS seeks to destroy. With the current immigration policies in Europe, this kind of thing will only continue or get worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
