    Unbelievably inconsistent reporting of events. Sky News say 11 are dead and in the next breath say that 23 have lost their lives. The anchor woman seems to be extremely dopey and is contradicting herself repeatedly. So, awful things have happened but someone somewhere is guilty of irresponsible reporting.

    If they cannot report accurate figures, how can they possibly prevent such events from happening ? I appreciate that the situation is ongoing and the number of deaths may increase over time but to have figures that swing both up and down is crazy. There is gross incompetence here and it's all too easy for the terrorists.

    Mind boggling....

    Fans of The Jeremy Kyle Show have been slammed for complaining the show has been cancelled due to coverage of the explosions in Brussels.

    Viewers took to social media to moan that the ITV morning show was not being broadcast today due to the on-going coverage of the suspected terrorist attacks in Brussels that are feared to have claimed 23 lives.

    "#GMB this is what we have 24hr news channels for - get off and get Jezza on #jeremykyle," wrote one viewer on Twitter.

    "Like I care n stuff but I would rather be watching Jeremy Kyle ," added another while a third thundered: "Right, that's it! I'm completely fed up with ITV. They've only gone and replaced Jeremy Kyle with the news.

    Another user tweeted ITV to demand an answer as to why the show was not on, writing: "@ITV no Jeremy Kyle this morning..... Explain!!!! #disappointing."

    I don't think anybody except perhaps you is expecting Sky News to prevent terrorist attacks

    Seems so.

    The attacks were pre-planned, but hastily thrown into effect as a reaction, is my take on it.

    Otherwise, if the attacks had been carried out at the death cultists' leisure there may well have been a much higher death toll of innocents again.

    More to come, true.

    More targets for the hooligans.

    Long live the hooligans! I wish them every success in their revenge.

    Forever. Europeans are weak and soft.

    Islam and it's attacks will continue long after we are dead.
    Don't wish an early death upon yourself mate!

    Europeans aren't inherently weak or soft, just held back by the vestiges of Xtian charity and good will inculcated into them from birth,...the very opposite of the jihadist murder brainwash that Muslims teach their children daily.

    Another thing, Islam is gonna be dealt to long before you or I shuffle off our clogs, hang about and see.

    The only thing that's stopping non-Islamofascists from ripping those gutless death cultists' heads off their necks, is the collective appeasing that the European governments indulge in towards their sick raghead partners in business.

    I don't think Sky News are responsible for preventing such events from happening.


    ... Said Bob.




    Seriously, the race to beat others to "exclusives" and the swamping of social media with inaccurate information are to blame for this.

    The priority is not to count the dead but to secure the scene and tend to the living, which is what the security services will have been doing.

    Brussels attacks: Latest updates - BBC News
    Staff evacuated from Tihange nuclear plant

    Non-essential staff have been evacuated from the Tihange nuclear plant near Liege at the request of the country's authorities, its French operator Engie says.
    I wonder what they know that we don't.
    I read a report earlier from a British MEP that he noticed additional heavy security around the city yesterday.

    Our response to the Brussels bombings requires patience and restraint

    SIMON JENKINS

    T
    he purpose of terrorism is not to destroy or kill. It is to pursue a political cause through the massive publicity that is attached to terrifying incidents. Today’s bombs in Brussels, apparently related to the attacks in Paris last year and the capture of Salah Abdeslam last Friday, are patently intended to do just that. Merely killing passers-by serves no warlike purpose in itself. The explosive force derives from our reaction to it, from the public attention awarded to it and from the response of the political community. Publicity and response are the terrorists’ “useful idiocies”.

    There is no way any community can make itself immune to terror attacks. Since they are random, no protection can defend that community from them. No amount of police work or surveillance, no deployment of armies or navies, let alone of missiles or nuclear weapons, can guard against them. Intelligence and surveillance can go so far, but the bombers and killers will get through any net.
    Political terror is as old as war. From the Roman legions to Bomber Command, the instilling of horror in civilian populations has been a standard weapon. “Fighting terrorism” is as meaningless as “fighting guns”.

    What is not stupid is seeking to alleviate, or not aggravate, the rage that gives rise to acts of terror, and then to diminish the potency of the incident itself. The first requires a wiser foreign policy than most western nations have shown towards the Muslim world over the past decade. The second is even harder to achieve. It demands patience and restraint in publicising terrorist incidents and in responding to them.

    The blanket media coverage assured for any act of violence is reckless. The media must “report”, but it need not go berserk in revelling in the violence caused, as it manifestly has done to Islamic State brutality. More serious, the intention of the terrorist is clearly to shut down western society, to show liberal democracy to be a sham and to invoke the persecution of Muslims. Yet that is the invariable response of the security industry to these incidents. Convinced of its potency, it dare not admit there are some things against which it cannot protect us. So when incidents occur it jerks the knee and demands ever more money and ever more power. It must not be given them.

    Muslims must play a larger part in helping us eliminate this scourge, or compromise their own human rights on public safety grounds.

    There is another reason why Europeans are weaker than before, physically they are healthier and prosperous than ever before, but their way of thinking has been altered.
    Like this crisis, Europeans are constantly told that this crisis is exactly the same way the holocaust started.
    Even though the two events are very different.

    Exactly!

    Muslims, both extremists and the so called moderate silent majority, need to understand that they have ALL already lost their rights to an egalitarian status in their European host countries.

    When an estimated 70% of Muslims believe in a Muslim sharia world and judging by their triumphalist expressions of support on social media after today's bombing, it's time to stop pussyfooting around, call a spade a spade and arrest and deport all Muslims who refuse to give open and honest allegiance to the European societies they live in.

    Less than that is to tacitly condone their criminally sick behaviour, and the result of that will be seen by those sub-intelligent accidents of inbreeding as an open invitation to further attempt to intimidate non-Muslims.

    I'm waiting for the headlines, "Mosques burning in...", ..."Muslim businesses go up in flames",.... "Muslims attacked by roving gangs of hooligans"..., "Veils and facial coverings illegal"...." more illegal Muslim schools closed",...."Thousands of Muslims deported".

    Wishful thinking? Not really, we're almost half way there.

    Dunno about that.

    The holocaust was a mass pogrom by Nazi Germany against Jews and non-Arians.

    This is more akin in flavour to the buildup of tensions in Serbia/Bosnia just before the mass executions and removals of Muslims there, after the Muslims in their normally separatist way turned large areas of their adopted lands into Muslim enclaves.

    I'm all for chopping up all the Muslim enclaves, so called no-go zones (which they are) and redistributing any Muslims there among the greater population, where they'd be free to work (which they largely don't do currently) worship (in the privacy of their own homes and institutions) and participate wholly in the culture of the society they (the Muslims) have placed themselves in.

    Muslims are the proverbial snake that bites the hand that feeds it.

    Better yet get rid of them, as a final solution.

    Not today, but twenty years ago in Northern Ireland they did.
