I think the Gov should pay for his full Christian burial.......he had converted after all... in the country he wanted to be in to flee his own personal oppresion. Its the Christian thing to do! :winker:

His ineptitude aside it looks like he got the mix of his TATP wrong and only the detenator went off saving the cabbies life.

Close call for the Cabby and one less nutter in the world, so no harm done.

Keep your tea lights and copies of 'Dont look back in anger' on hold, there's sure to be another event soon.

Liverpool bomb: Jeremy Corbyn gets damages over fake photo tweet
A Conservative councillor has agreed to pay "substantial" damages and legal costs to former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for posting a defamatory tweet.

Paul Nickerson has also apologised for the doctored tweet which showed Mr Corbyn at the scene of the Liverpool bomb attack.

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council member has resigned from the local Conservative group.

Mr Corbyn said the damages would be donated to charity.

Mr Nickerson said he had taken "full responsibility" for the fake photo, which showed Mr Corbyn laying a poppy wreath near the burning taxi outside Liverpool Women's Hospital.

The Tweet was captioned with the word "unsurprisingly".

,,,,,,,,,,

[Corbyn] said he would use the settlement to support charities "close to my heart".

Surely people can't be that deranged to kill a couple over a parking issue?

Await the queues of soppy c**** filling their trollies and it being rationed due to said soppy c****...

Meanwhile, supermarkets rub their hands with glee when they ramp the price up stating said shortages as the reason.

Much like the fuel, when it suddenly shot up in price, despite there being no shortage, and oddly enough, it ain't come down again yet.

Sorry just seen your headline after I wrote my bit about drink shortages. Very sad story, I believe the person arrested has a family too . Made my post look flippant after such a tragedy.

The Durham Light Infantry were the most prolific regiment in British Army in the Second World War. They fought in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Normandy and then into occupied Europe.

To think you go through all that only to get mugged at a 96 year old.

I hope someone finds this **** and teaches him som respect.

A 13 year old boy in Georgia USA starts his own business by buying gun parts on the internet then building semi automatic guns with them & selling them on the street.

These guns have no serial number so can be used for crimes easier.

Two blokes, well late teens, are pretending to buy guns but run off instead so the 13 year old fires - and kills his 14 year old sister instead.

Now the kid, and one of the robbers, are charged with murder.
