    I've just been down a conspiracy theory wormhole and now I'm feeling pretty paranoid.

    I think he either gave Harold his account or they shared it. Wasn't really clear though and it strangely was never even mentioned anywhere once it happened.

    Probably something to do with the Tories and the election.

    Surely a conspiracy theory about this sort of attack (that it's a false flag) is kinda obvious anyway?

    Waff was like 'ahaha, I can't believe what Diego Costa did' without posting what he actually did or any indication of it. It could've been fucking anything.

    I'd guessed that, but at the same time didn't think that'd be enough for you to become paranoid, so I thought you'd gone through the EVIDENCE and found something deeply disturbing.

    I had a look on r/conspiracy and the only post of note was this but its effort to get past the paywall so I didn't read the Forbes article.

    And the news that troops were on the streets had just come out. She's planning her coup.

    The raising of the terror threat level to critical is such a load of balls.

    If threat levels are to be useful at all it would help to have one before an attack, but they can't do that as it'd cause mass panic.

    Yeah, it's dumb. Bear in mind that the 7/7 bombings (and the 21/7 follow-up ... and Stockwell ... and the recent Westminster attack(s) ) didn't garner that level of threat.

    The idea of false flag terror attacks is absolutely comical. The idea that you could keep that sort of thing operationally secret without anyone leaking or discovering it, in this day and age, is just nonsense.

    Also there's CCTV of the dude doing it. But I guess he's an MI5 suicide bomber.

    Really though, does it really matter? If you're not up to anything then so what if they can read it.

    I'm sure you can think of ways that people having access to your private conversations and details can cause you problems.
    The right to privacy is absolutely fundamental.

    You need to define 'up to anything' in a way that will cover literally every single context in which suspicion will be raised. If you can't do that, which you can't because it isn't possible, then you're going to get shit happening to people who have no malicious intent whatsoever.

    I'm not comfortable people seeing everything everyone does online. It's pretty obvious when someone is watching child porn or specifically planning a terrorist operation, but aside from those things there's a lot of cases where there's uncertainty and I can see people getting fucking hammered for not doing anything wrong.

    I think them not having a crystal ball and sometimes therefore being genuinely surprised is probably something to do with it too.

    Imam Irfan Chishti from Manchester Central Mosque says he wants to make it clear that the Manchester attack "has no place in the religion of Islam".
    That's basically like saying ham and pineapple has no place on pizza. Sensible people may all agree so, but oh look, it happens anyway on a daily basis.

    It doesn't happen on a daily basis.

    Anyway, a friend of a friend reported the house of the bomber a few times and the police sent a letter back saying we will look into it. It even had a black flag. Ffs.

    Attacks don't, the ideology does.

    That seems to be the pretty much standard police response to anything outside the Met these days. The burden on investigating crime very much falls on the public and if there's an absolute open and shut case then maybe, maybe they might have the resources to bother doing any police work.

    I get two per cent of the net receipts, so once you account for some people (like me) getting it cheaper... Somewhere between thirty and forty?

    Of course they don't, but what I'm saying is that the 'threat level' as a mechanism is useless and just for show.
