I follow some of our Danish and Swedish politicians on Facebook.

Also those who are outside the two parliament

From those party leader the words of action is strongest-That's is for me OK, they are working hard to get elected and almost everything goes.

What makes me sad is that many, so to say worship what these leader say, they do not understand that, when elected, its going to be something like "Sorry, you must have remembered wrong, we party XX haven't these thing " a.s.o They have been elected and can relax.....until its election day again.

Flying into BRU from Dublin early Sunday morning. We'll see!

if this article is true, more of the same that has happened in Brussels will happen again in Europe. Stay alert over there!

What they found at one of the terrorists apartment. A whole lot of stuff to cause as much carnage as possible!

"Authorities also found large stockpiles of bomb-building materials at his apartment in the Schaerbeek area of Brussels, the prosecutor said: 33 pounds of TATP explosives, nearly 40 gallons of acetone, eight gallons of hydrogen peroxide, detonators and a suitcase full of nails and screws."

So proud to be a Belgian :


Just hours after the horrific attacks in our capital Brussels, Belgians are fighting back with kindness.
Using the hashtags #Ikwilhelpen or "I want to help", and #OpenHouse, they are offering help to those stranded after the blasts on tuesday morning Belgian time put the city under lockdown.


While some were offering their homes, others were offering to pick up stranded people and drive them to safety.



My deepest sympathy & best wishes to all families & friends of those who have died or were injured by this dreadful attack .

No doubt there will be some who will want to rain on their parade, but I say good on them. We will be hit, we will be hurt, but we will not become what they want us to, what their propaganda paints us as.
I hope we won't anyway. :yep:

Hopefully the Donald will lend-lease you guys a few "special" presents for our common foe. Presents they should have received fifteen years ago. :03:

Tolerance kills, hope Europe gets it's act together.

Yes thanks, but it looks like it is only a matter of time :stare:

You can fight a regular army, and you can wage war against other countries, but fighting terrorism cannot be done like a "war". This is even more "asymmetrical" than fighting partisans or Daesh in Syria.
You need to infiltrate the scene, contact the right persons etc, the regular police is not trained for the job, nor have they enough men here in Germany. And you have to do that years, before they organise those crimes.
"They" can be everywhere, which adds to the feeling of insecurity, and thatis of course exactly what they like us to feel.

It is however good to see how the european police is working together and transferring information, after some initial 'friction'. Whatever happens, we will not show the white feather, leave the EU and hope for the best. Jetzt erst recht!

So sorry for Belgium, and all those who suffer.

No, being tolerant to the intolerant kills. Like islamists, far right and you.

:huh:

And let me just ad, the far left, naive, moronic, out of touch with reality.
Let's be fair to both sides.

(far left as the regressive left, not commies)

You are right, there are not much real commies left. :O:

The biggest commie I know (I swear, if you stand to close to him you can hear partisan songs comming out of his ear) owns 3 micro hydroelectric plants

I had the misfortune of seeing Bubbles earlier pre-edited reply where he praised the rise of the hard right in Europe. :dead:

Good thing Joseph Stalin, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, Erich Honecker, Slobadan Milosevic, Enver Hoxha, and That Guy with the Mustache didn't give into the evil of tolerance. Fellow Europeans could have been killed! :o

Quite so. :haha:

I must just correct my previous statement, he didn't praise the rise of the hard right, his exact quote was "Hopefully the hard right will make a come back in Europe..."

These events are depressing enough without the usual round of "told-you-so" from the falling sky merchants.


In other news, the train station in Maastricht was closed off last night due to a suspicious package. I was walking past as the bomb squad arrived.

Nothing was actually found but it illustrates how things are going.

Fun times.

Europe does need a soft right though, someone to put the foot down and introduce some reasonable measures. Reasonable.

But a soft right is not votable by the terrified population :nope:

I remember the days back during 'The Troubles' when it was almost a daily occurrence that a tube station in London would be briefly closed because of a 'suspicious package', if you watch Michael Palins 'Eighty Days Around the World' it happens on his return to the UK.
Sadly there will be a lot of heightened tensions in Belgium, France, Holland and the UK over the next few months, well...I say sadly, but honestly it's probably for the best, so long as we don't have another De Menezes incident, and also we must be careful not to harrass ordinary non-radical Muslims and risk pushing them into the camp of the extremists.
