There was no indication Masood had himself gone abroad to fight but people he associated with had wanted to.
"The people he was hanging out with did include people suspected of having an interest in travelling to join jihadi groups overseas but the attacker himself never did so," the source said.
Dunster & Timberscombe (West Somerset) result:
LDEM: 49.7% (+49.7)
CON: 32.9% (-26.7)
GRN: 10.9% (-29.6)
LAB: 6.6% (+6.6)
Edit: Whilst in prison.
That ain't right.
That isn't talked about...Nor in all the stuff about this backlash against the Muslim community that has no basis in fact...is the fact the Jews now have security 24/7, 365 days a year at many places and employ their own police force.
Furthermore, nobody needs round the clock security if somebody says something nasty about the Christian, Jews, Sikh or the Hindu's. People just call them out as bigots and we move on.
Although I note the 40% previously for the Greens.
Looks like the Lib Dem vote is eating that wholesale.
Yup. There is plenty we can do. We lack the will to do so.
Tweeting about not being afraid and lighting bloody candles everywhere is pathetic. It's as if we're so concerned with talking about love and no division that we forget that we have to take real steps to ensure a free, socially cohesive society, that we forget that such societies don't just happen by accident and that evil needs to be actively confronted and defeated.
"For evil to flourish, it is enough that good men do nothing."
Time to start doing and stop emoting.
If you slag off evangelical Christianity, it's most unlikely that you'll get death threats from angry evangelicals or be threatened with prosecution for inciting religious hatred.
IND: 95 seats
LAB: 5 seats
That means that Labour must have won St-James-the-Least-of-All-by-the-Wardrobe, or maybe Pudding Lane and Monument North East.
I don't suppose anyone was betting on this particular contest, were they?
City of London Council, election results:
IND: 95 seats
LAB: 5 seats
I thought his comparisons were interesting. He said this attacker was "no more representative of Islam than Thomas Mair was of people living in Yorkshire".
He clearly couldn't bring himself to say "than Thomas Mair was of the many millions of good and decent people who voted Leave", probably because he neither believes or agrees with it.
JC4PM!
Check the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum being taught here in the UK. As some of its highlights it is not too keen on "...women's rights, sexual freedom, the Enlightenment" as they are, apparently, against the Word of God.
These people are in charge of educating children
I rarely agree with SeanT but he is correct insofar it is not just the terrorism, we can live with that (but god knows what it must be costing us to keep up surveillance on thousands of potential home grown and imported jihadis), it's everything that goes with it, the mysogyny, the homophobia, the refusal to integrate, apostasy etc.
The UK is a progressive, increasingly secular and tolerant society, what were we really thinking when we decided it would be be a good idea to settle millions of adherents of a backward, medieval, bigoted religion in our midst?

Not only are China trying to pull a fast one to try and lever in their own successor, there has been a serious spate of Buddhist monks self-immolating (setting light to themselves).
GRN: 40.8% (+10.1)
IOC: 18.3% (+18.3)
CON: 17.8% (-8.7)
IND: 14.9% (+14.9)
LDEM: 8.2% (+8.2)
Everyone up except Con
I'm not sure what the complaint is here, though. You don't want people to know what murderous bastards the taliban are?
Tell you what for every atrocity committed by adherents of the religion of your choice in say last 4 years I will post details of 3 committed by Islamists - who do you think will run out of examples first?
Had she recruited a load of people with similar opinions, young enough and experienced enough to know better, and started rattling tins for the BNP it would have been time to find another boozer.
I'm well aware that every message board/site in the whole internet is not as good as it used to be. Perhaps I'll just go and read some books instead. Or go to an actual pub.
Anyway, consider me flounced.
All the best, folks
Reports of Labour's ineptitude never fail to lift my spirits. Clearly, even members of his own family didn't turn out to vote for him.
Labour seat with no LibDem or Green standing. Will Labour lose it to UKIP?
Jeez
oh shit probably in for a death sentence now for taking the lords name in vain......
oh wait, no they will just turn the other cheek
Is it true that Mohammed was the world's first Islamist?
It's how the empire got built.
Mock the most radical Muslims? That's a much riskier business.
That said I think the successor thing has been known for years and years, though I didn't know there has been a spate of self immolation.
I'm still waiting for the third result but I think I'll call it a day.
Everyone will calm down soon. Of course, that's part of the problem, even as the ability to move on is also a key strength of humanity usually, as nothing then truly gets addressed.
Night all.
