I live in Manchester, and the bomber was actually neighbours with my friends gran.... I also have another friend who lost a work colleague in the explosion. It's pretty crazy what has happened, you never think it will happen on your doorstep but goes to show you are never really safe.
Its an awful tragedy and my heart goes out to the victims families. It's one thing killing innocent people but targeting innocent children is a new low.
The intelligence services knew about this family and knew they were a risk. Yet they still let them live in the UK. You have to ask why they let them stay in the UK. Why do we have such a relaxed immigration policy in the UK? My theory is we are looking for an excuse to go in heavy in the East instead of playing with these proxy wars. I don't trust the government one bit and often I feel they are just as guilty as these terrorists.
