UK: Nail bomb explodes in Manchester – no media coverage for a week

23

The UK is under siege and these weekly, sometimes daily terror attacks barely get reported. The UK media didn’t report on this nail bomb (packed with shrapnel) for a week. These new stories certainly don’t see the light of a day in America. Such reportage is considered ‘Islamophobic.’  It only came to light after the series of jihad tube bombings in London, the day before yesterday.

Shockingly, the = explosion that rocked a Manchester cafe is not being investigated by anti-terror cops – despite claims it was packed with nails and screws. The alleged nail bomb was left under the shutters of The Lounge, cafe in Salford on Tuesday. A source told Manchester Evening News: “It was packed full of nails and screws and forensics have been pulling them all out of the woodwork.”

Not terror?

Explosion that was heard across Manchester was caused by a NAIL BOMB say police as they probe who planted the crude device

  • Sources close to the investigation say it was ‘packed full of nails and screws’
  • The explosion outside the Salford cafe was heard across Greater Manchester
  • Four men in a Lexus were arrested after police chased them down the street 
  • Police believe it may be linked to another explosion in the county days earlier
  • An industrial style firework was strapped to an exhaust to blow up a car 

A bomb which exploded outside a café was packed with nails and screws.

It was left under the shutters of The Lounge in Pendleton, Salford, earlier this week.

It damaged the shutters, canopy, windows and pavement outside the cafe.

Sources close to the investigation say a device that exploded outside a Salford cafe was packed with nails and screws

The bang was heard across Greater Manchester at around 12.30am on Tuesday.

Police said the nature of the device is still the subject of forensic examination.

A source said: ‘It was packed full of nails and screws and forensics have been pulling them all out of the woodwork.’

Another person close to the investigation confirmed nails were in the device.

The explosion came after a car was blown up with an industrial style firework in Eccles, also in Greater Manchester, three days earlier.

Bomb disposal units were dispatched to both scenes and police believe the incidents could be linked.

The device is still being probed in a forensic investigation after it exploded outside The Lounge in Greater Manchester 

A baffled family in Grafton Avenue, where the firework was attached to a Vauxhall Corsa’s exhaust, said they had no idea as to why it was targeted.

Gina and Tom Harrison say the firework ripped the bumper and back lights off the vehicle.

The incident followed another explosion in Eccles three days earlier, when an industrial style firework was used to blow up a car

Their son, Tom, heard a car ‘screeching’ down the road at around 6.30pm while watching football upstairs with a friend.

When the young men looked outside they saw a ‘red glow’ underneath the car and heard a ‘huge bang’.

Four occupants of a Lexus car were arrested by police after they tried to escape on foot following the explosion

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of possession of explosives after a police chase.

At about 7pm on Thursday officers saw a Lexus car on Stockport Road, which was thought to be stolen and linked to the explosions.

Officers followed the Lexus for a short time before it stopped and reversed, ramming the police car near to Regent Road, Salford.

The occupants abandoned the car and attempted to escape on foot but officers soon caught up with them and detained them.

The men, aged 20, 24, 24, and 29, have since been bailed pending further enqui

“The explosion outside the Salford cafe was heard across Greater Manchester” – that must have been one mother. Strange it was never reported.

The lame stream media in britanistan are every bit the cowards that they are anywhere else. But then, as the mayor of london said to get used to terrorism as a way of life in a big city, perhaps terrorism is no longer considered news, as it is rather commonplace in the caliphate of englanistan.

Muslims are united in their goal of occupation , domination , terrorising and subjugation and practice Islamic Art Of Occupation & Ethnic Cleansing Without Killing http://bit.ly/2y1iju8

while infidels are clueless and disunited. Unite,fund, support, inform, Organise and resist . Or you’ll end up in a Islamic hellhole.

Thank goodness no one was hurt!

The British media may not want to give terrorists attention, but they should still report it. British citizens need to be kept up-to-date about the threat jihadists are causing for them.

Were it not for the internet, the MSM would be very successful in preventing anyone from knowing about this story.

The MSM has only survived by using the most powerful and most dishonest tool in all of Journalism, the SPIKE.

From the early days of newspapers, the SPIKE, once a physical spike on an editor’s desk, was use to impale any story an editor did not want the public to know about. This was very useful in shaping the opinions of the public and directing them to vote in an approved way.

While the internet is certainly not a bastion of unbiased truth, at least it exposes us to the stories big government, and one world order types don’t want us to know.

Starve the liberal MSM by cancelling your liberal newspaper and canceling your cable/sat TV subscriptions as every month part of your payment goes directly to networks working against you and still trying to use the SPIKE.

I wonder if the Lounge has any muslum competitors in the area? In caliphornia, a muslum torched a rival liquor store across the street. I guess technically that’s not islamic terrorism.

It had music on, might or might not have been serving alcohol, involved free mixing of the sexes without a full Burka, and was generally provoking muslims, so it needed to be culturally enriched.

Any wonder the conservative press are in the censor’s sights and social media filtering is focussing on “right wing extremism “? WWII survivors used to talk about the blanket suppression of “adverse news “, which might damage morale, and give comfort to the enemy . But they knew who the enemy was ,then. Feels like we are , today.

THAT’S IT!

IF you Brits don’t REBEL now at your country being FARCED into Islam, then you deserve it. Your leaders (all leftist) and just a few hundred in number are bringing MILLIONS of you to your knees is INCREDIBLE!

Few hundred traitors that can probably be hanged in an afternoon and bring your country back from the DEAD.

In Machester, England, four men in their twenties, tied to a terrorist explosion designed to maximize casualties, ram a police car, then try to escape on foot.

“The men, aged 20, 24, 24, and 29, have since been bailed pending further enquiries.”

Remember the great war song – “There will always be an England?” This was the concluding verse:

“There will always be an England, and England will be free, if England means as much to you as England does to me”

File this song under “Hopeless Anachronisms.”
