UK: Eight arrested on suspicion of making explosives, BBC mum on identity and motive

Sep 21, 2017 12:47 pm By Robert Spencer

“Eight men were arrested this morning after police officers responding to an alleged assault searched a house in Leicester and found suspicious material.”

Who were they? The BBC doesn’t say. Why were they making explosives? The BBC doesn’t say. Do these arrests have anything to do with an international movement that has vowed the mass murder of British civilians and the destruction of the British state, and has a significant presence in Britain? The BBC doesn’t see fit to tell us.

So while this is likely a jihad-related arrest, we cannot be sure.

Imagine if the Polish press in September 1939 reported that some men with guns and tanks had entered the country and started attacking soldiers and civilians, and authorities were trying to determine their motive.

“Eight arrested on suspicion of making explosives in Leicester,” by Liam Barnes, BBC News, September 21, 2017:

Eight men were arrested this morning after police officers responding to an alleged assault searched a house in Leicester and found suspicious material.

Leicestershire Police said officers arrived at a property on Daneshill Road on Wednesday morning, and a 55-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries to his arm.

A 51-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

After searching the house police found “items which caused some concern”, and firefighters were called in to examine the house to make sure it was not a danger to the public….

    England and Europe are in for a rude awakening having let in thousands of Muslims whose minds are nurtured by Islam and therefore fed and filled with hatred and resentment towards the countries that have received them. Acts of terror are incubating in mosques, ghettoes and private houses all over Europe and naively optimistic and willfully blind politicians and the media lead the masses astray making the prophetic words come true:
    “While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.”

      THE FIRST THING THIS LEFT WING REPORTER SAYS – WHEN HE SAID THAT PEOPLE COME FOR THE BENEFITS & IF YOU PUT THE LID ON THE HONEY POT THE FLOOD STOPS ; SO INSTANTLY THIS LEFTIST FLAKE – SAYS THAT IS OFFENSIVE – UTTER LEFTIST RUBBISH !
      THIS REPORTER HAS CREATED NOT ONE JOB OR BIT OF WEALTH BUT HAS THE AUDACITY TO NOT ALLOW ANOTHER OPINION !
      BUT I SEE THAT THE WHITE FLIGHT TO SPEAK IS A COP OUT & AVOIDS THE CONFRONTATION WITH ISLAM THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE !
      THIS LEAVES THE REAL HORROR TO THE NEXT GENERATION & ONES AFTER THAT WHICH IS A COWARDS WAY OUT !
      WHAT THEY HAVE ALL MISSED IS THE VERY REAL – ISLAMIC THREAT !

      LEFTISTS IN THE MEAN TIME ARE STILL PLAYING PARROTS : ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE FOLLOWED BY VIOLENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM AS THE CHILDREN”S LEGS ARE BLOWN OFF AT A CONCERT & THE MAYOR SAYS – THEY ARE NOT MUSLIMS BUT CRIMINALS !
      DECIEPT & DENIAL ALL OVER EUROPE & THE UK !

      For a long time, I admired The Former British Empire, along with their fighting spirit, & professionalism. When they failed,( actually betrayed ), their own Countrymen, bravely fighting against Communist African Puppet States, nearly surrounding RHODESIA, & backed by “RED CHINA”, The USSR, & CUBA, I started to drastically change my opinion of The Brit’s, a Race even Hitler, didn’t initially want to fight, as he believed that they were the same people. It’s really hard to believe that it was once true, that the “Sun Never Set On The British Empire”! Now,
      of coarse, Cowardly, Leftist, Marxist, Leadership, is rapidly turning ENGLAND INTO A “FOURTH WORLD”, Non-White, SH**HOLE!!!

    And if they’re determined to be Muslims who’ve been screaming Allahu Akbar during the interrogation, they’ll be described as ‘Asian men’.

    LONDON — Amazon said on Wednesday that it was reviewing its website after a British television report said the online retail giant’s algorithms were automatically suggesting bomb-making ingredients that were “Frequently bought together.”

      Eight wolves living or working together ought to be called a wolf pack.

    These days, we do not need much information from the BBC on these matters as we already know that the name is usually ‘Muhammed’ and he is not a Presbyterian.

    It’s probable that the BBC has published guidance for its employees to follow when slanting the news and obscuring relevant truth. So, on a hunch, I searched the WWW for the phrase ‘BBC style guide’. Here is what I found through Bing:

    https://www.bing.com/search?q=bbc+style+guide

    The next steps are to search the style guide for defects and write corrections.

    So it is the ages of these males which was significant. Watch out for men in their 50s when visiting a Leicester pub then.
