//There were much less crime before mass immigration, in fact I can't ever remember such horrific crimes as this one before vast numbers of Islamic followers came to this country.//
What was said by AOG.^^
//AOG you stated there was no issues before mass immigration I was merely pointing out how delusional you were! //
What he is now accused of saying.....notice the pattern? It is the tactic that we are all now subject to by the deniers, to take what we say and amplify chosen sound bites to attack our disapproval.

I see the Muslim Council of Britain has been mentioned. Well, I love its frequent clarion calls for "toleration" and "mutual respect". And, of course, its disavowal of this week's atrocity.
I wonder, however, what its view of the targets of the bomber - Miss Grande and her audience - might be. There could be a clue in this (along with a further clue as to what MCB's definition of "tolerance" is):
"Muslims consider that most dance activities, as practised in the curriculum, are not consistent with the Islamic requirements for modesty as they may involve sexual connotations and messages when performed within mixed-gender groups or if performed in front of mixed audiences. Most primary and secondary schools hold dance in mixed-gender classes and may include popular dance styles, in which movements of the body are seen as sexually expressive and seductive in nature....
... most Muslim parents will find little or no educational merit or value in dance or dancing after early childhood and may even find it objectionable on moral and religious grounds once children have become sexually mature (puberty). Some parents may consider it to be acceptable within a single-sex context provided the dance movements have no sexual connotations. As dancing is not a normal activity for most Muslim families, Muslim pupils are likely to exhibit reluctance to taking part in it, particularly in mixed-gender sessions. By the same token, dance performances before a mixed gender audience may also be objectionable.
[i]Schools are asked to respect these views and principles, which are held sincerely on the grounds of conscience, and to honour parents’ wishes by not placing pupils in situations of religious and moral compromise[i]."
Here's an example of the toothsome Miss Grande's disregarding all this "advice":

Depending on circumstances,the IRA did sometimes give warnings before their bombs exploded.
Sometimes they didn't, as with the Droppin Well attack, or the Enniskillen Remembrance Day outrage.
It would have been pointless to have given a warning before the Warrenpoint bombs as they were intended as an attack on members of the Parachute Regiment. A belated payback, some here thought.

Europe's Leaders: Shielding Themselves from Reality
by Judith Bergman • May 23, 2017 at 5:00 am
Shielding heads of state from seeing the consequences of the policies that they themselves have forced on the entire European continent represents a staggering new level of hypocrisy.
Why do the citizens of Europe need to 'broaden their horizons,' while the people in power protect themselves from the reality they themselves imposed on everyone else? This attitude, far from democratic, borders on the atmosphere prevalent in Europe during the bygone days of Europe's absolute monarchs.
Realism? Stop the Invasion as well. I have chosen both.
