Why raise money through fake charities? Why get money from Saudi Arabia?

Just move to the UK, and ask the local council for a few hundred thousand pounds.

Any way to vote people off the local council - for the rest of their lives?

'organisations infiltrated by the bombers'

so the public gym they used got council funding, so what?

the tone of your OP is that the council wrote checks directly to fund terrorists. thats clearly not true.

no, we are saying that people who later turn into terrorists using public infrastructure/community projects that are open to all (a gym, a school, a community centre and what appears to be a book shop) does not mean those who funded these projects are supporters or funders of those terrorists.

They certainly are funders of terrorism out of sheer ignorance.

DK, the article suggests that the terrorists used to meet in a community centre that recieved public funds. whoop de fucking doo. and there was an iffy bookshop on the same block of a school that was, being a school, publicly funded?

where is anyone saying funds actually ended up in terrorists hands?

this is a nothing story from a nothing paper.

What your saying is the equivalent of saying (terrorists drink coke, therefore the coca cola co funds terrorism".

These facilities run and funded by local government are open to ALL. That is the meaning of the word public. The fact that they have been used by terrorists does not mean that the local governments are funding said terrorists.

And my point was that the Daily Mail, like the vast majority of British printed press, does not give news it gives opinion. It gives a right wing opinion, just as The Guardian gives a left wing. The only newspaper in the UK I would personally trust for NEWS is the Times.

I wouldn’t trust the Times as its part of the Rupert Murdoch media empire. It's a disgrace that’s he's aloud to own three national papers. The Independent might be a better bet for impartial news.

So if somebody robs me and uses my money for terrorism, I fund terrorism. Fucking great logic.

Mind you, there was a time not too long ago when all you needed was a high-peaked cap, mirror shades and a few bannanas in your republic and as sure as Rons your monkeys uncle, its funds from Uncle Sam.....and nobody was in any doubt what them lads were up to.

but you forget the point, those terror organisations were always funded by England and america and they knew they were supporting terrorists too. Those Terrorist organisations were used against soviets but now just backlashed. England, european countries and america supported diverse ethnic groups and religious orders to use them against different targets all along. At north european countries there are terrorist hidehouses known and funded by goverment. Even Tv stations like Roj Tv with prime ministers signature under it.
