Liverpool terror attack

Yeah, it did. I was spat at and punched on public transport in the 80s because of my Irish accent. Luckily I'm built like a brick shithouse and have a terrible temper. The cowardly cunts didn't try it twice. And both my mum and dad were told to "go back home, Micks".
Tart..
 
By the media presumably? Don't recall the driver bigging himself up.
The mayor didn’t help:


"Joanne Anderson, the mayor of Liverpool, confirmed to BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the taxi driver involved prevented an "awful disaster" through heroic actions.
She said it was known he had got out of the car and locked the doors before the explosion happened - but she did not want to get drawn into further speculation."
 
His fellow drivers and "sources" and politicians up to the Prime Minister repeated tales.

Plus a lot of money raised on the back of it.

I have heard these hero stories before that fall flat at the Coroner's Court.

So the main story is that the cabbie isn’t a hero?

Seems an odd thing to dwell on.
