3 little girls murdered at a taylor swift dance class last week and now shows being cancelled because of terrorist threats?? god this is such a fucked up world i can’t even process rn i feel sick

[wavesurfer]

OMG ! Thank God they knew beforehand, this reminds me of the Manchester arena terror attack 😢

[heartsman]

He couldn't bring himself to say islamist...

[wizardowlgenius]

In another universe where they didn’t cancel, we might see news about terrorist attack in concert killed multiple, injured dozens. Better safe than sorry.

Poor Taylor doesn't fit their ideology

[CastleHassall]

what? no translation of the Austrian police statement????

[curiositycloset]

And who was planning this attack, seems like that crucial piece of information was left out?

[Jamie-ukzh]

Is it the Far Right again? Or the real culprits

[CHuzz]

She ought to hold them in the UK. I’m told those people aren’t a problem here and the only threat comes from a handful of far righters.

"Isolated incident" #536.
We gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
More cultural enrichment.

[drgonzo]

The BBC can’t even call this terrorism, incredible. They do love that sweet Arab oil money

[hourbee]

Has Kier Starmer blamed the far-right yet?

[pgrothschild]

Is it any coincidence these problems all arise in countries that think taking in infinite numbers of people from all corners of the globe results in paradise?

[haroldland]

They announced it as an ‘ Austrian citizen ‘ is that the same as the ‘Welshman’ ?

[CastleHassall]

but wait, the BBC said it is "dangerous" of Elon Musk to talk of islam being a threat in Europe

[needham]

I'm amazed the BBC didn't announce the cancellations weren't a Far Right threat. 😂

[baxtyarnr]

We all know why BBC doesn't want to reveal who's threatened terrorist attacks

[tacoreibrown]

i just feel sick to my stomach watching people intentionally try to ruin spaces where people, mostly women for that matter, feel safe and happy and free to just be themselves due to some deeply misogynistic hatred towards taylor swift

[AzraelBC]

The Austrian security services know who it is and yes he's from that demograph.

[Muhammads_pork_chops]

Erm, who was it they suspected of plotting to attack miss swift?

Only we aren't allowed to criticise people of that particular religion, or well be branded far right fascists.
