Clearly an un-educated person. I dare say if you trawl the internet in the right areas you will find many similar stories. We know that the terrorist organisations themselves use the internet heavily. There will always be the minority who take this kind of direction. It is not their fault if they truly believe the stories they tell.

Just like Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb, the inventor of the net, Tim something-hyphen-something, prophesied that there would come a day when it was hijacked by extremists, fraudsters and activists and we would all pay for the 'freedom' the net brought. We are now there.
Whilst these sites are scandalous, surely those encouraging british muslims to become suicide bombers (with some very persuasive propaganda) are even worse. Such is the price we pay in this land of ours for freedom of speech.

It Just shows that some people really dont know what they are talking about. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Of course these propoganda sites are going on about CCTV footage which the police have as evidence. Given the nature of the events, they're hardly going to reveal specific details into a mass murder investigation.
Whoever runs those sites needs to get a life.

They should also remember one of the fundamental differences between the British and US legal systems - we keep all evidence beyond that needed to get the public's help in tracking someone down secret from the public until it is released during the trial in court, mostly to avoid juries being prejudiced before they even start the trial.
Hence why the horrific pictures of the trains leaked from a US TV station - the police there thought it was perfectly normal to release such evidence.

It says there is CCTV footage of London to Luton, but do Thameslink have CCTV cameras in all their carriages? If so, that's news to me.

An easy way to check would be to look for the notices they have to display if there are any cameras. Something along the lines of "This carriage is fitted with CCTV ... the system is controlled by [company]"

Sorry to say this but aren't we in danger of falling into the trap of the propagandists here?
