It's all the fault of the Internet

The tone of this report in The Telegraph is unfortunate.

"A police source said: "There are several possibilities, one of which is that this was a home-made explosive which was cooked up using a recipe on the internet. The methods for making these liquid bombs are all over the internet.

"We have seen with recent terrorism trials that there are plenty of things on the web, but it would obviously be an extraordinary and disturbing development if a girl gang has decided to settle a dispute in such dramatic and tragic way.""



We should not blame the Internet for this attack. The Internet has all this information but then the information also resides in books. The Internet is often a convenient scapegoat when one is required to cover the basic breakdown in society in this country.
