Talk:1999 London nail bombings

message: Just for the record, the police's exhaustive analysis of CCTV footage had nothing directly to do with Copeland's eventual capture. He was only tracked down after one of his workmates (who also worked with Copeland's dad, all of them employed on the building of the Jubilee Line extension) recognised his picture in the newspaper and told the police who Copeland was. Even then, the police were slow to take action and the small number of officers who eventually went to Copeland's address weren't even armed! If Copeland had decided against coming quietly, the arrest could have ended in disaster because Copeland had a loaded crossbow next to his bed! I'm not knocking the police, I'm sure they tried their hardest, but if it hadn't been for the intervention of Copeland's workmate, they may not have captured him before he set off another bomb or two! Scary stuff!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.185.113.67 (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2003 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[CCTV]] 

message: I came to this article via List of terrorist incidents in the United Kingdom which mentions Copeland in a sub-list of "terrorist-like incidents". Does anyone know why this guy was charged with murder and not terrorist offences? --Kick the cat 00:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "The man believed to inspire David Copeland was David Myatt, a National Socialist Movement leader and leading figure in Combat 18 who later converted to militant Islam. -- I didn't see any mention of this in the cites given for that paragraph. Please cite if returned to the article. (Or if it is already cited, where?) -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 16:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Myatt connection apparently not cited

message: I've removed this category as an inaccurate portrayal. Copeland is entirely known for his bombing campaign. While this took place in a "gay district" it is also worth noting that this was a centre of immigration, and given that he's repeatedly claimed his sole intent was to cause a "race war" there's no reason to assume that homophobia played a part. If someone can provide reliable references showing something different (please, not The Sun) I'll happily reinclude it. Ironholds (talk) 17:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You've got to be joking. He bombed a gay pub. It's clear that homophobia was the primary issue here, regardless of what Copeland himself claims. Yes, he has issues with race as well but this is not an either/or situation. He can be racist AND a homophobe. Category restored. 80.47.118.162 (talk) 18:13, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

message: A far right, anti-immigration party? No. They are a racist party, specifically white supremecist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.237.85.247 (talk) 14:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [[British National Party|BNP]] description

message: The caption of the photo of the baby with the nail in its head says "X-rays..." but the detailed information of the .jpg says "CAT scan".  Which is it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjemmott (talk • contribs) 13:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: [[CT scan]] or [[X-ray]]?

message: I think the article could be improved by adding more detail of the victims and effect on the victims lives. There is a memorial to the man who died inside the pub in Soho.--Hemshaw (talk) 20:45, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
