Yikes.
Hopefully no foul play and is just a utilities accident or something.

IG said it was a trash heap that went up in flames. Not sure if that is true of course

Exactly. But what libsoftiktok did there is a very passive form of manipulation. There is zero context given. Which leaves the reader to assume the worst (some form of terrorism or outright war based on the location and recent history) from her subscribers who are wanting to reach that conclusion already. Maybe it is terrorism. It wouldn’t be the first time. But the rush to go there before we really know anything is one of the problems with social media. shite like this is another way that we further our societal breakdown which is already really really bad. People need to slow down and let investigations happen. But when social media is monetized who gives a shite… it’s about clicks and driving engagement. “Explosion in London” does that.
“An explosion in London is currently being investigated. Earlier reports of a gas leak are thought to be the cause. More at 11.” doesn’t really do that.

Holy frick
The headline is literally just “Explosion in London”
Literally no other statement could be more factual or less biased.
The only person who rushed to a conclusion or assumed anything is you. You just assumed that because of the messenger that, presumably, you don’t like said the word explosion that must automatically mean they and her readers want it to be terrorism.
Such a narrow minded point of view.

Here's a thought, maybe, Muslims should enter legally, and when entering legally assimilate, and not randomly stab mother's or innocent natives, chant "death to the west" and blow shite up. The problem isn't, "libsoftiktok provided a link with no content", the problem is with Islam. If it wasnt', then you wouldn't have to make a retarded post like this.

Take a look at some of the responses in this thread. She did her job.
By the way the fire is at a recycling plant.

Is it even clear that it involved an "explosion"?

Remember when libs of Tiktok posted… libs of TikTok as opposed to being some sort of aggregator/outrage machine/click farmer? Good times

Then why on Earth would anyone ever consider a country overrun by muslims, could be responsible for a fire/explosion in London? Stereotypes exist for a reason. If you don't like it, ask the Muslims to be better. Ask them to be peaceful, and ask them to not condone those that are not.

Well, other than posting “Explosion in London!!!” when there was, in fact, no explosion in London.
Other than that, you’re right. Completely factual and not at all biased (ie, manipulative).

Back then you only posted that it was "fake" followed up by "they're outliers. both sides have extremes!!" finally followed by "Trump, Reeeeeee!!! of course everyone thinks that way!!"
