so let me get this straight: the UK is very pointedly saying ‘please do what you have always done in these situations where a terrorist attack has happened on British Soil and keep the sensitive intelligence we entrusted to you quiet until we give you the go ahead.

and trump’s government has leaked pretty much everything to the press, thus hindering the investigations here to the point where our home sec has had to censor intelligence we’re now giving the US, our closest ally

okay a lot of people don’t know what i’m talking about, so here’s a link

but the main gist is: trump’s government has leaked to the US press, and thus the world:

– the name of the bomber
– the fucking forensic photos from the investigation

these may seem like small things but first off:

– our government didn’t want to name the bomber until thursday/tuesday, so they could continue their investigation without alerting anyone he may have been working with
– they also didn’t want the media hanging around his family or his flat, which they ended up doing
– they’re the fucking forensic photos of evidence, still covered in blood, is there no such thing as tact

our home sec has been forced to now censor all further intelligence we give to the US on this matter, and has released [what i may call, light heartedly, the most british angry political statement i’ve ever read]

“The British police have been very clear that they want to control the flow of information in order to protect operational integrity, the element of surprise. So it is irritating if it gets released from other sources and I have been very clear with our friends that should not happen again.” 

so in the past two week slaone, trump’s government has managed to reveal intelligence from israel and the uk, two of their closest political and military allies.

i reiterate:
