His sisrter was reported to have said it too

Really? Who by Jim? Please tell us.

Was Abedi's friend a foreigner Jim?
Why do you think that?
Why do you think that I think that?
Obviously he might be. He or she might be absolutely anything!

Why not make list of everything you do know about this "friend" whose supposed comment is the only evidence for your whole case.

Will it be a long list Jim?
Or quite short?
Or completely non-existent?!

"YOU CAN'T TRUST FOREIGNERS"

Who are you quoting there Jim?
I would never say anything so ridiculous, so who did?
