Ah yes the snowflake argument when someone stands up to a tenuous at best conspiracy theory. Funny how you are so quick to challenge yet don't like to be challenged back.

As others have said all the evidence points to an accident. An accident waiting to happen maybe but an accident all the same.

But then why would I want to say anything bad about China on my Huwawei phone? They will be reading it and send the boys round.. .

To be fair, they probably can access what they want to on your phone although I suspect they cannot be arsed. But the links between Huwawei and the Chinese Government are absolute fact and there are serious reasons why questions should be asked of their involvement in certain segments of our communications set up.

I get your point about people being to quick to jump to a conspiracy theory when it is just people f***ing up, like they always have done, do and will carry on in the future.

I have an Huwawei phone myself and any Tiddly James Bond who wants to have a gander is quite welcome to but fears about the company are based on genuine fact.

It could be just an accident or it could be that someone noticed the stockpile and thought one small bomb and up it all goes.

As for China I have no doubt that they and other interested parties will try and profit from it whether they were responsible or not.

It's very sad Lebanon is supposed to be a beautiful country and Beirut was once known as the Paris of the east. Today it is a chew toy for the neighbouring countries and Iran to fight over.

One more point

So your aloud to challenge but I can't!
It's a report from june, not a conspiracy theory! You can make of it what you want, it's open to discussion but don't try and just close down debate like all the other snow flakes

It's a report, you are making it a conspiracy theory by suggesting something I suggest is not there.

I would equally suggest that by comments like 'find another forum,' and use of the phrase 'snowflake,' is the usual over aggressive d#ck swinging seen on certain threads that does not encourage debate it attempts to shut it down.

OK how about I think you are seeing something I don't exist and you disagree, seeing a possible attempt by China to move into and possibly destablise the Middle East.

We don't have to agree.

Go on, call him Gammon. You know you want to...
