DUBAI: Defiant British Twitter users are poking fun at Daesh after the group claimed responsibility for Saturday’s terror attack in London.
Proving they will not be cowed, users have taken to Twitter with typically British humor to ridicule the group by blaming them for a series of worrying issues – including the shrinking size of Quality Street tins.

Despite the harrowing events of Saturday — the third terror attack in the UK in as many months — the hashtag #IslamicStateClaims, which uses another name for Daesh, is making the rounds.
Who let the dogs out? Well, it could be Daesh.
Okay, okay. I need to get this off my chest: I let the dogs out. #IslamicStateClaims

The tweets then took a risqué turn.
