Fair play to this fella. Fronting them on his own, letting people escape.

"London attack: Football fan shouted 'F*** you, I’m Millwall' and took on knife-wielding terrorists with his bare fists" http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...ner-football-fan-lion-of-london-a7775246.html

Honestly if you are to ask me "So someone ran headlong at the terrorists on London Bridge, started attacking them with his bare fists and yelled F You, I'm 'guess the club'." 100 times out of 100 I would have guessed Millwall.
 
I meant in terms of security forces and police on the streets, barricaded roads, etc.

Again mate I'd suggest a long long way to go for that , we had military on the street for a couple of days to add to the depleted police numbers whilst At its peak over 20,000 soldiers were deployed in the North .

I accept that this is a real worry and might even be perceived as worse by those overseas (like many I've seen the US media reporting ) but to compare it to the North of Ireland where for example nearly 500 died in its worst year seems as yet an overreaction, fortunately.

Never any doubt , I did enjoy the 'learn to run ' book his mates had left as well . As I understand he's a proper lad . I think the other bloke Gerard Vowles who threw the pint glasses is millwall as well .

55 injured/dead in 8 minutes kind of makes me think there were a few that went at them, that number seems high considering most people would have been legging it.

This lad reckons so too:

‘I suspect with the number of attackers and the number of people who were attacked, it will have happened more than once. People must have fought back..’
 
So now the terrorists have been named and all are from outside the UK what odds that tomorrow the Tory press run with Labour wanting open borders and we won't be safe under Corbyn?

It certainly wouldn't surprise me especially when you factor in people were out socially and clearly drinking , is suggest increasing the odds of them getting involved . I'd imagine that was one of the main reasons they wore the vests to try and prevent people getting involved .

Good advice there. If attacked by a knife wielding Jihadi whilst your out with your missus for a bite to eat - grab the nearest thing to hand and use it as a weapon to defeat the beardies.

Understood. There's going to be a segment of the population (and government) who might be tempted though.
