Current Affairs Reports of shots outside UK Parliament

Dont need a gun .......... seems a motor car is a pretty potent weapon.

As a point of interest, it is perfectly possible to kill with a sheet of A4 paper.

If he'd of had a gun there would have been a higher death toll than there currently is, instead of stabbing one policeman he could have unloaded on both and dozens of citizens.

Guns being hard to access is a good thing, it may not solve people using vehicles as weapons but it definitely helps keep body counts down.

And look who just happened to be passing:



Pity he wasn't run over, the snidey little rat.

*shakes head

Such opportunism over a terrible incident is cowardly.

Not that you'd expect anything else from this odious individual.

 

[ToffeeTim]

This fella was open in how much he wanted to kill people. Devastating that he's been allowed to kill innocent people. There's tolerance and theres irresponsibility. This is the latter.

If this is true, then I think some questions need to be asked somewhere. This fella has been at every extremist rally, I've not seen one Anjem Choudry video with him not on it, he's been preaching this and it's been allowed to get to this stage with him free on our streets. Shameful.

How would they have stopped him?

Sad for those dead injured or affected.

That said I hope the country doesn't go into fortress mode and armed police everywhere.

A few sensible precautions and stiff upper lip, keep calm and go about our normal business is the best attitude to take IMO

Madness, but hardly terrorism.
Just watch the right wing press go overboard and demand we invade Iran in retaliation.

It is .

No they won't.

Stop being silly.

In much the same way they banged up Choudary. This fella was cut from the same cloth. He should've been in jail for inspiring and promoting hate. They pray on the weak and vulnerable.

This event will have a 2 way effect. 1. It is utterly decerstating and 2. It will drive a further divide between Muslim and non Muslim. We will get nob heads like Robinson who will force young, disillusioned Mullins right into the hands of preachers like this absolute (insert bad word) who did this today.

Early on the aftermath of events, but at this point sounds pretty much spot on...

Terrorism - Unlawfully use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

"As you know we have declared this a terrorist incident and the Counter Terrorism Command are carrying out a full scale investigation into the events today" From Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley

But, I suppose you know best......

To be totally fair there is absolutely no way that we have the resources to put teams on people 24 years a day . You'd need probably a minimum of 16 people per 24 hrs to follow one person .

There has to be a prioritising of resources, clearly this bloke has been high profile media wise at least but there will be probably a few active threats at the moment . What can the security services do ?

They have generally done a pretty good job of preventing attacks , resources aren't endless . Clearly this bloke was a huge threat but it's a nightmare call for those on charge .

I see what you're saying, but I don't watch a lot of the stuff on this issue, but his face was instantly recognisable. I don't think that can be right. He was high profile.

Yup. Sounds like a nutter with thankfully little imagination.
Could have been a lot worse without really trying.
