shots fired outside london parliament

a reply to: Damiel

It's just how I felt at the time of writing it (which was a few mins ago😁).
I just poor all that feeling in to what I write then I feel less anger and disappointment. I feel better having written it.

And as for the aggression it's more of a "oh dame thier getting closer strike back" response.

Just a highly cynical thought ...

Wouldn't it be highly judicial to, maybe, bury bad news
over the next few days or so ?

Who came up with that one, hmm ?

Not my call. Not really sure.
But I am glad that it was just a knife and not something worse like a bomb. This is not discounting the car mind that was so wrong. And I've always thought that murder can damage a soul.

Ahem...she needs to check her history...the oldest Parliament is Iceland followed very quickly by the Isle of Man...both around 900. The oldest democracy is probably Greece.

You'd have thought with such a serious incident that she wouldn't have needed a written speech, she could have said it all from the heart.

No where near Churchillian , and yes very poorly delivered

we didnt even vote her in so that grates me a bit we should have had another election.
heard nothing from the queen ether which is unusual

This just in. Unconfirmed reports alleging the car used in yesterday's Westminster attack was hired in Birmingham, UK. Police and armed forces rush to address in Britain's second city.

'Dozens of police rush to Birmingham address in connection to London terror attack'

ARMED police have swarmed a road in Birmingham after unconfirmed reports claim the car used in the deadly Westminster attack was hired from an address on the road.

According to eyewitnesses, armed forces stormed the Hagley Road at around 11pm on Wednesday.

I doubt this was islamic terror, the targets were political and police, not children and tweens partying.
My bet
The mentally ill conspiracy nut, because the real enemy in these days ....

The safest city in the world cctv works, ey?

Tavistock has long been associated with the human mind and controlling it. This bloke may be a victim of mind control. Hypniois hase been around for a long while and skills in the practice have been developed to a very high level.

A rational person who does something like this knows they are not going to survive their endeavour so why do it?

This may be a hint of their state of mind and can be an indicator of the perp being a mere bit player patsy in something that has been in the making for some months or even years.

How are they able to fire shots with such tight gun control?

a reply to: angeldoll
Mark Rowley, Britain's most senior counterterror police officer, told reporters late Wednesday that authorities believe they know the attacker's identity but are not releasing it, and are operating on the assumption the incident was "Islamist-related terrorism."

It is looking like a lone wolf attack.

Please dont use the words 'lone wolf'. Wolves attack in packs, they are pack animals, not lone anmals.

a reply to: Lysergic

Our tight gun control is why he was unable to fire shots , tight gun control doesn't extend to our armed police.

Press conference by Mark Rowley 2 minutes ago states original casualty figures appear slightly overstated.

Actual figures are 4 dead including 1 police and the attacker, and 2 members of the public. 29 injured including 7 critical.

7 arrests up and down the country.

Definitely not just some nut off his mess.

Not changing the thread level that's interesting

The threat level will only change if there is viable information of an attack on a specific target. Due to the resources involved, security is bolstered around the target.

The current threat level is based on general threat but with no specific target identified, which remains appropriate in these circumstances. There is some leeway to increase and decrease general security measures without changing the threat level.

Sounds like a group of radicalised animals.

but I was under the impression that no one was allowed to have guns in the UK?

Ignorance is bliss. There are over a milion firearms in the UK. But let's keep to topic.

Is this a loner intent on harm, or something beig over-blown?

That's 65x less guns percaptia than the USA. By the 'Right' standards over here, THAT IS NO GUNS, if we were at your levels it would be a police state! That's where the meme there is no guns in the UK comes from, the comparison to America. You're more likely to be shot annually with a hunting rifle in America, than like every gun event in South Korea combine.

So seven people arrested in connection to the attack so far.

Appears to be part of a terror cell.

Can we please just give these people the camel urine, gummi bears, and Nutella?

Apparently the nanny state isn't giving them enough?

Appears to be part of a terror cell.

They've arrested 8 people for questioning so far , being associates of the attacker does not make them part of a terror cell just as being a friend of a criminal doesn't make you complicit in their crime.

I know I am no warrior but I stand when I feel I must even if it's only though words!
And the poem was inspiring!
So here is one that I think you will like that I found online...

Demons run when a good man goes to war
Night will fall and drown in sun
When a good man goes to war
Friendship dies and true love lies
Night will fall and the dark will rise
When a good man goes to war
Demons run but count the cost
The battles won but the child is lost.

We must always remember what we fight for and what we and others stand to lose if we hold our silence

This is from a doctor who episode it's a good poem
