London Bridge incident **WARNING from MNHQ - graphic content**

[Beveren]

Anyone there? Reports are sketchy at the moment. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2019/nov/29/london-bridge-incident-police-city

Correction:- at least 1 fatality

Speculation it started on bus?

Civilian fatality.

Not good.

Can someone please clear up something, SkY news reported that Owen Jones cycled into the incident, why would someone do that?

Well, if the incident is over then the station will be shut for investigative purposes, saying that’s inconvenient if one has to travel through London Bridge to get home doesn’t mean that they wish others ill, it just means that it’s inconvenient.

There are are reports that the police shot someone in the head. Presumably a terrorist suspect?

Because he's a journalist Hold

Not half so inconvenient as being stabbed.

tobee where are they reporting that there was a fatality?

It was very brave of the passersby to intervene and disarm him.

I too felt tearful watching the police officers running towards the incident when everyone else is being evacuated.

Sky news have reported the civilian fatality

Same as journalists going into war zones, landing on d day beaches with troops etc

The police That

It might be inconvenient that travel plans are disrupted, but at least they are safe and well. I really harshly judge people who moan about stuff like this. Like people who moan when trains are delayed because someone has died on the tracks. Hear hearted, selfish gits.

Apparently he was stabbing people but is not dead himself- from reliable source

Hold from the interview I heard, I don't think OJ deliberately cycled into the incident. He was just cycling in that area when it happened.

Oh, so sorry my london friends. Praying for you all.

He's severely wounded at best because there's footage of him being shot by police.

I think a lot of journalists know they are expected to report on stuff they come across.

A random BBC journalist happened to be in the area. He said he was going about non work business but, naturally, stopped to report in.

tobee thanks. Praying that there are no more fatalities.

Of course you can feel inconvenienced and also sympathy for anyone injured or affected by the attack.
In case anyone unfamiliar with London is wondering how to travel without LB being open, you can take the northern line/ DLR from Bank or Borough, and the national rail from Blackfriars.

Might not be terrorist related

There was a innocent man walking back to work in Edinburgh in the summer just past and a mentally ill guy killed him, just walked up to the poor man and stabbed him. People passing by grabbed the man and held him until the police and paramedics arrived, they were very brave as is anyone who tries to help in these terrible incidents.

*London Bridge station looks like it will be closed for a few hours more which is pretty annoying

Yes. Because your inconvenience is the most important thing*

And how would you feel if you needed to be somewhere urgently eg to get home to kids? It's ok to be annoyed that some nutter may make it difficult for you to get home.

Manon it's the STATION not the bridge (which may well be shut as well) which has hundreds of thousands of people passing through it every day. So yes it is an issue if it is closed. And those of you who get all judgey, stop the virtue signalling.

Might not be terrorist related No such thing as "terrorist", just murdering arseholes.

No such thing as "terrorist", just murdering arseholes Nearly always male too. We don't have a terrorist problem, we have a male violence problem.

Will posters stop bickering ffs
