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

@Jizzle things remain closed because of doing a thorough investigation. It’s a major crime scene. There will be a wide perimeter and the whole area will be forensically examined. It could take a couple of days. Stop being a tool and just be grateful you weren’t directly involved.

I just hope Corbyn and the major Khan do not start trying to say it is government cuts to the police which has caused this like they did straight after Grenfell tower.The public showed amazing bravery they should get the accolades not the emergency services as the public disarmed the man without any guns

It looks as if it was planned, not just a one off, also another one

@AlwaysCheddar agree 100%!

Those people, I can’t imagine why was going through their heads, so brave of them

Only you doing that Laura

Holland too.

Shocked at the posters moaning about the inconvenience of the station being closed. This is a city where if one misses one of the every 2 minutes underground trains it's the end of the world.

Just horrible ... I lived through the Birmingham bombings and that was horrific. My mum and I were on the top floor of a department store in Birmingham when an alarm went off and we were told to vacate the building because there was a bomb. We could not use the lifts or the escalator and I thought we were going to be blown up because of the pub bombings... one of the most terrifying times of my life.

So amazingly proud of all those people who stopped this attack. I can't say how thankful I am they stepped in to help the Police and the message this now sends to other potential terrorists.

To all those families involved to today's attack so so sad.

Goodness and The Hague. What a world we live in.

They’re talking about the train station, not the tube station.
London Bridge is a big terminal station, taking people out to Kent way, and presumably others. Bit far to walk..

It remains closed as it’s a crime scene honestly. Do you expect them to move the bodies to one side so they don’t inconvenience the people of London?
No I don’t have any sympathy with people who are mildly inconvenienced, I’ll save my sympathy for the family of the people who have died.

Why can’t you have sympathy for both? As above, why do you think they choose cities? It’s for maximum disruption...
I feel sorry for the families of the victims, and also for the people who are stranded and maybe unable to get home. What if they have kids to get home to?

Nige- we just sat watching the coverage here in Italy and dp said "look, that's the difference between you lot (Brits) and us. We'd all just either run away or pretend we hadn't seen it"
I think he was kind of joking, but your friend and the others were terribly brave and so were the police officers that LauraBradshaw doesn't think deserve a mention for y'know, risking their lives every time they go to work...

Thoughts with the passers by and police officers involved in this awful situation.
Brave, brave people.

@LauraBradshaw, did you just say the emergency services should not get accolades? What bullshit, the public were brave absolutely but the police and ambulance services also rushed to the scene, dealt with a man wearing what at the time everyone thought was a bomb and saved peoples lives too. The thing is those members of the public had a choice, they could've ran away, the police didn't have the choice, the police knew they could be killed but had no choice but to rush to the scene

You want me to have sympathy for people who are an hour late home when people have died? How ridiculous. I am often delayed on the train due to fatalities. I would never want someone to have sympathy for me when families are devastated.

The anti terror police were kitted out with bullet proof vests and helmets and all had guns and are highly trained and had time to know what they were letting themselves in for.The members of the public who intervened before the trained specialists got there disarmed the man and stopped him from causing more mayhem and they were all unarmed and they did the polices job for them whist being untrained and unarmed

I usually work in Bank, not Fridays to look after the kids.
I watched the footage and felt those people that jumped the terrorist were insane brave. Love poured out of me for them because really it is so fucking depressing that this is happening to us, to London on a recurring basis. I feel this fear, subliminally every time I take the tube, every time someone speaks loudly in a public setting or I see people running. I guess I could leave, and live somewhere safe and sedate but I do love this City, now more so.

Dreadful day for London and massive courage from the ordinary people and emergency services personnel involved. I hope anyone whose homeward journey is delayed will hug their children and thank the universe they’re unharmed when they eventually get there.

Why can’t you have sympathy for both? As above, why do you think they choose cities? It’s for maximum disruption...

Are you for real? Two innocent people have died today. Get your priorities right FFS.

Don’t be deliberately provocative @LauraBradshaw This is the wrong thread.

Don’t want to interrupt all this pompous self aggrandising flouncing but London Bridge station reopened a couple of hours ago and trains are running just fine.
