That a major news organization had to say this about the President of the United States is something else.

He retweeted a report before he finally said his thoughts are with the victims.

No hiding what he really thinks.

Glad everyone and family and friends are ok.

BBC are reporting that ISIS have been calling for more of this kind of attack in recent days. As a counter-terrorism expert said, these low-tech style attacks are incredibly hard to predict - anyone can hire a van and buy a knife.

I echo the sentiments of admiration for the security services last night - from the first 999 call to shooting dead the attackers was just 8 minutes.

Not to mention they were running towards people who appeared to be wearing suicide vests.

Dreadful news again.

As usual, Trump cannot manage to be Presidential, or pass himself off as a decent human being (except as an afterthought).

Pain, I don't know about the picture either (is that a little SM dungeon?) but I would bet that before this is over there will be leaks of material we will see even if we don't want to look.

After all, Kompromat of any kind works best when used against those with the most power rather than those who have lost it.

So glad to hear everyone is okay this morning.
Well if there were any doubts about how low SCROTUS can go, he has managed to show the world in 2 tweets.

I'm just so relieved that all the attackers have been exterminated (please excuse the term but that's all they're fit for). At 3am last night Police were thinking one was on the run which obviously was causing awful panic, but it does sound now that it is all contained which is all we can hope for at this stage. I take comfort from the statement I've just watched from Cressida Dick (Met Commissioner). She was calm and measured.

Roussette · 04/06/2017 09:45

Yes Cave such brave police and members of the public.

lionheart · 04/06/2017 09:47

Aside from actual proximity to the scenes of violence there seem to be so many ways in which terrrorism comes 'close to home'.

I guess that ripple effect is the point.

To be honest, I would have been shocked if the election was cancelled or rescheduled.

originalbiglymavis · 04/06/2017 10:58

I'm not sorry they have been shot and killed. Cowards who will be lionised by other bastards. I guess its bloody hot where they are now.

Lweji · 04/06/2017 10:59

I do wonder if it will affect the results, though.

originalbiglymavis · 04/06/2017 10:59

That should have been not sorry they were shot but sorry they are not alive.

originalbiglymavis · 04/06/2017 11:00

I see ukip are the only party not to suspend campaigning. Tossers. I'm sure they will be using this event for their in benefit.

What DOES bring politics into disrepute?
Channel 4 vs David Davies (it could also be Trump)

GingerIvy · 04/06/2017 11:36

Theresa May is already getting a backlash. She lowered the rating of danger, as well as the ongoing Tory cuts in police which has lowered the number of police on our streets. That's being brought up a LOT.

Dan Rather who's been around for decades has written a very interesting article about Trump.

crooksandliars.com/2017/06/dan-rather-trump-most-psychologically

I honestly believe the Paris Accord pull out was him pissed off with Merkel and Makron and trying to shore up his fanbase and Rather has said more or less the same. (Not that I know anything but it was my sort of take on it, no a difficult conclusion to come to TBH, given that Trump has no knowledge on anything)
