Oh fuck, someone needs to tell Pence that some young men find other young men attractive and some young women find other young women attractive.......and Boudicca did a bit of fighting and leading of insurgents, a couple of millennia ago.
What a wanker.

An attack ad. A serious one. Interesting.

AcrossthePond55 · 19/06/2017 00:57

That GA ad is just terrible! Horrible! And I certainly hope it backfires on them badly. Disgusting.

(BBC) Incident at Finsbury Park, England: vehicle "mowing down a number of pedestrians". This is a breaking, developing situation so not much more is known at this stage.

I was just about to go to sleep and saw this:

Van hits several pedestrians outside a Finsbury Park Mosque. :(

AcrossthePond55 · 19/06/2017 02:15

They broke into our programming, but it was just a short blurb. They're saying that a van mounted a sidewalk outside a mosque. Someone has been apprehended and there are fatalities(?).

CaveMum · 19/06/2017 02:56

Am I the only one thinking this sounds like a copy-cat attack? I know ISIS and their like disapprove of a lot of their fellow Muslims but Finsbury Park Mosque has a history of being associated with radicals in the past.

TheClaws · 19/06/2017 03:31

Or revenge attack; or an attack on a different sect?

1 dead, several injured and a 48yr old male arrested. Counter terrorism police are investigating.

Lweji · 19/06/2017 07:32

The Telegraph quotes Sadie Khan and uses the expression "terrorist attack", albeit in "".

Reportedly he screamed "I'm going to kill all muslims".

Lweji · 19/06/2017 07:33

And that David Davis might become the next non elected PM.
Is this becoming a trend?

lionheart · 19/06/2017 08:09

It did in the past CaveMum but it has changed.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 19/06/2017 08:15

From the reporting so far, the driver at Finsbury mosque doesn't seem to be aligned to a cause or organisation. Would that make this a hate crime, rather than a terrorist attack? Either way, it is appalling that people have been targeted in this way.

As so often with the US military, the seven sailors killed in #USSFitzgerald collision are as diverse as the country they defend.

It's only a problem when someone opens fire at Republican members of Congress, though.

When's the last time Trump got favorable news coverage: bombing Syria to change the subject.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 19/06/2017 14:42

This is an opinion piece - but I think I agree with most of what it says - Trump is nothing more than just a thoroughly nasty piece of work. He didn't/doesn't have the nouse to collude with the Russians. However, he is now digging a hole to obstruct justice that hopefully he will fall right into, taking his despicable underlings with him.

If Trump were really in league with Russia, that would be reassuring for America's civic sanity.

Trump is likely to be found guilty of nothing more than being an unscrupulous jerk.
