It seems to be another van driving into people. I live near there and have been hearing a lot of sirens. How scary and utterly depressing!

Well how the fuck do you know what's being said on twitter if you don't use it. Just go to bed.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 19/06/2017 04:14

I am able to read it User.

It doesn't mean I engage.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 19/06/2017 04:15

I don't know what your beef with me is?

ILikeyourHairyHands · 19/06/2017 04:20

And if you think this whole shitshow isn't being used for expediency and being egged on by idiots with an internet connection then you are either naive or stupid.

I'll let you pick which.

user1496484020 · 19/06/2017 04:21

I have to say the police are very restrained thankfully. I saw one guy trying to take a swipe at the man being arrested. They are very well trained in fairness to them.

I won't link it but Mail seems to have changed its fine and reporting it as a terrorist incident. Perhaps someone has seen sense.

PollytheDolly · 19/06/2017 04:38

Just the same as the previous attacks, this individual is a terrorist, with the same thing in his head as the rest of them. Hate.

I hope the media treats this equally.

My thoughts to all the victims. Sad

user1496484020 · 19/06/2017 04:55

Police have confirmed one death. London has gone bonkers. Afraid to get on a bus these days.

user1496484020 · 19/06/2017 04:56

Bostin - I'd say that is because police have confirmed counter-terrorism have become involved.

Mummyoflittledragon · 19/06/2017 05:23

Is this white on Muslim as pp suggested? Oh god, the world gone mad.

MercuryMadness · 19/06/2017 05:41

Stop reading the Fail. Just stop it.

They have millions of right wing readers plus the left wing rubber neckers and the sensibles who want to see how bad it can get in the Fail.

Which contributes revenue and makes them stronger.

Stop reading the Fail. Full stop.

This x 1000000

Even if it has juicy celeb gossip

I'm lost for words.

StealthPolarBear · 19/06/2017 06:30

Oh no not again

Saucery · 19/06/2017 06:37

Awful.
Media mostly reporting as terrorism.

Clalpolly · 19/06/2017 06:55

Obviously some terrorist twat. Why do it if not to cause terror.
If this turns out to be a "white European " let's hope they don't go down the "just a lone wolf" crap that they do in US for white American mass killers.

beepbeepimasheep · 19/06/2017 07:00

I wonder what daesh will say about it. I dread to think.

DHLawrence35 · 19/06/2017 07:02

Imam protected the driver til police arrived.

CivQueen · 19/06/2017 07:04

Fucking stupid bastard cunts!

Playing right into daesh hands.

I wish we could just round up all of the dangerously hateful cunts (from all creeds) and shove them on a far away island so the rest of us normies can go about our lives without being terrified of the crossfire.

Those poor people Sad I am saying that far too fucking much

SquirmOfEels · 19/06/2017 07:04

We know for sure that the van was white, little about the driver other than that a 48 year old man has been arrested.

Big cordon in place (lots of road closures, keep away from the area, tube unaffected) and the police ar describing it as a major incident (according to BBC just now).

1 death confirmed, 8 taken to hospital; being treated as potential terrorist attack and COBRA meeting later this am.

Killdora · 19/06/2017 07:07

Why is everything so fucked up?!

Just to add that just because this man was white doesn't mean he isn't associated with daesh.

Not that that is making excuses for him or saying it would be 'better' if he was or anything, but anyone can be radicalised.

StealthPolarBear · 19/06/2017 07:08

"DHLawrence35

Really? Wow that was brave. So he's still alive, I hope he gets what's coming to him

FinallyThroughTheRoof · 19/06/2017 07:09

Onlookers are calling it an Islamophobic attack.

It will have helped Daesh cause though.if it is an Islamophobic attack I hope people who went on about hate preaching causing terrotism will reflect this can go both ways

StealthPolarBear · 19/06/2017 07:09

Kill Dora I agree but I think this would be the first case of a white person being radicalised to this extent? Could be wrong. I thought the other day that it will probably happen sooner or later.

Picklepickle123 · 19/06/2017 07:13

@stealthpolarbear what do you mean by radicalised? By Isis? Or by the right wing propaganda we call press?
