Facts and common sense only please. False-flag conspiracy bullshit, racism, Islamophobia etc will be met with bans as I'm sick of wasting my time having to delete it.

Thank you, Tony

Two incidents being reported now; London Bridge and Borough Market.

 

[Tony Lockhart]

Fact. This happened just five days before a general election.

Is that OK Tony? It's a fact? If not please explain why?

Well how about the attacks that happened at other times? Sorry, these attacks will happen after this election, and before the next one too. No more than coincidence.

Sky now reporting terrorism.

Thread title should reflect this.

One witness reporting Police firing shots into Tapas Brindisa on the corner of Borough Market and a van crashed outside.

Indeed they will Tony and Corbyn has been pilloried by the media for having the audacity to question why.

We are expected to just accept that?

I find that remarkably authoritarian and would expect more from a liberal and free society - the sort of society we are supposed to be protecting.

Christ on a bike.

Sky now reporting a 3rd incident in Vauxhall.

I eat there once a month......makes my blood run cold.

Watching BBC live. Something bad is happening.

Hope people are ok.

Multiple stabbings, multiple shots fired and eye witness saw bomb disposal robot on scene at Southwark Tavern.

Please do not bring religion into this.

Perhaps I should have used 'FFS' or 's**t the bed'. Would that have been a better way to express my shock / disbelief?

 

[matt j]

More than one fatality at London Bridge scene.

 

[notaclue]

Multiple deaths confirmed on BBC Radio. But no figure. Police just confirm "more than one".

Here's hoping they connect with their target.

Must be chaos for the Police, how the hell they turn up to multiple scenes like this and establish exactly what is going on is mind boggling.

 

[TheDecameron]

It's beginning to sound like the Mumbai attack.

Training. Being dedicated and professional.
I've seen them working and it's superb.
Gold, silver, bronze command. Google it.

Yes I understand they're extremely well trained.

I meant when the scenes involve many people, presumably many of which have had a drink or two at 22:30 of a Sat evening, deciphering fact from panic/exaggeration must be very tricky

Experience.

As well as London Bridge, there have been troubles in Borough Market and Vauxhall.

Several people in the London Bridge area have died. It is not clear whether they were both run over by the white van.

There have been stabbings in Borough Market and shots have been fired.

It is unknown yet whether the three incidents are connected. Scary times.
