Re: June 8th General Election

I think we are forgetting that we have an army of trained, armed soldiers who can be put on the street to support the police if needed.

If anything it is the public that needs to be trained how to avoid or deal with attacks in the street.

We have to accept that attacks can happen anywhere, anytime and we all need to be more vigilant.

Suicide bombers want to maximise deaths and thus they will target crowds so any large social gathering is a potential target.

Whenever we are out walking we need to be aware of our environment. People wearing earphones listening to music are unlikely to hear or be aware of a vehicle creeping up behind them at speed until it is too late.

Given the type of attacks so far we all need to ask ourselves what we would do if placed in the same situations as previous victims. We need to mentally rehearse our actions as if attacked we will have to be prepared to respond immediately.

While we are out enjoying ourselves we need to keep our eyes open; avoid drinking too much and wear appropriate footwear so that we can make a hasty escape as running in high heels is not easy.

Having pepper spray handy would also be useful in dealing with an armed attacker.

Police officers on patrol need to be apart as a sniper or bomber could easily take out officers if they walk too closely together.

We can enjoy ourselves but we just need to be more careful.

Re: June 8th General Election

Diane Abbott pulled out of R4's Women's Hour this morning, citing ill health. This being hours after yet another car crash interview on Sky News, in which she appeared vague when asked about a Terror report done by her own party.

Re: June 8th General Election

Thankfully i cannot believe there is a majority that would vote for corbyn despite his little group running amok on social media for me it's still just a question of how large a majority Theresa May will get though for a politician of her experience the campaign has been very poor at a time when she should have romped home.

After her last gaffe, you would think that the Labour party would have some kind of training programme to prepare shadow cabinet members on how to prepare for and conduct interviews.

Diane missed the Article 50 vote because of "migraine". Now she's cried off Women's Hour because she doesn't know a flying fig about her own Party policy. And we all know she can't do her sums.

What she needs is an afro; she was happier and more carefree when Jeremy was , ahem, visiting her .

Cried off....? More like hidden away. Two days before Election Day.

She should be kept on Airwaves. She is the Tories best spokesperson.

Must admit I cringed when I saw her being interviewed by Dermot and got a feeling we wouldn't see or hear much more of her this side of Friday. Thought they might 'replace' her on Radio 4 this morning and Emily Thornberry didn't do too bad a job - but would have struggled to do worse!

Cheers

No she hasn't, according to Corbyn Lyn Brown is taking over “for the period of her ill health”.

She'll be back.
