Meanwhile, back on the subject:

'Depraved' attack - says Muslim Council
Posted at
13:47
The Muslim Council of Britain has condemned the attack and said its secretary general, Harun Khan, will join thousands of Londoners, including Muslims, at Trafalgar Square this evening.
"This attack was cowardly and depraved," Mr Khan said: "There is no justification for this act whatsoever.
"The best response to this outrage is to make sure we come together in solidarity and not allow the terrorists to divide us.
"My condolences, thoughts and prayers go to the families of the victims.
"I hope my Muslim brothers and sisters will reach out to fellow Londoners and Britons in solidarity to demonstrate that such hatred will not defeat our way of life."

The best response to acts like this.

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
In slightly uplifting news as well, although not sure that's the right word, a fundraising campaign for the family of the murdered Policeman has already reached £82,000.

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
The over the top media frenzy is getting somewhat cringe worthy now. And playing right into the terrorists hands.

I'd say that it is, but I'm biased

Possible attack foiled in Belgum
Quote:
A man has been arrested in the Belgian city of Antwerp after trying to drive his car into a crowd on a busy shopping street on Thursday morning, forcing pedestrians to jump out of the vehicle’s way.
Police stopped the French-plated car and arrested the driver this morning, apparently preventing an intended terror attack Thursday morning. Belgian newspaper 7Sur7 reports “weapons” were found inside the red Citroen car, and that bomb disposal engineers are presently on site.
The vehicle had been identified as suspicious by security services after it drove at high speed through a shopping street in Antwerp. The car was subsequently intercepted at the port of Antwerp and the driver arrested.
The mayor of Antwerp Bart De Wever called a press conference Thursday afternoon, calling the event a “possible attack”.

Re: Terrorist Attack Near Parliament, London
The emergency services and those civilians unfortunate enough to be caught up in yesterdays events who helped their fellow humans inside a danger zone yesterday have rightly been praised but I'd like to praise my fellow Londoners as well.
This morning around 16 hours after yesterdays tragic events I was working in a street called Strutton Ground, this is approximately 200-300 yards from Parliament Square, with the exception of the police helicopter that was still circling the crime scene Strutton Ground was its normal bustling rush hour self with people of all faiths and nationalities going about their normal business.
It brought home to me how pointless yesterdays tragic loss of life was, but reaffirmed the faith I have in the vast majority of those I share this great city with.

Yes. It was the same during the IRA campaign and I'm sure during WWII although I'm not quite old enough to remember that. It wasn't just London either - neither terrorists nor wartime enemies have stopped the British getting on with their lives wherever they took their terror.

l ain't interested what PM May says as she is simply stating what normal people already know but sadly you must have your rose tinted glasses on again because if you can't see that London is a great city then there really is no helping you Gary.

Thankfully I'll not be here to see it.

I remember when they said this about the Irish Catholic community in this country - it wasn't true then.
(I was a member of that community)

We're experts at going over the top. there's even call for a state funeral for the police man?

He actually just stated its not the greatest city, not that it wasnt a great city
On that point, I happen to agree with him as such (just not his idiotic way of posting it ).
Personally, I dislike London, and avoid it as much as possible.
