    Default A Literal Attack on British Democracy

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-39355505

    Reports are sketchy but it seems a guy drove across Tower Bridge "mowing down pedestrians" before dashing through the gates to the Palace of Westminster and stabbing a Police Officer. Then he was shot by another Police Officer shortly thereafter.

    Ministers and MPs evacuated, apparently they've put the Lords in a Panic room in the basement, no other news as yet.

    1 dead several in critical condition. Met are assuming terrorism.

    My condolences to the victims and their families. These mad men are not off short supply.

    2-1 home grown Muslim
    5-1 foreign muslim
    10-1 disgruntled pro brexiter
    25-1 leftist upset about brexit
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    You forgot the disgruntled Irish Nationalist out for blood now that Martin McGuiness has died.

    With him using his car as a battering ram the likelihood is casualties will rise.

    And to what purpose?

    The pictures purported to be the attacker were reported to be 'brown with Islamic beard'. So it looks like option 1 or 2.

    Three of the wounded were teenagers from Concarneau. My hometown in Brittany. Crap.

    Stiff upper lip hard to be kept now... Frag must be right: better get used to it.

    So, it's really option 5 - a crazy Brit.

    Maybe the place to fight would be the home of the Wahhabist, Saudi-Arabia, which is yours and US key ally at Middle East. Likelihood to that to happen.....

    IMHO, we should automatically monitor anyone who's converted to Islam since 11th September 2001.
