'Explosion' on Parsons Green tube train - injuries reported after terrorist incident

[killer b]

such humility. it's humbling to witness it.

 

[Yossarian]

Maybe a thread about a terrorist attack that happened just a few hours ago isn't the best place for one of the stupidest arguments ever.

His description of the emergency service response to the Grenfell fire as 'breathtaking' was in catastrophically poor taste IMO.

Really sounds like you are trying to take offence here, rather then it be meaningfully given.

No offence.

And there is, famously, only one way of interpreting any word in the English language.

Indeed, which is why you need the context that word was used in. Khan actually said:

The way our firefighters, and emergency services, have responded has been breathtaking.

“The heroism, running into dangers, the fact that they have gone above and beyond the call of duty, has been remarkable."

Seconded!

I'm sure if there's any developments in the story things will get back on track. Until then, welcome to urban.

I everyone really thinks 'breathtaking' is an appropriate word to use when addressing the loved ones of people who have died from asphyxiation, I'll happily drop it.

How do you think your argument is going down here?

Not sure why Lidl are getting invovled

Lidl UK told the BBC, after one of the company's freezer bags appeared to have been used in the attack: "We are shocked and concerned to have learned of an incident at Parsons Green this morning and our thoughts are with those affected.

"We will, of course, support the authorities should they need our assistance in their investigations. We are closely monitoring the situation as it develops over the course of the day."

What do you think you have to gain by continuing to berate me after I've agreed to drop it?

May says we will defeat terrorists.

Nothing like being positive and realistic Tess.

It was believed that the store that sold the bag might hold clues (CCTV maybe) at one point.

standard reaction I'd have thought. Your brand name is out and about in high profile story, best give a response. It can't hurt.

Shouldn't really laugh but it's funny to imagine Lidl's pr team having a meeting about how best to respond. "We condemn in the strongest possible terms the use of Lidl carrier bags in terrorist attacks"

They missed a chance of selling the quality of their bag.

Its how Aldi will respond that should give us all sleepless nights.

Just seems lucky that in this case the bomb maker didn't seem to know their craft.

With a bit of luck we'll be seeing the cunt in custody soon.

I wouldn't dismiss this so easily. If you read it objectively it says that Scotland yard knew beforehand, which has been and usually is the case. The CIA were said to have warned about the Manchester arena bomber and the Barcelona attacks beforehand.

Could it be that warnings from the CIA were ignored this time or not acted upon fast enough and Trump is complaining about that?

Or is he jumping the gun?

 

[Jonti]

Let me think about this. Trump could be just saying shit again, like he does. Or he's been let in the loop on something significant.

Hmm...

Gutter press reporting that people in the crush on the stairs, following the stampede, were taking selfies.

This article is worth revisiting:

Needs to be publicised.

Or is he completely full of shit, and likes to pretend he is more in the loop than he is?

This shows a complete contempt for the local population. The Wimbledon Branch of the District Line is Waitrose territory. It's not right that they should be plagued by these cheap-skates with their economy bombs.

Well, an inept terrorist attack is still a terrorist act.

. And we have to be scared of Terrorists because that's what is expected of us. How many cyclists have been killed this year? How many teenagers have been stabbed or shot?
