nice one paddick
'muslim and terrorist do not go together'

 

[Cid]

Great little speech by Paddick 'First may I say that Islamic and terrorist are two words that simply do not go together' (paraphrased)

 

[Lisarocket]

Expecting more attacks when? And based on what?

I don't think he went into detail. He just warned her.

good man.

 

[jæd]

It's their job to expect more though isn't it? They'd get battered if they allre laxed and there was a second wave.

As for the shooting thing ... obv. the guy can't say too much, but my mate at reuters def. made it sound like they weren't being ALLOWED to release the story, rather than it might not be true ....

Just been denied by the police (BBC)

Indeed, i'm glad such a superior officer has said that. Aint he the first public figure to say that? Ohh he's just said they have no reports of police shooting anybody dead too...

 

[Pigeon]

Be vigilant.

What, precisely, is that supposed to mean? Don't catch a bus if it looks like it might have a bomb on it?

Very useful.

 

[magneze]

Terrorist shot at Canary Wharf has been denied at the press conference.

Terrorist shot at Canary Wharf has been denied at the press conference.

I wouldn't say it was a denial he just said he hasn't got any reports of it!

 

[soluble duck]

I suspect there may be more attacks in cities other than London in the evening rush hour.

Be vigilant.

Perhaps in England, as you suggest, but Im not sure that they will necessarily be in different countries as the Al Quaeda statement threatened violence if troops were not pulled out, not that there would be any more

 

[Cid]

I wouldn't say it was a denial he just said he hasn't got any reports of it!

You would think the police would know what their own snipers are doing though.

 

[ddraig]

agreed, will come out later or tomorrow

10 o'clock news when everyone's safe at home

 

[hektik]

might not have been police snipers tho.

 

[fucthest8]

You would think the police would know what their own snipers are doing though.

Youd fucking HOPE so!

 

[Poi E]

Police down here near Docklands seizing records from a major data centre.

 

[Flavour]

What, precisely, is that supposed to mean? Don't catch a bus if it looks like it might have a bomb on it?

Very useful.

Don't get a bus at all if you don't want to take the risk!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I would expect that those who did the shooting or ordered the armed response team knew, I wouldn't assume in such an enviroment of info control that it would of got all the way up to Paddick.

 

[madzone]

might not have been police snipers tho.

might not have happened at all

 

[maomao]

33 dead doesn't include the bomb on the bus (BBC).

 

[Lisarocket]

Paddick has just said he's not aware of any controlled explosions...

Doesn't know much, or doesn't want to say much...

 

[mysterygirl]

The BBC keep reporting an unknown number of fatalities on the bus. I can only presume it's because they can't work it out yet.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

might not have been police snipers tho.

That's very true also.

 

[hektik]

might not have happened at all

also true.

 

[Phototropic]

That is something I wouldn't think about too deeply

It is weird. You see Israeli buses blown up or something else but when you seen one which is red on a London road it suddenly takes on a whole new meaning

 

[Pigeon]

Don't get a bus at all if you don't want to take the risk!

Or we could just never leave the house...

 

[rennie]

im watching the press conference at the moment... Paddick is very good! It sounds like everything is under control again. Perhaps by late today I can catch a bus home!

 

[Kameron]

Here is the London blasts: At a glance which is the best time line I've seen so far.

 

[ddraig]

paddick is covering a lot of areas and people and hence info
he's not gonna have all the answers and can't let some out yet
imo

and he's doing great, a copper i believe

I know what you mean. I really fucking hope there aint no public backlash that goes along the lines of kill the fuckers etc...
