Jesus f christ. I just did the idiotic thing of reading Katie Hopkin's bit on this. Will she edit now it turns out he was British? of course not. because "These people may have left their lands. But they have brought every tension, every conflict, every bit of fight here with them.."
 
Has any MP yet challenged our continued arming of Islamic extremists? In the context of an attack by an Islamic extremist one might think it quite pressing.
Yes, it would seem a good way to stop further attacks. In the spirit of tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime..... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Someone in the MPS communications department seems to be a really big fan of either The Bangles or The Nazis

Cressida Dick, the incoming Met commissioner, Craig Mackey, the acting commissioner, and other officers held a minute’s silence in front of the “eternal flame” alight outside New Scotland Yard on Victoria Embankment, within sight of Westminster Bridge. The new headquarters was set to be formally opened by the Queen on Thursday but the ceremony was cancelled.

Hopkins is ex-Sandhurst- she is part of the problem

Arming them with cars and kitchen knives? Never knew that was a government sanctioned program.

OK, I caved in and read it.:mad:


Fuckity byebye.
 
Not mother of democracy; mother of parliaments.

The expression was coined by John Bright in a speech on 18 January 1865.

It's weird how phrases pop into currency about a dozen politicians Have referred to the act of emergency services running towards danger and everyone runs away as a motif in speeches.
 
12/40 of the victims are british, the rest not british according to May - does this mean after brexit, terror attacks will be 66.7% less bloody ?
 
Tend to agree, something along the lines of the Power of Nightmares thesis, the Adam Curtis film from just after 9/11 - don't agree with his whole thesis, fwiw, but he has a point with how events like this are used by the powerful. In staging this attack just outside Parliament it really is as if the terrorists are colluding with those in power to allow them to present themselves as our protector (in practice of course, I haven't gone all conspiraloon). That seemed to happening even last night as the journos and parliamentary correspondents rattled on about this 'symbolic attack' on the mother of parliaments. Partly that was just about who they were, parliamentary correspondents who were likely to rattle on about stuff like that and happened to be in situ when an attack happened. However, I have a feeling its going to be a major theme in the way '22/3' passes into history.

I have been a bit surprised ed by the political journalists describing the novel nature of the attack on parliament, didn't the IRA fire mortar shells into the garden of No 10 while Major was there?, no one was killed, iirc, but the intent was there, it may be the brutal nature of this attack, but mortars do horrific damage to their victims as well.
 
Her latest piece of bile something special, it says 'these people aren't extremists they're just more devout'. It says 'They are simply more devout. More true to their beliefs. Beliefs which will be supported endlessly across our state broadcaster for the next few months until we buy into the narrative that one religion is not to blame'.
That may be actionable hate speech i don't know.
