One person dead, and lots with life threatening injuries.

the BBC headline on the radio said:

"And we can confirm that the Prime minister is safe"

Oh well thats alright then. As long as she is safe. :roll:

The Chase has been cancelled. Close the borders, enough is enough.

I was referencing the outcry on Twitter about the chase. Do an analogy about a high horse or something :roll:

Sounds like it's 2 nutters..The scariest thing is that they so easily cause such carnage.

I wasn't referring to your comments. Just using your phrase 'enough is enough' do calm down. No analogy needed.

Fair enough, the rolling eyes smiley made it look that way.

The picture of the attacker looks to be an Asian bearded man, rumours that someone is still at large on ITV news.

As much as its a horrific situation I can think of one orange coloured man who'll be looking rather smug.

And members of the public taking photos and indeed "selfies" beside ambulances and the injured, rather than help.......just beyond belief.

A very serious event and the Colonel just wants to take cheap political jibes. Does he not realise innocent people have been killed and injured. Did it matter which party was in power.

Just got back from London on train and crossed Westminster Bridge about 15 minutes before it all kicked off. Feel both lucky and sickened at the same time.

The picture of the Tory minister with blood on his face having tried mouth to mouth resuscitation on a victim transcends any minor political points people wish to make.

A Prime Minister of any party would have been shifted out sharpish.

I think the point is how disingenuous it is to say that May was ever in any danger from a nutter with a knife.. It's impossible to legislate for maniacs in a car with a knife. It makes you think that everyone could be in danger.. What do you propose we can do about it?

But no one knew the full extent of the danger at the time, so nobody takes any chances as no one wants to carry the can.

What political points are being made? sctatchinghead

I will explain again.

People were murdered but the BBC felt it important in their headline to tell us the PM was safe. As if that was more important than the innocent deaths.

Get it now?

As you used the conjunction 'and' it suggests the PM's safety wasn't the headline.

Copy and paste from the last time something happened?

It confuses me how a bloke like yourself who is clearly intelligent can come out with this tripe everytime something like this happens.

It's the first 'terroist attack' in this country for 12 years (the murder of Lee Rigby aside) so I'd suggest that some lunatic perpetrated to do this in name of whatever warped ideology is in a tiny tiny minority, and if he was a Muslim then as the Islamic faith makes just about a quarter of the Worlds population if he wasn't in a tiny minority we would we truly fucked. I'm saying no more as it's been done to death let's hope and pray it's longer until the next one of these sub humans commits another pointless and sickening act on our shores or anywhere.

It's only been 12 years thanks to the Security Services.

The main problem is you can't legislate for a nutter ..

Anyone can obtain a car and drive it in a crowded public place. Doubt even the most intrusive security could of prevented this atrocity.

If we label every such event as a terrorist attack rather than the act of a homicidal maniac are we not giving them the thing they require the most?

I think this is part of a massively complex problem, how the media report and label this incidents.

Neither of us were. Surely anyone can see any cheap swipes were at the immediate concern from certain news outlets being for the PM, not the copper bleeding out trying to protect her or the innocent victims.

Nevermind if you can't see that, more important things to worry about after such events.

I'll probably get shot down for saying so but as a terror attack, this is fairly tame. Any loss of life is sad but such a small scale attack won't be 'claimed' by any groups. It's not going to stop people carrying on with their lives tomorrow.
In my mind this is just some nutter simply because it lacks any real plan.

Terrible, tragic, senseless loss of life and, what appears to be, terrible injuries. Sounds like the Police were brilliant in stopping it being much, much worse. We have to try and show humanity in the face of inhumanity.

It's the media who's to blame then, they're the ones making the announcements about it, but just doing there job. As they're stood outside parliament, the crews will snatch at anything to fill the void of what's going on news wise. So as the PM drives past, they report it. I really can't see the problem. It's the media quite innocently reporting what's happening.

That wasnt quite my original point Snowy.

Innocent people had just been murdered but in one sentence the BBC stated that but in the same sentemce stated that the PM was safe.

The implication being that whilst we listened with horror at what was happening, our immediate thoughts were "Oh my god I hope the PM is safe".

It was a dig at the BBC for its crass headline, whilst people were suffering.

If you hadn't made the original comment in the first place (which adds about zilch to anybody's opinions sctatchinghead ) then you wouldn't appear as though you're flapping around trying to defend yourself . refred

As I said, blame the media. No that's wrong....they were just reporting moving events in the confusion. You're making the wrong assumption on your own preferences.
