REPORTS OF LOUD BANGS AND GUNFIRE OUTSIDE UK PARLIAMENT
I was just sitting here wishing something would happen, to spice up this slow news day, and sure enough, somebody goes and shoots up Parliament. Happens every time. I feel pretty guilty.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this is Islamic terror.
And I had just heard on KFI radio this morning a commercial for refugees, with a man with a Middle Eastern accent saying “I wasn’t BORN a refugee. I became one.” See how you can help refugees if you are a good person, bla bla bla.

The irony here is that neither of those two immigrant groups cause any trouble. So it is quite unfair for the Brits to lump all “Asians” together.
Of course we all know why the Brits do it anyway.
Well, if the average bobby is only armed with a whistle, nobody could’ve stopped the SUV and/or its driver before it mowed down those pedestrians and made it to Parliament. Guess those pedestrians didn’t rate the same kind of protection the bloody pols get.
SkyNews report:
Police are treating this as a terorist attack, unless additional info shows otherwise.
FWIW, I’ve only heard the word Asian used on Sky once. Every description since has omitted that word.

Increased wolf attacks do not make sheep any more willing to fight back. The attacks just makes the sheep more frightened.
Do Parliamentarians use that bridge to go back and forth between Westminster and their offices? If so, wonder if there was a specific person or persons targeted?
Well, you can only extend your perimeter so far without restricting those civilians. But no, of course they don’t rate next to those very august augurers of the people’s best interests.
Mayor yoga pants day for ***cough*** immigrants, wasn’t that yesterday?
Police statement: “We are treating this as a terrorist incident” - BBC
LOL...was just going to post that.
from Sky News:
1) vehicle ran over series of pedestrians on bridge - up to 1 dozen ppl estimated
2) same vehicle smashed into people and front railings in front of Houses of Parliament — further casualties there
3) attacker left vehicle, managed to run into grounds “Old Palace Yard” — stabbed a police officer — other officers opened fire and shot attacker
Only one attacker definitely reported, same guy seems to have driven car and wielded the knife attack
One incident, 3 component parts
Police treating attack as “terrorist incident until we know otherwise”
First it was SUVs killing people, now it’s cars.
It’s like a Stephen King novel come to life!..................
> FWIW, Ive only heard the word Asian used on Sky once. Every description since has omitted that word. <
Interesting. Is the ethnic word “Asian” being replaced by something more descriptive, or is it being replaced by no description at all?
Well, if Parliamentarians are using that bridge, and pols are targets, seems to me like regular folks using that brudge might also rate some concern. Why aren’t there bollards/k-rails protecting the sidewalk from a vehicle? Seems like after the last couple of years, that would be a no-brainer.
No description at all.
An old Daffodil still on the road?................
