This is just ridiculous.

Mustn't offend Muslim Barbarians.

Are CNN and Fox covering this non stop?

Problem is the cameras do not prevent crime, they only help track down the culprit.. and not always too well.

Having firefighters doesn't prevent fires either...but I'm damn glad they're there. No, the cameras may not prevent crime but if they help, in any way, in catching the perps then I'm glad they're there too.

As another poster stated, you have no right to expect privacy on public streets and sidewalks.

Personally, I’m with Rosie. If she says fundamentalist Christians are just as dangerous as Islamists, well then, by God, put my money down on some bible-thumper being responsible for all this...

(do I really need a /sarc tag?)

give up my privacy

You have no expectation of privacy when you're out in public.

It's why they call it "public."

I didn’t know London had a Mafia problem.

Some home-grown types, and the Russians have made inroads there much like they have in New York, LA, and other American cities.

Coming to a town near you. Muslims are embraced by the government in the UK, just as all illegals are here in the current United States of America.

Buchanan has it right, we here in the USA are being invaded by numbers that boggle the mind. If this illegal flood is not stopped now, our towns will see the same type of activity.

MI5 is the equivalent of our FBI while MI6 is akin to our CIA.

If you want to read a real good book on MI5 read “Spycatcher” by Peter Wright. He spent his career with MI5 and give real good insight into MI5 from after WWII to the late 70s.

I think so.

If this is as it appears - an attempt on night life, then firstly they picked a night too early and secondly, if there is more out there, it will certainly mean a big increase in security this weekend and tonight.

I wouldn’t expect an attack because they usually hold off in the aftermath of something like this - but there is always a first time.

“Yeah, I know, i told ya I get them mixed up, what is the name of the agency that covers terrorism within their country?”

MI5, as USF said.

Just for your info, there were once MI1, MI2, MI3, etc, but most were shut down or integrated into the two that remain: MI5 and MI6.

*goes and checks* MI4 apparently was the Aerial Reconnaissance unit :o)

I’m still not sure the nightclub was the target. There are plenty of well known places in that area and if the apparent crash was accidental he could have been going anywhere.

Maybe somehow, the fact that there would not be the same number of people out made it easier (so they thought) to mobilise these car bombs versus a Friday or moreso Saturday night when clubs really get packed.

Bali, a nightclub was hit which was very serious; in Germany some years ago though I don’t think it was major. This kind of bombing has happened before.
