    Scary watching Sky News and seeing hoards of people running passed my office and local cafe. Should've been on the way back from London Bridge tonight for a work project except I decided to leave it until tomorrow. Glad I decided to be a lazy b@stard now.

    The failed foreign policy of the UK and US has to be looked at

    It seems like London is becoming the new Paris and the UK the new France

    I hope it's a drunk driver and not another terrorist incident.

    I'm not saying what happened is not dreadful, but at this stage a drunk driver would come as a relief.

    I also saw something about an incident at the Shard. But that's probably fake news.

    People are being told to leave their homes and are walking the streets in pyjamas. This isn't a regular attack

    Perhaps an ill-considered time to sound a joke when people are possibly lying dead, or almost dead, on London Bridge.

    You cut the number of police and the security budgets then its not possible to watch 23000 suspects. Plus however many returning people who definitely weren't fighting for ISIS in the middle East every week.

    Added to that the alleged amount of people with "mental issues" out to injure people. An impossible job

    I'm surprised the army wasn't on that bridge permanently following the increased security alert recently.

    Hold on, hold on! I know this tune......

    buop bop a lu (terrorists blah de blah), shuop pop a lu (not all muslims), param bam bam (we must not react, that's how they win), shalam dam a lam(bigot, racist, x-o-phobe), dee doh loh a who wop (lets do this again next time)

    BU OP BAM BOOM!!

    Havent read into it. Might be nothing, but its all sorts of wrong to assume that something that has happened countless times, has all the hallmarks of those countless times, and smells like teen spirit.....cant dare to be presumptious, might offend someone trying to kill us. Best to go through the tune again.

    Hopefully it IS nothing.

    I will say it and I don't like to say it but these incidents the way they are presented live on TV and on social media have to a certain extent turned in to a strange sick form of "entertainment" if that's the correct word for the way the coverage is given.

    This isn't foreign policy.

    This is the eschatological ideology of hate; a hatred of our values wedded to theocratic certainty. Sooner we appreciate the cause, the sooner we might be able to afford something that approximates to a solution.

    Until that time, our political leaders are sleepwalking our populations to social and cultural destruction.

    I don't think it makes a difference with these kamikazes, guerilla warfare is hard to defend
