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

    There's plenty of bridges over the Thames, why have the army at this one rather than the others? I doubt terrorists care about a nursery rhyme.

    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.

    I said it before, the news channels love this stuff.

    Foreign policy dictates all. If we weren't bombing the f*ck out of them, they wouldn't feel the need to retaliate.

    I see from your username you're either a troll, or an idiot, so I'll leave it there.

    Yeah but it's still important that these kinds of incidents are reported in the media asap to alert ppl to the danger in the area.

    I understand. But how can we not react and look for the latest info.
    I think entertainment is not correct word though, it's human nature to want to feel informed.

    Steady Trapper, those are the UK's values not the Irish.

    I do not support their foreign policy or agree with who there selling arms to.

    Is ad hominem really your argument of choice?

    Why, then, do you disagree with ISIS - who openly declared only last year that, even if there were no Western intervention in the Middle East, they would continue to exist and seek to destroy our way of life.

    Foreign policy is a 100% to blame, as hard as it is to accept, the only way to end conflict, is negotiations. How, I have no idea

    Could a big white van that is hollow as they are create loud bangs through impact of hitting people. Maybe people heard the impact and assumed it was rapid gunfire when indeed it was a van hitting people.

    Nunce especulatum.

    It could just be firecrackers..

    erm. Yeah. Or a drunk. Or a madman.

    Or another pack of Muslims triggered by someone not wearing the right clothes. Or listening to music. Or an office worker on their way home who "bombed our people.." Or just following the dogma. "Convert or die".

    We all die. I'll take my chances. Converting sounds dull.

    Muslims have been living in Britain for decades. Bit of a coincidence these attacks are only happening after the increase in British intervention/wars in the middle east.

    Britain is becoming some mess at the moment. Time for strong leadership. Unfortunately they have theresa may and are crippled by political correctness.
    Much like ourselves.

    They know who most of these gimps are, they should go round them up.

    Sky are pretty much just broadcasting everything and anything right now to fill airtime. It's like some sort of reality TV show, I guess this is the problem with 24 hour news, they are unable to wait until they have substantiated facts.

    I truly wish that that's all it is about because then it could be resolved. But I'm afraid it's clearly more complex than that.

    How do you negotiate with people who wish to create a caliphate and want to kill unbelievers?
