    You'd think they could do the weather and sport until they have something of any value to repeat 20 times

    No point, everyone by now knows the well-worn and warped record played by the usual suspects, crackle...deport them all... snap, pop...dem Muslims... crrrzt...ban Islam...brrrrrzzzt...dem fordeigners.... And so on and so forth.
    And it's always the same answers. No you can't deport all those brown people that annoy you so much, no you can't ban a religion, because apart from being pointless and stupid it's also impossible.

    Reuters saying that witnesses said they saw people who appeared to have their throats cut.

    Why do those who disagree with a point of view, or who seek to pervert a rational response, resort to the colour of people's skin - even when nobody gives any due consideration to said factor.

    I have heard 3 eyewitness accounts on LBC radio so far giving similar accounts of men running around stabbing ppl with large blades.

    I've done the only thing that makes any sense right now - switched off the telly.

    In the morning someone will actually tell us with clarity what happened at about 10.30

    Devastating. I don't know what to say. I had a day in town planned tomorrow with herself and we're still going in. These bastards will never win. I'm going to bed and hoping beyond hope that as many victims as possible pull through and recover. Awful.

    Like it or not, there has been a trend in attacks over the past few years. I'd bet a weeks wages that the attackers fit the trending profile.

    They seem to be stepping up the frequency of these attacks and the following will probably play out
    1)it will be British born Muslim who will have carried out the attack.
    2) He will have been on a watch list at some stage
    3) Radicalised in Local Mosque or from travelling to Syria or some other Muslim country

    Time to round up anyone on these watch lists and just lock them up!

    During Ramadam Muslims fast from dawn to Dusk, as Ramadan runs parallel to the Summer Equinox where we receive over 18 hours of daylight it makes for a very long fast. Meanwhile Muslims in Antarctica enjoy a very short fast due to the almost permanent night there.

    http://muslimmatters.org/2015/07/03/mental-illness-and-ramadan/

    Fasting leads to fatigue, mental impairment and other side effects.

    This was caused thus by Mental illness. Nothing to see here only Mental Illiness.

    This is crazy. Hopefully no deaths. What can be done to stop ISIS now

    From the BBC

    BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time of the incident, said the van was driven by a man and was "probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour".
    "He swerved right round me and then hit about five or six people. He hit about two people in front of me and then three behind," Ms Jones told the BBC News Channel.
    Five or six people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.
    "I'd say there are about four severely injured people. They all have paramedics assisting them at the moment."

    No word of Gunfire and Stabbings from reporter on the ground.

    Fingers crossed there aren't any dead or seriously injured, I hope the UK increases national security even if its unlikely there will be another attack I don't think they can take risks right now considering how close the last two attacks have been to each other!

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

    I dunno.

    But I know a man who does.

    I'm sorry but you do not and cannot negotiate with the likes of IS. Big Mo has been swinging his sword for 1400 years now and his most ardent followers are not going to listen.

    Actually negotiations are not a possibility in this instance, you need to understand the difference between them and other terror groups to understand why. In a nutshell, they're not interested in negotiating.

    Not at all. There are some interesting accounts of Muslim parents and elders observing the point when the younger generations became more puritanical and fanatical, it is connected to the kind of preaching that goes on in wahhabist funded mosques.

    Much like ourselves.

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

    Wait until they have Corbyn. :(

    Guy on Sky News wasn't being interviewed as far as I can tell but he seemed to be describing automatic gunfire with his arm signals to the camera...or maybe I misread what he was doing???

    4 - Change Profile picture
    5 - Claim that Muslims are the real victims in all of this

    Indeed, mass internment has always shown very positive results in the past.

    Irish people who think internment is the solution never cease to amaze me given what happened here in the 70s.

    You say "cant", I'd say "not yet".

    So for all your criticism and high-horsing, whats your idea then?

    Whats your proposal, even simplistically?

    Because as it stands, youre suggesting a big, fat, whopping ZILCH. Or in other words, let it all keep happening?

    My fave bit was sky news quoting their "eye witness" that openly said he couldn't see London bridge/the incident from where he was.

    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.

    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.

    There's a whole host of reasons that Sunni Islamic terrorism has increased significantly since the 1990s but the biggest factor by far is entirely to do with the Wahabism funded and promoted across the entire globe by Saudi Arabia since the late 1970s. Until the House of Saud is overthrown nothing will get better.

    In the interim we should be treating Saudi like North Korea or apartheid South Africa.

    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 those Nigerian scumbags off bombing the world sure, poor old Boko Haram only kidnapped all those innocent girls too to teach them the errors of their ways

    In fact the ISIS militants​ in the Philippines were only putting manners on the locals for knocking out cheap football jerseys
