    Aye lets just follow trends and hope they dont curve up like the last 2 weeks, head in the sand my friend you're part of the problem, proactive response is needed and guns for self defence is what I'd call for now.

    Very sad news from London you'd often wonder if or more than likely when it happens here we will be completely out of our depth.

    Sat trucks take a while to dispatch and set up and on top of that, getting parking permission. To get up on air asap in the immediate aftermath of an event like this all a news network needs is a camera man with a liveU which allows for wireless live streaming straight away.

    Yeah, that's what I said?

    What does it matter if their Irish or not? like their lives are more worthy than an English person.

    I reckon they mean it brings it closer to home, a chance people posting here might be affected or their families.

    Chicago, a city in a country with your ideals when it comes to firearms, had 700 firearm related homicides last year.

    It doesn't work.

    Another incident being reported in the Vauxhall area.

    Unless Burough Market is in Vauxhall?

    We are talking about Muslims who have come to the attention of security services it's attitudes like this that allow these attacks to continue!
    I would also shutdown Mosques that are proven to preach hate speech!
    I wonder how many more attacks will happen before we reach a tipping point where Europe starts to fight back!

    But you sir are a racist according to the self-hating politically correct liberal left. Leftwing politicians and their sympathisers of terror are responsible for all this and they think the slaughter of the innocents is a fine price to pay for multiculturalism and unrestricted immigration.

    This is the future we both in Ireland and across Europe face unless radical changes are made very soon. We are now in 2017 but 2029 is closer than 2005 was.

    That video did no one any favours half of it is made up of clips of films. Seriously there's been enough mayhem in te uk already to have actual footage of actual events in it

    Terror attacks are actually decreasing http://www.datagraver.com/case/people-killed-by-terrorism-per-year-in-western-europe-1970-2015

    More people die in the US due to guns per year than total killed by terrorists

    Maybe in the US. They're increasing in europe, quite evidently

    No country can be prepared for this kind of attack , just be prepared to mop up on a scale that doesn't bear thinking about.

    Yeah cause a load of armed people can stop a deranged manic from veering a car/van/lorry into pedestrians with no notice at all? Guns and a drunken Saturday night in any big city wouldn't be a good mix at all.

    I understand that there is a special Garda unit equipped for this kind of incident, although I don't know their name, their strength, or their numbers. Please God a similar incident won't happen here. London & Manchester are perilously close ...

    A 3rd incident now in Vauxhall according to BBC News/

    Why do they keep attacking Europe? Is the US not more of an enemy and would an attack not be seen as more successful to them in the US (target the US), whats the idea with Europe?

    No head in the sand here. Just don't see how having gun death numbers as vast multiple of anything terror related is helping

    This is starting to sound quite like the Paris attacks, where multiple nightlife events were targeted at once across the city

    We have been weakened by the liberal media and politicians. We are a soft touch and an easy target

    You say that, but don't forget that the Gardaí only recently foiled a possible bomb-making plot by the New IRA with the capture of 6kg of Semtex.

    Aye and their valuable intelligence resources are being taken up minding that bunch of ****.

    Someone being arrested on Sky news dressed in black

    This is mental.

    Christ I hope this ends quickly but looks like at least three incidents now.

    I prefer radio at times like this. Am listening to LBC myself now. It is very worrying.
