    You actually want me to Sky Plus it, record what they said and upload it for you? You're just looking for a reaction at this stage.

    No. I can't see any verification of the attacker. I've been watching BBC news for the last hour. Have t heard it mentioned

    That's clearly not who he/she is having a dig at. Nice deflection though.

    It was a cheap add on.

    Assume they are linked.

    Most likely they are. But is it the same person or a coordinated group, I think we don't know yet?

    How many incidents are we dealing with here?

    1) Shooting at Westminster Palace
    2) Driver mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge?

    Or are they the same incident?
    Same incident. One guy, drove the car through pedestrians, crashed into the railings, jumped out and ran into westminster, stabbed a police officer and was shot.

    They're not actively looking for any other attackers, the security measures are purely precuationary.

    Sky said earlier that he mowed down the people and proceeded to Parliment crashing the SUV.
    One incident if that is the case.
    Maybe that has changed,

    If this was the 80's it would be assumed to be Irish. What's the point of isle speculation?

    And most likely that assumption would be correct.

    All one and the same AFAIK.

    Attacker went over Westminster Bridge (mowing down people) and carried on to Houses of Parliament and tried to crash through railings/barriers.

    Unbelievable . People dead, others fighting for their lives and God knows what else is going on and yet
    discussion here is just turning into point scoring. Give it a rest!

    Stabbed an UNARMED police officer.

    Everybody seems to be reluctant to commit to the fact that this was an Asian person.

    No such reluctance in commiting to the fact that it was a male. Perhaps this person identifies as female but chooses to look like a male.

    Shame on us for assuming this was a man based on eyewitness accounts. Very un-PC of us.

    We all know who likely did it but it just becomes rabble rabble islam and then the other side is like rabble rabble bigot. Sometimes it's 'nice' to just get info on a situation from a thread without all the dumb bickering over religion and immigration etc etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,492 ✭✭✭✭JCX BXC


    Clearly of Asian/Middle Eastern descent.
    I assume you're still going to tell me its nothing to do with Islam?

    Feck off. You're using a terrorist attack to score points in an argument that's in your head.

    And don't call me mate.

    The Suspect according to Daily Mirror.

    Yup, looks like your run of the mill Swedish/Irish/Chinese terrorist...............................wait

    They will take the time to pixilate faces of security forces because they would be taken to court but not victims.

    I honestly could not agree more.

    It's speculation plain and simple, but I don't see why so many people are clutching straws hoping for dear life it was someone other than a Muslim Extremist.

    I am not hoping for anything but the well being of the victims. Those people are just as hurt no matter the religion involved. I have merely pointed out that we had plenty of this grandstanding about who committed the Quebec terrorist attack.

    Plenty of people seem to want to pin the blame on muslims before the facts come out. I am unsure why they are so desperate to do so. They may be right or they may be wrong. I just prefer to deal with facts. How many people have we had stating or hinting that it was a Muslim so far? I am rather suspicious of their motivations and to why they can't wait till the facts come out to make these statements.

    Probably does. Might not though. We'll wait and see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,922 ✭✭✭snowflaker


    The suspect appears to be middle eastern by Mirror photos. No doubt linked to ISIL. I wonder how many attacks are prevented by MI5 etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,346 ✭✭✭King George VI



    Sure he's clearly native to Leitrim.

    I've read different reports.

    The first is that the incident on the bridge happened, where the person ran after crashing into Westminster and stabbed an officer, he attempted to stab another and was shot 3 times.

    Another report is that a guy in a suit was amonst a bunch of tourists and lef the group with a kitchen knife and attacked the first officer.

    Just seen a picture of what is said to be the perpetrator being loaded into a ambulance being guarded by police I won't speculate but if the picture is him a lot of people are not wrong
