    Sky News presenter asking eye witness if he thinks it could have been an accident.....no words

    Yes it does seem ludicrous, but Sky News have been accused of sensationalizing news stories, but when they take a cautious approach ppl complain about that as well.

    Would Police have used the mass text alert they have in place to text all phones in a particular cell tower area, if not why not?

    You don't signal a manoeuvre!

    It's sad to see how these threads always turn into point scoring opportunities for different sides of an argument but It's not suprising anymore. People have died tonight at the hands of some sadistic evil people and my thoughts are with them and their families and also the people that witnessed it or ran for their lives in fear of being the next victim.

    Is the attack ongoing, or is it under control,

    looks stable for now which is a positive, however details yet to emerge, i think theres very tight police control on this one.

    We are witnessing the lockdown of modern society as we know it.if you think going through airport security is a pain in the ass wait and see what is coming down the line.security checks will be rampant and frequent.the worst is yet to come.

    Ha, another Provo crawls out of the woodwork, well come on then and condemn the London attacks, go on, I dare you. Oh, and by the way, I just did condemn Loyalist mobs, look again in the ex-shiner thread.

    Time and place for point scoring, lads.

    Hope they catch the ***** that did this and put a bullet in their head.

    'Potential act of terrorism' - Theresa May
    Prime Minister Theresa May has said the "terrible incident" in London is being treated as a "potential act of terrorism".
    She will chair the government's emergency committee COBRA on Sunday morning.

    BBC News aired that video a while ago, then apologised for the language in it... I assume that as it's breaking, nobody had time to screen it first to bleep out any swearing.

    Could all 3 sites be as a result of the same 3 people in the van and them fleeing the original scene?

    Sky aired it. Then went to re-air it, apologised for having played it the first time with bad language at the end...and played it in full again, including the cursing. :pac:

    It is a looped conversation, in other words he interviewed the guy two hours ago, they just replay the interview every half hour for people who are only just hearing about the news.

    I am on edge. Am going to London with the OH next Thursday but could have been this weekend only for the fact Wexford were potentially playing Dublin.

    Who knows whether I would have been caught up in it but it makes you think.

    And worry

    I think it's just two sites now, the Vauxhall incident doesn't seem to have been real.

    "Potential" is the new "we all know what this is, but's let's be PC and not call it, eh, good lads".

    "British born"

    The Manchester bomber was born to Libyan refugee parents who were too hard line in their religious beliefs for Gadaffi. His parents shouldn't have been allowed enter in the first place. Islamic terrorism is a wholly imported problem.
