    Thankfully just two people treated for minor injuries.
    Yerman is one sh1tty terrorist if that is all the damage he did.

    Terrifying what could have materialised if this individual did not fail so badly with what he intended. It is unclear what sort of "ideology" the terrorist is associated with right now (all I have seen is "black man" as a descirption) but whatever it is he deserves to get the full brunt of the law.

    Those Seventh Day Adventists up to no good, as usual.

    Do not worry the usual ISIS defenders will be along to tell us how evil and racist we are and how it was either a false flag or the poor kid was mentally ill.

    Isis Defenders? Who?

    Driving a clapped out Fiesta at those barriers when the MPs are on their jollies would definitely put him in the more especially stupid end of the terrorist scale.

    It'll keep the bigots occupied for a few hours though I guess.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    It was indeed a wee Fiesta, so could well be mental health.
    He was lucky they showed restraint removing him from car.

    Another Islamic terrorist attack in the City of London. No surprise but excuses will be made somehow. It will just be the "imperialists" fault.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 353 ✭✭Creative83


    What houses of parliament?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭soups05


    This is awful, imagine the damage that fiesta could have caused if it got into the building. The time has come for extreme measures. I believe we should gather all of our most valuable citizens from the political arena and sage guard them in some remote island. Somewhere inhospitable so there are no tourists who maybe isis in disguise.

    At the same time we could ship our most hard pressed cases like the lovely young cash lady off to the same island to allow for a better understanding between the two groups.

    c'mon lads, fk the expense, lets keep our elites safe.

    we need a hastag, Save Higher Intelligence Top Politicians Or Stop Terrorism.

    #S.H.I.T.P.O.S.T has a nice ring to it.

    Are we sure its IS? Despite the near zero casulty rate, only one remained in hospital a few hours ago, the precise route the car took towards the barriers, etc etc, I still suspect this was someone off their meds, or a lun of some description. Although I will throw IS Terrorists in the same catagory, as the above two.

    Apparently the guy was from Nottingham and was know to police.

    The scumbag ran through some cyclists who were stopped at traffic lights at the top of the street before driving into the barrier. At least one required medical treatment at the scene.

    Didn't you get the memo? We're not talking about the actual event, instead we're throwing sneaky little barbs at those WHO DO wish to talk about this incident... see, this guy gets it.

    Sure if they didn't have double standards, they'd have none at all.

    Guys like you are more upset about people insulting the terrorists and their dangerous ideology than their actual terrorism acts.
    In fact, Jeremy is that you ???

    Their increasing ineptitude is most definitely a good thing.

    Suppose that's what happens when you use your best troops as explosives.

    I think this is fake news as I was on Kildare Street earlier and there was no sign of anything going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,942 ✭✭✭topper75


    But she caught me on the counter (I was present but not actually involved)
    Saw me bangin' on the sofa (I was present but not actually involved)
    I even had her in the shower (I was present but not actually involved)
    She even caught me on camera (I was present but not actually involved)

    The amount of attacks in 2018 compared to the prior three years has been all but non existant.

    Off the top of my head-

    - one in Paris
    - one in the South of France
    - Toronto shooting the other week
    - a questionable "accident" involving a Moscow taxi driver during the WC
    - the Dundalk stabbing
    - the ex con in Belgium

    It used to be a few per month not long ago. I guess dying for the sake of a failed, finished, broken state is not as gallant as it was a year ago.

    I always found the ISIS admissions to be very staid and straightforward. Always something like "a soldier of the Islamic State heeded the call to attack the unbelievers wherever they find them".

    That's it. No plaudits for bravery, for courage, no street or school in Raqqa renamed in your memory.

    Sure who'd even be arsed.

    Buddhists can cause plenty of violence, they've played a large role in the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya
