    Not sure what you meant at all. I don't agree with people being opportunistic when people are being harmed to spread hate towards an ethnicity as I have noticed some doing in this thread.

    Oh, right...Right...How original. Just call everyone a racist.

    Terror has reached Europe and attacks like this one has become fully mainstream. We all know who these people are and we know the reason is wreckless immigration policies.

    PS. ISIS-terrorists are not an ethnicity. ;)

    As they are saying this is a very unsophisticated attack compared to Manchester. More than one person is dead. We obviously will need to wait till later to find out how many people have been injured but it appears that there was the incident of the van hitting people on the pavement, three men with knives getting out and trying to stab people ...and then doing a pub crawl trying to stab people. It appears it was them at Borough Market as well. The Vauxhall stabbing was a separate incident by an ordinary criminal.

    Yep, I've already sent in my postal vote for UKIP because it's the ONLY Party pledged to halt mass immigration into Britain..:)

    How original to be one if that is what you are saying you are because it is you who are saying you are. Your reason is completely wrong and indicates a total lack of knowledge on the subject ...so maybe just the racism you mentioned.

    Neither you nor I nor anyone else I noticed mentioned ISIS so clearly ISIS was not who I was speaking about.

    The other incident seems unrelated

    Commiserations to all Londoners and UK citizens - we will await news and hope for as minimal harm as possible to those affected

    As opposed to Trumps tweeting about his bloody travel ban?

    We do not yet know who what or why this has happened

    I do not use Twitter and could not care less what some politician spews out on that anti-intellectual platform and I especially do not give a damn what the president of another country says. :grin:

    Okay, but do not expect it to be any different from what you are initially feeling. :)

    All transit, Tube, Buses and Taxis have been suspended for the evening. Those stuck in London have to find their own way home or stay in hotels. The gov't and police are treating as terrorist attacks.

    You mean the killers in the second rampage weren't muslims??

    It's a very sensible travel ban and should be broadened to include all Muslims. We all know why this happened.

    Photo of two people shot by the police bodies on the ground, one of whom was alive when the picture taken. They have what they are describing as 'cannisters' tied around them (I can't see them). People were reporting seeing these 'cannisters' earlier.

    The shooter yelling 'this is for Allah' should give you a clue.

    I heard the person reporting that. Before he said that I thought from his accent he was a Muslim

    It's sad to hear about this happening, again. It's getting old, because we hear about these attacks so often.

    But NO British or American citizen should ever die or be injured at the hands of a muslim who was allowed into our country.

    Be honest. These attacks would NOT be happening if these people were not allowed into our countries, in the first place. Our politicians do not seem to care about the lives of our own citizens. This is a real problem. Even one Brit lost, is too many.

    I would be in favor of repatriating these people immediately, and never again allowing immigration from Africa and the middle east. Their cultures are vastly different and will never mesh with our own.

    In the USA, Democrat appointed federal judges can be found to declare that we must let in all terrorists and anyone else who wants to come or stay. Their reasoning is someone who has a RELIGIOUS belief calling for the murdering of non-believers must be allowed in because they can not be discriminated against for those religious beliefs.
