    Default Now London suffers its latest terrorist attack

    Details are still unfolding, although this is now already hours old. A terrorist attack, in the Westminster area of London, has occurred ... currently, 4 are confirmed dead (I believe this includes a terrorist).

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...e-Commons.html

    Four people are dead after a terrorist brought carnage to central London today, mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and attacking police with knives in the grounds of the Houses of Parliament.

    At least 10 people were hit on the crowded bridge when a 4x4 drove along the pavement, knocking down pedestrians before crashing into a fence below Big Ben.

    An intruder, described by a witness as 'middle-aged and Asian' and carrying two knives, then managed to break into the grounds of the Parliament and stabbed a police officer before he was shot and injured. The policeman has since died.

    It is currently believed one attacker was involved, killing three people, including a policeman, and leaving at least 10 pedestrians and two other police officers seriously injured.

    Prime Minister Theresa May was bundled into her car by a plain-clothes police officer and driven quickly from the scene as the attack unfolded. She will chair a meeting of the Government's emergency Cobra Committee tonight.

    Scotland Yard said the attack, which comes a year to the day after the terrorist atrocities in Brussels, is being treated 'as a terrorist incident until we know otherwise'.
    All of this is reminiscent of the Paris attacks.

    I don't think I need comment further to any great extent ... it's still an ongoing story, and the facts speak for themselves. That's despite our Metropolitan Police wanting to be somewhat cautious about EVEN concluding it to be a TERRORIST 'INCIDENT', AT ALL ...

    Political correctness has now reached truly insane levels. Hasn't it ?? Where even our police cannot feel 'comfortable' about being forthright enough to publicly recognise terrorism for what it IS, without an attempt at qualification, until they absolutely HAVE to !!! ....

    The attack provided another chance for Little Donnie to make a fool of himself and further damage U.S.-U.K. relations.

    When one of Trump's relatives is as embarrassing as Billy Carter, I'll show some concern.

    So, you just see this as an opportunity to peddle your Leftieism ??

    Tell me this, Gabby ---

    In your eyes, did five people die in London yesterday, and upwards of 40 people suffer injuries (one fatally) ... just so that you could have an excuse to peddle an anti-Trump cheap shot ???

    I think, Gabby, that you've shown us how morally bankrupt the Left's psychology truly is. Also, I'd contend that you're showing us, as the other side of the same coin, why Conservative thinking is so superior and so much more decent. Because, to a Conservative, individual lives MATTER. Decency in society MATTERS. Standing up for law and order, the safety and security of citizens, MATTERS.

    But, what do you do ? You just turn the whole thing into a squalid cheap jibe at someone whose political views you choose to oppose.

    Besides which .. the point made against the London Mayor was a perfectly fair and valid one !! Khan DID say that terror attacks are part of living in a big city !!!

    What kind of mayor insists that people he's mayor OF, must ACCEPT terrorism as a part of their existence ??

    In fact, I can tell you the answer to that one.

    A MUSLIM ONE DOES.

    You actually posted that drivel? Sinking to new lows are (not we just you)? Let's pretend that bear in the middle of the room isn't there and focus on some who gives a sh*t crap. THERE's a plan.

    Drummond, if you were driving in a crowded area and your car suffered a malfunction and blew up, a terror organization would claim you as a "soldier of the Islamic state."

    He lives in one of those places I've "never been too" according to you. Go live in Europe. THEN you can get back to us. Otherwise. you don't know jack sh*t.
