[Brother Leon]

Bloody hell. My Fiance's doorstep. I've been around there on Saturday Night's..it's understandably full of people out and about.

[TomC]

truly awful

[Greg!]

Another one :( how awful

[Will.]

Looks like people are being evacuated in the area, lots in their pyjamas walking together in street.

[Wizard.]

It's not been confirmed as a terrorist attack yet... but we all know it's highly likely.

[Brother Leon]

Sky News has the closest footage it seems.

[Babayaro.]

This is getting so out of control now. :(

[Greg!]

Bollards need to be put up in major pedestrian areas imo.

[Will.]

A witness on sky news said around 6 people were stabbed/shot :worry:

[Denver]

They said another attack was coming now im worried where next

[Will.]

A resident live on sky news who is an army officer is saying that is started with significant gun shots that went on for a long time.

[Will.]

They said another attack was coming now im worried where next

This isn't helping.

[Denver]

This isn't helping.

Well there is no point covering up what it is

Newsflash nothing that anyoe says in this thread helps

[Will.]

is this necessary?

It wasnt needed what he said saying another attack is coming.

[Denver]

It wasnt needed what he said saying another attack is coming.
This was the attack that they said was coming for the last 2 weeks

[Strictly Jake]

Oh my goodness not again. Then again I knew something would happen again that's why I don't understand why they took the terrorist threat back down a level, it's so scary. I think the concert tomorrow will be safe but my cousin is going to it as he was at the Ariana concert so he got tickets and he is taking two of my best friends with him I hope they remain safe I'm sure it will be a safe concert then again it's going to marred by this awful attack I can't believe it's happened again those poor poor innocent people

[Will.]

This was the attack that they said was coming for the last 2 weeks

Oh I thought you were saying another is coming after this.

[Glenn.]

Newsflash nothing that anyoe says in this thread helps

This. sadly.

[Firewire]

Shocking

Hope everyone from here is okay as I know a lot of Londoners on here

What a terrible world we live in

[Greg!]

I hope the reports on social media about shootings/stabbings are untrue

[Scarlett.]

Don't believe anything that doesn't come from the Metropolitan Police.

[Denver]

I hope the reports on social media about shootings/stabbings are untrue

It was in the news a man was telling people but nor confirmed

[Will.]

Rylan says police are getting riot gear on.

ITV studios is very close to London Bridge.

[Daniel.]

I hope everyone is ok

Terrible :(

[rusticgal]

Rylan says police are getting riot gear on.

ITV studios is very close to London Bridge.


They are..it's on sky news...

[Will.]

One hotel has been evacuated.

[rusticgal]

[Strictly Jake]

Seems like 5 people were injured still awful but not as bad as the person who said 20 people were run over I'm relieved no-one was killed but suppose all the news hasn't come through yet

[Drew.]

871126671927193601

[lewis111]

Also an incident at Borough Market

[lewis111]

Where there have been reports of shots

[Scarlett.]

What the **** is going on?

[lewis111]

Man interviewed on News said 2 men where stabbing randomly at Borough Market

[Will.]

Stay safe Will..

Oh I don't live near Tower Bridge, I'm north London, about 15 mins from Kings Cross near north circular.

Thank you though! You too! Everyone needs to stay safe in these horrible times. :(

[lewis111]

I don't understand how 2 seemy organised Attacks can happen when security is so high and the terror threat level is sti high

[smudgie]

My heart feels so heavy tonight.:bawling:
These innocent people being attacked yet again.

[Jason.]

I hope the shootings are just reports

So awful :(

[Will.]

Confirmed dealing with second incident at borough market.

[Beso]

2nd incident

[Glenn.]

I don't understand how 2 seemy organised Attacks can happen when security is so high and the terror threat level is sti high

Doesn't take much planning to mount a kerb and mow people down. Nor randomly stab people in the street.

[Dan.]

Unconfirmed reports on BBC News that the police are searching for three suspects.

[Glenn.]

Let's not label these lunatics with having any kind of intelligence to make planned attacks. As awful as they are they are easy targets.

[Babayaro.]

Honestly had such a pang in my heart when I read this. Just so scary :sad:

[Cherie]

I don't understand how 2 seemy organised Attacks can happen when security is so high and the terror threat level is sti high

It's impossible to deter these attacks as (a) the attackers don't care if they die and (b) they are so random, like you could be standing in a bus queue and some mad person goes on the rampage, how do you police that? You literally can't

[Brother Leon]

I hope the reports on social media about shootings/stabbings are untrue

Couple people I know that are around there confirm gunshots. No idea on the knife attack though.

[Lee.]

Jesus! I was just watching the end of BGT when my sister text and said "are you watching the news?" Heart sank immediately:(
It's just horrendous! The scary thing is that there is nothing heightened security can do to stop attacks such as this

You are right Cherie...the Police and Special Forces are monitoring so many..they can't track them all..impossible task. These people are prepared to die and take out anyone and anybody...it's frightening.

[Glenn.]

People won't see it like that if it turns out they are jihadi nutcases that were on a watch list. Highly probable.

I do understand that it's just because there was 2 Attacks it seems that it must have taken some coordination, but it could've literally just been verbal conversations.

The BBC reporter who was there said police arrived in about 2 minutes and ambulances were only a couple more
Shows how great our emergency services can be

This part is horrible when it just feels like a waiting game for more information

[Will.]

Reports saying 3 terrorist are on the run.

[Dan.]

I was just reposting a commendation of the emergency services in this country.

The police, ambulance and fire service are all incredible. The quick turnaround in which they deal with such incidents is incredible.

[lewis111]

Oh God there can't be a third attack surely?
I'm assuming it's the same perpetrators but still this rarely happens, if they are on the run they usually run and hide not continue the Attacks

[Greg!]

Omg they've literally arrested someone live on sky news

An eyewitness told LBC radio what he saw tonight.

The taxi driver said: "A van came from London Bridge itself, went between the traffic light system and rammed it towards the steps. It knocked loads of people down.

"Then three men got out with long blades, 12 inches long and went randomly along Borough High Street stabbing people at random."

I can only guess these people are still at large...no reports of people being apprehended apart from 1 person being arrested which was filmed on Sky News.

Presumably the threat level will go back up to critical tomorrow and stay there.

More pointless loss of lives,whatever is behind it.

I don't believe it would've made that much difference anyway
Police and Intellegnce service are still doing everything they can to prevent attacks like this, and it's not like the terror threat is low so they're more vigilant that usual
But as people have said, regardless of threat level how can you stop someone getting in a vehicle and driving On a pavement

[joeysteele]

They don't decide it's an independent decision

Whoever decides the Home Secretary at least must have input.

Anyway,it may not be terrorism but if it is,that decision should be looked at really seriously.

Reducing the risk still posed a risk of "imminent attack"...made no difference IMO and would not have changed tonight's events...unfortunately.
These attacks are going to continue to happen because they are so random..what more can we do??

So it's been confirmed someone has had their throat slit in the name of allah or is that trash account just assuming?

And that reply is ridiculous when there's no confirmation of who has carried out these attacks

Security services decide it,that's a given.

I'd still be questioning that decision before announcing it.
Right now as it's announced it is a terrorist incident,that decision could need to be looked at.

It's not the govts.fault that these vile people destroy lives in this way at all however.

[joeysteele]

The sad thing is that no level of security can stop vans/cars being driven into people and knife attacks.

Of course that's true.
However if you have alerts set at the highest,re critical,people are possibly more cautious.
Of course while still high,reducing it to severe,sends a signal of some relaxation of the threat.

I think at present critical is where it should be kept at.
Especially after another bridge incident.

You are right however,this kind of attack is hard to stop.
Being more alert has to be more emphasised, it's really worrying.

What truly twisted minded people do this, absolutely crazy it is.
Just more tragic waste as to innocents lives.
It really affects me as I am sure it does everyone else,this unnecessary wasting of lives.

cancer and illness also kills so what is your point?

Just saying they died makes it seem like this is a normal when people were stabbed in the chest with SWORDS

Horrifying seeing the videos of all this unfolding.

It is Jack_, really distressing.
I feel a chill whenever this happens,I have friends and family in London.

Thankfully we have heard from them all.

Cancer and illness also kills. Not really the time to be getting all uppity about terminology that all amounts to the same thing.

Unfortunately yes but cancer is a common illness - you're all normalising terrorism comparing it to cancer and it's wrong.

[Jack_]

They can't exactly ignore it Jack, or sweep it under the carpet.

Ignore what? They took Abbott's comments and lied about what she had said, as well as used the anti-terror legislation stuff to suggest Labour are weak on security, despite the fact May, Davis and others in the cabinet also voted against such legislation.

Conversely, the PM's slashing of police numbers as home secretary despite being warned it would make us less prepared for a Paris style terror attack (quelle surprise), should be brought up at every single opportunity.

Your quote didn't come up until after I had answered.
I had no idea who the quote was on about.

I simply made a statement and within that said it's not Wills fault and then 4 people have literally derailed the thread trying to make a discussion out of it. Moving on...

[Will.]

Riley I'm not replying, you're an absolute embarrassment with some of the comments you have made.

[Wizard.]

:umm2:

Yes comparing Terrorism to cancer is normalising terrorism and that was exactly my point when I said about saying people have died and saying people have been KILLED

[LukeB]

now isn't the time to kick up a fuss over a word like died. get some respect

[Denver]

And now isnt the time for the same group to launch an attack on a member

But just how are we and the Muslims community going to sort this out, this terrorism is an idea, we can't just bomb a country, or arrest anyone and everyone who looks slightly suspicious, we have an enemy in our midst who disguises themselves as a regular English person, til they decide to kill. There's no way we're ever going to be able to properly combat this.

Who do you think is fighting these terrorists on the ground in Syria,Libya,Iraq,Lebanon etc, while we type messages on the internet?

Is Francois Hollande running this country behind the scenes?

Just looking at the BBC News feed, apparently there sounded like a huge explosion on London bridge

[Shaun]

I'd imagine during the end of "events" like this they'll be a little zealous to get rid of anything that looks suspect in the least. Not complaining, of course, but going to be a lot more "controlled explosions" in the news in response to this/other recent events.

I'm not sure what's fully transpired tonight because I've stayed away from social media/this thread because a lot of misinformation and hearsay gets spread and it's exhausting. I'll have a look at the news in the morning. Times are messy, though.

Evil Terrorist Driver in a Van
one of the 2 attacks tonight

[arista]

7 people have reportedly been killed so far

This is tragic

[Mystic Mock]

I do wonder if ISIS was planning on this as their "major" attack all along and only did the Manchester attack to lessen the security budget for London? Thus making it easier to attack London.

[Denver]

They promised to kill in the Month of Ramadan so we need to be more aware until the end of month at least

[Denver]

Hopefully the number of dead is as low as possible

Is it just me who thinks that they need to stop ramming dan? What's he ever done to anyone.

I want to express my sorrow for what's gone on in London today/tonight. I also want to thank all the posters who have been updating with news. You're way ahead of the online news, I appreciate all the information. As for the comments about the Muslims - zealots come in all shapes, sizes and religions.

Out of interest why do you think that Canada so far hasn't had the same homegrown problem with Muslims like we're having in the UK? I'm asking this because it's interesting to get the perspective of an outsider to the country.

[Will.]

Apparently the cordon/tape around the scene is one of the biggest ever the reporters have seen indicating they had explosives.

This is actually disgusting :( ****ing scumbags

I'm not really sure. It could be that we're very open to immigration in the way of taking in the Syrian refugees (most noted in the news) and refugees from anywhere, even crossing the US border, it could be that we're typically known as peace keepers rather than (I'm sorry for the phrase) war mongers. I truly don't know, but I am thankful that thus far, we've been left alone.

6 people confirmed killed and 20+ injured by Scotland Yard in a press release.

I hate to break it but, we can expect more attacks every week now, and there will be more devastating than this one, and the deaths will be as bad as France or worse, I said months ago that there where thousands of isis fighters here in the UK, both British born, and foreign, and they can recruit big numbers into there rank's, and yes they can capture cities anywhere in the world, like the Philippines, but are society in this part of the world are throwing a deny fit because they won't admit that there is some sort of religious war going on in are streets, and you can't deny that there is a future where a civil war will happen here in this part of the world at some point.

The Van they used

Over 30 injured
and 6 confirmed dead.


Some are saying this attack was brought forward
as Isis not doing well in Syria?

And we were dumb enough to let all those people in - talk about having a hand in our own destruction. PC has been our biggest enemy and the worst thing to happen to the West. I wonder what the history books will be saying about it all in the future.

[Beso]

Well done the police though, on scene in 3 mins and all terrorists dead within 8 mins.

[lewis111]

The police dealt with this situation incredibly well, one of the most effective responses we've seen from emergency services in a while

People are being atrested for looking suspicious up and down the country every day...what you need to ask is why suspicious looking asians cant be stopped and searched like young johnny and his hoody.

[Beso]

A video just popped up on my facebook.
It features a young girl who looks about 15 fighting for her life as she lay stabbed on the floor. Her mother pleading and begging for her to hold on.

Im in bits.:bawling:
