"I am shocked that Jeremy Corbyn, just in 2011, boasted that he had opposed every piece of anti-terror legislation in his 30 years in office." (Amber Rudd, 2017)

“And I made sure we kept the records of criminals and terrorists on the DNA database whereas Diane Abbott actually wants to wipe them clean. I don’t think that’s a good idea. “ (Theresa May, 2017)

What sick person uses it to gain votes for their party?

We know that this attack was not thought out so would been hard to stop

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

Putting the terror threat up would not stop this attack, if terrorist target rural communities no matter what level we are at will make no difference .

They did not suggest the opposite party was killing people like labour supporters

This is not for your allah you vile scum we all share the same God no matter what religion you belong to you do it for the sick voices in your head you deranged trash I hope you burn in hell with all the jihadis and nazis the worst people in global history!

Police have confirmed that Vauxhall is an unrelated stabbing

No, but they did use it to imply the opposition would be weak on terrorism, just as I predicted they would

****ing monsters. My dad had his friends over and they broke their fast together tonight and prayed after all while this was going on. That's what you are meant to do "for Allah".

The SAS have been deployed which means terrorists are at large

To be fair, it was no lie.
It was a debate, we need to know all information to make an informed vote.
Stuff is said against both sides.:shrug:

And so many do Brother Leon, it is only the terrorists with the hate in their hearts that are guilty, not everybody of the same faith.

7 people have reportedly been killed so far

Reports 7 have died so far.

Absolutely tragic. :sad:

I use the word killed because they have been MURDERED people die of cancer and illness but this is murder. Not your fault but it annoys me when people said they just "died"

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.

The first quote out of context deliberately misconstrues any reasoning behind voting against anti-terror legislation (which, as he pointed out on the night, May and several other ministers also did).

The second was in fact a completely outrageous lie, taken straight from Lynton Crosby's book of gutter politics:

The Tories used Manchester to peddle this narrative, and they'll be using this too.

It is murder,pure and simple,I agree.

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

Horrifying seeing the videos of all this unfolding.

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

Edit. Just seen the actual tweet now.

cancer and illness also kills so what is your point?

These reports are really frightening, people walking into pubs with their throats cut.
Witnesses now saying that police have shot two suspects at Borough market, but not sure it has been confirmed.
