Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Without sounding crass, this type of event was inevitable.

I hope that those involved (other than the driver who it seems is dead) are not seriously injured.

It's ok. I suspect that my social campaigning and charity work more than makes up for my ability to make a sarcastic comment about the news on a sex site. Especially since my partner missed the scene of the attack by about 15 seconds.

Yes. And it's awful. Any murder is a waste of life.

But... this is the forums of a sex site. And a little sarcasm isn't exactly the end of the world, nor equal to a murder.

How is a made up assumed emotional response from someone 400 miles away relevant?

The fact that the Scottish parliament has suspended work is a moderately relevant aside, but the shit about Ms Sturgeon was only there to make a glib point.

If I were to make up an assumption on her reaction, having met the woman, I would suggest that she would be more concerned about what was going on.

No-one is spreading fear or over reacting. We should go about our lives. Acting as though it was a minor incident minimises the loss. It is a major incident. If you want to go about your normal life, you can do, being in here isn't doing that.

Aye. The various witness reports seem to corroborate that the shots were all fired by the police.

There was some confusion earlier on as to whether the sound of a vehicle crashing was a gun shot or not but that seems to be known now.

Still despite not having a gun the assailant seems to have managed to badly injure a police officer before the assailant was shot by the police.

That is sad and these officers deserve credit.

You make a valid point. But you make it in response to the comment at the top of this thread that really wasn't spreading fear or a calamitous overreaction, and to a poster that has been posting through both threads on this subject in a measured and calming way. So perhaps all is okay.

"Just come up 2 dead now.sad times we live in

Its tragic that people have to die because of some idiot with a gun

I cant decide what is more upsetting, that 2 people just going about thier day are now dead, or that their deaths pointless

The only guns involved were held and used by the police.

The only known assilant appeared to have a knife.

And a car which was used to drive into pedestrians."

Yep, it's not been made known if the driver of the vehicle is the same person who had the knife.

"Interesting to see London Air Ambulance on-scene in 6 minutes, helping the injured, in the middle of a major armed terrorist incident.

A charitable organisation.

Firstly, yes, they are a top bunch.

Secondly, let's not overblow this. A chap with a knife. "Major armed terrorist incident" may be technically correct but is making it sound an awful lot worse than it actually is.

We need less fear and hyperbole. Not more.

Suspect the families & loved ones of the deceased, injured & traumatised victims of this terrorist incident may consider it to be as worse as it gets.

Fine. But we don't need to join their number.

There are enough people affected by this. Let's not make it worse by overreacting.

I dont think showing compassion & discussing an unfolding awful event is overreacting.

Few people would argue with that last bit.

Many more would argue that overreacting and spreading fear equates to showing compassion and discussing an ongoing event.

By thread -- I mean this specific comment's top. (Just to clarify)

I've had good news my fwb is safe just waiting to be evacuated by the police .

Everyone posting bad crass comments in here should be bloody well ashamed of themselves .

Because there are going to be families getting phones calls the likes of which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

"We all make light comments re tradegy it's called being British we survived two world wars being bombed by the IRA it's the way we cope "

Comedy will always be tragedy plus timing.

From Gilbert Godfried's 9/11 gag at Hugh Hefner's Friars Club Roast to "Is There Any News of The Iceberg?", you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this site (or this planet) that's never laughed at a joke that came from something that caused someone else a great deal of pain at the time.

Un-fucking believable

good news though

A female has been pulled out of the river Thames alive, the amount of pollution in that river would be life threatening to anyone

Thames Water has been fined a record £20m after pumping nearly 1.5 billion litres of untreated sewage into the River Thames.

Agreed. I noticed in particular about London Air Ambulance, which is a charity. Not to minimise what the other services did of course.

"Apparently my partner has been locked in the office in Westminster.

This is awful. I won't be getting sushi brought back from London at a reasonable time for dinner.

Woe.

If you don't mind me saying, that is a pretty crass comment. It would seem some people may have lost their lives this afternoon. "

I'm actually more shocked by the 'who' made the crass comment

The Thames is very clean now, very few industrial businesses left along the Thames to polute it... All now luxury apartments..

As for thames water, the sewage was from much further down stream..

However it's great to hear she is fine, I had heard on a report that a person was spotted in the water after the event.

I'm a firm believer in every bad thing having a silver lining, and so here I go, I hope people can see the bigger picture.

Today a number of people were killed in an attack in London, whilst it's terrible that people died, shouldn't we be grateful the number was so low considering the location, a very busy tourist location in the heart of London.

Today a terrorist attack took place in London. Haven't we been told that it's imminent for a very long time. Now it's happened hopefully some of the nervous tension will relax a little. The response times of the emergency services were incredible, proof that their training and diligence since 2007 had worked. They will never be able to prevent these things from happening, it's just impossible, but today they showed what they are made of, great things.

Terrible things happen people, and they affect us all in so many ways, but no matter what they are, you should always try and find the silver lining.

If you're a Londoner and you're reading this, the silver lining is that today wasn't your day to die, be grateful and go and do something great this evening in memory of those that can't as a result of today's events. If your not a Londoner and don't know anyone affected by today, be grateful that that is your life, go and have a drink, have a wank, a smoke, shoot up, I don't care, just be grateful to be alive.

You never know when your number might be up, so don't waste your time with negativity. Be grateful to be alive and live your life.

I wholeheartedly agree, but it just feels a little bit too soon for the "stiff upper lip" pep talks.

People have died. Many have suffered catasrophic injuries according to reports.

It just feels too soon to wipe that sense of loss and shock away.

It sounds inflammatory and pointlessly reactionary without knowing any detail of who is responsible. Perhaps more inane than naive, IMO.

Stiff upper lip, sweeping emotion to the side, I don't believe anything I said meets those criteria.

I was merely reminding people to be grateful to be alive and that they should do something positive with their evening to counter the terrible events of today.

Feeling angry is a valid response. Be in or out of your box, you're free to do that and free to say what you did. Your "take these fuckers out" remark is an issue though....who? And as a serving member of the armed forces "when are we going to take them out?". Really? Not inflammatory and without any substance when you have no knowledge of the actuality of who is culpable?
