London Bridge incident: a van hits pedestrians, says BBC

[Puupi]

2017 is looking to be a bad year for the UK, 3 terror attacks, a really shit election coming up... what else can this year bring? D:

A king!

And brexit in action.

[Zelk]

lol that hilarious, let me guess he's a Nazi too?

He's merely a Tory. Not quite as bad.

[Xandrigity]

When was the last time someone killed in the name of Christianity in the UK?

I was gonna ask the same thing. The crusades? Were they carrying a sword and shield and wearing armor?

[Kalis]

I'm further from far left than you are far right at least!

No, you are far left, I am centre right. I hate both extremes, you are as bad as each other.

[ohiostate124]

Uh oh, people are bringing up Christianity now.

Inb4 the crusades

Edit: too late

noooo, Liz needs to survive the year!

[Zelk]

I'm aware it's all politics. The massive cynic in me would probably call these attacks and the Manchester attack well placed for the coming election.

As much as I hate the Tories the idea of that is disgraceful. They stopped those tactics at least 20 years ago

[Flutterguy]

This is simply the new reality for the UK.

Guy Fawkes tried it, but failed, that was centuries ago. I am sure we must have had some since then, but nothing springs to mind.

At 0025hrs 4/6/17 the incidents at #LondonBridge & #BoroughMarket were declared as terrorist incidents.

The incident at #Vauxhall is a stabbing and is not connect to the incidents at #LondonBridge & #BoroughMarket


Not connected because Vauxhall is relative far away ?

Why are they allowed to cheer the incident on social media? I thought such accounts would be swiftly shutdown?

They are a protected class.

Closing their accounts would be oppression.

No, you are far left, I am centre right. I hate both extremes, you are as bad as each other.

If you think Democratic Socialism is far left then your idea of a political spectrum is fairly warped. Tories aren't Centre right anyway, that's Lib Dem territory nowadays.

This is a direct result of British meddling in the Middle East.

[Zelk]

This is simply the new reality for the UK.

New reality, same as the Old reality. That 20 year respite was nice though.

[Super Friendly Kitty Cat]

This is simply the new reality for the UK.

London is only 40% native British.

Please don't go crusading again, you might get the wrong info by some Venetians and sack the wrong city again.

This is a direct result of British meddling in the Middle East.

I occasionally wonder how Blair and Bush sleep at night.

Vauxhall isn't that far away, but while the area is on lockdown it would be hard to get from london bridge to there. Vauxhall was probably significant because its where the Mi5/6 building is

Oh I'm being ridiculous, but you took it seriously. I guess the Nice attack in France was also due to French meddling in the Middle East as well.

Did that need saying twice because nobody replied to you the first time?

There's still the KKK, which has done... uhh..

What have they done again?
