Sergeant Wilson Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 32 minutes ago, D.A.F.C said: It always surprises me, thankfully, just how useless/stupid/deluded these terrorists are. If you wanted to make a statement would you not have killed an actual MP or someone connected to the Iraq war or Syria? Mowing down innocent people is doing completely the opposite of what they are trying to achieve. It will be interesting to hear their motives and who is behind it. They are trying to achieve making people believe they are in danger. They hope that people will put pressure on politicians to "crack down" on Muslims, which will further alienate that community and act as a recruitment tool. Leading to more tension and violence. There is no real end game, creating that situation is reason enough for them to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennboy1978 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Its my understanding though that papers normally refuse to buy these pictures. Regardless what a shower of scumbags. They'll want to get their 5 mins of fame when their name is on the video/picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Watching this carnage on TV is depressing. Sorry that should have been posted in the Scotland v Canada thread. Yeah, so I'm a hypocrite. Big surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to contact anyone to arrange it, and don't have to stock up on suspicious supplies that could alert the authorities. Far simpler than trying to bomb somewhere, but the results can be equally horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'd be surprised if anyone without the authority to talk to the press was doing so for more than a soundbite to be honest. I'm a fuckin' dogsbody at a mental health hospital in the North of the city miles away from any likely terrorist activity and we've had it drilled into us that we are, under no circumstances, to talk to the press if any major incidents happen. Would be unlikely a doctor in one of the big inner city hospitals hadn't had the same chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfishtrombone Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I was listening to the PM programme on radio 4 and serial c**t Quentin Letts was being interviewed as he had watched this happen from inside a building. Bizarrely he started his account by saying 'I'm not trying to sound like a hero' or words to that effect and then went on to give an account which would lead absolutely no one to accuse him of being a hero. He did bravely watch it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered that too and concluded that a fair few of these are planned but the planner then bottles it for one reasonor another - possibly because not all of theseason extremists are quite as ready to be dead as they would have you believe.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Is Kay Burley off air yet? I might watch the coverage if she is safely tucked up in bed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades75 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It's easy to see how these attacks can leave an enduring legacy. How do you walk around Westminster, go to work etc...and not wonder if another attack is just around the corner? There will be armed police around for a while now and that type of thing really does make you aware of a threat. However small that threat is, would you take a child anywhere near that area in the near future, you know, just in case? In other news.... A US led air strike on a school in Syria today killed, going by latest reports, 33 people who were using the school as a shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
