They can pick off innocent people whenever they want in a hinder different ways. And you would do what about it instead? There fundamentally isnt a thing we can do to stop people using vehicles as a weapon without entirely separating all pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the UK. We either accept that and 'stand together' whilst hoping the security services successfully identify the sort of crackpots who do that sort of thing before they actually do it or you hide in your house and never leave it. I know which approach I think is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 A guy has been arrested apparently, which is great because he can be brought to justice and questioned on his motive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Patronising from BBC News woman when speaking to eye witness in a state of shock who reported gunfire. People in this situation "often think" they hear gunfire. Was her response from the safety of her studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know which approach I think is better. I don't think his point was about the stand together bit. It's stuff like saying we're stronger than terrorists etc that's unnecessary. Just don't speak about them. It is a brutal way of looking at it but it might spur on some of them. Supposedly a group of people that's done this.

Without meaning to get hysterical and spread shite, am i mental for having a wee bit of apprehension about Scotland vs England next week? Not going to put me off. Security is superb at Hampden. Last week our queue was held up in the pissing rain while we got a full search completed. Which is fine. Celtic fans still managed to get in with flares though. So you will be fine if you are going to the West Stand like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland v England as a high profile major crowd event is clearly a potential target. I am going and taking my 7 year old to his first Scotland game. I would still intend to. Like I said above you cant hide in the house forever. Whether his mother thinks the same remains to be seen though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
