What politicians be it MPs or mayors have to say is not terribly interesting. What would be interesting but unrealistic is to hear what police and intel have to say without them having a politician on their shoulders telling them what to say. Often some chief of police have a politicised, empty speech, rarely do intel speak out directly and "never" without politics in mind. It makes sense from an investigative point of view but the interesting bits are either wrapped up in thick layers of noise or completely abscent.
It would be interesting to hear precicely what they really think of the laws and popular opinions that make it near impossible to have a successful investigation of suspects who hide behind foreign relations, domestic laws and silence while mapping out who to reach out for to recruit as or encourage to be the next attacker.

It felt good to read that a few people stood up to the POS with the knives, they started throwing glasses, beer bottles, and chairs at them! And felt damned good to read that the security forces shot and killed them so quickly!

Agreed and if anyone visits the relevent area on the BBC website they can read of first hand accounts of said acts, some of which must have taken incredible amounts of bravery to perform.

Many of the acts were taken by foreign nationals which just goes to show London is truly an international city :salute:

When actual, innocent, human lives are at stake, borders have a tendency to disappear and are replaced with basic human decency and the need to help a fellow person in distress...
