If this is what people suspect, this could get ugly.

Three incidents have been reported so far. It's looking like a terror attack but at the moment this has not been confirmed.

Internment- everything old is new. Mayors included. :03:

17 million of one of the finest rifles ever produced with a service record almost a century old, and now the only choice for self defense is being told to run from a bunch of cavemen!

What is interesting in this case is that Daesh has not (as far as I know) claimed responsibility for this. They have only praised and applauded.

I should do that when they are killed. . . Oh wait, I do!!:D
No, I wouldn't stoop to their level, though I may have smiled a few times!!:yep:

It wouldn't surprise me if none of these attacks were planned by ISIS, and they just claim responsibility every time some Islamist decides to murder some people :hmmm:

From a propaganda point of view, it makes sense.

The death toll has risen to seven, with 48 others injured, after the London terror attack in which three suspects were shot dead by police.

All three scum bags have been shot dead by police.

So far no one has claimed responsibility.

Get the flowers and teddybears and candles ready. The Tears Heal the World road show is set to make its next stop in - wait, oh, its London again, its so nice to be home. Everybody will parrot how sad he is, serving his collective duty: you gotta be decent, always polite, always calm. Everybody will cry hot tears on camera. We will all have a really good time of wallowing in emotions and embracing strangers, and when we have finished, we enjoy the good feeling of having accomplished something really important that makes a difference, and we have laid out a strong sign to the world. And best is: the show is all for free and costs us nothing! :up:

Just confronting Islam, the ideology that motivates all this due to its content being what it is, nobody will dare to demand. We prefer to be cuddling lambs, soft and cute. Was like this the last many times in the past 16 years, promises to not change any time soon in the coming years.

Its like christmas mass: the priest in front tells the same old story over and over again, and still you go there and enjoy listening to it. We have learned to listen to the same old political and lobbyist, ideological statements time and again as well. Cannot escape to think we somehow enjoy that as well, maybe?!

So lets get started: I'm first and open the festival by saying it:

"Islam has nothing to do with it!"

Listen to the chorus!

Kinda sad to hear that Skybird, but it's quite true. . . I'll buy a ticket!!:yep:

Theresa May says 'things need to change' and 'enough is enough'.

I thought she got everything into the right perspective and now is her chance to prove she is capable of protecting those she was elected to serve.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-4015...need-to-change

For anyone that might be interested, I'm not sure if this has been made public yet but my sources tell me that the 'Hereford Gun Club' were deployed last night and will automatically be around the 'next time'.

God help us if the alternative became a reality...

It's been reported that 5 Individuals have been arrested in connection with the terrorist events. It seems almost impossible to separate radical Islam from those who want to practice Islam in peace. Even worse, native born and Indigenous people are being radicalized and pose a danger to their fellow citizens.

Law enforcement can't be everywhere to protects it's citizens either. I'm wondering if the time hasn't come for a referendum to be put in front of the citizenry of England to relax restrictions on gun ownership for it's citizens to not only be armed but also be allowed to carry weapons. While the political will is building to address the issue head on, allow people the right and ability to defend themselves and loved ones from attacks.

If you walk into a restaurant in the U.S, there is a good chance than one or more of those there are well armed. Armed people make poor targets. This philosophy may not apply to Europe but it may well be worth exploring. I'm wondering what people not only in England think but also in Germany and the rest of Europe.

I hope Theresa May can implement concrete solutions to protect it's people. Thoughts and prayers to those in England.

London attack: More armed police on duty in Scotland

Quote:

Scotland will see a "substantial" increase in the number of armed police on duty in the immediate aftermath of the London attack, the first minister has said.
But Nicola Sturgeon said there was no intelligence of any specific threat to Scotland.
Pretty much the same response as last time.

Apart from the Glasgow Airport attack there hasn't been anything in Scotland. Like the IRA's bombing campaigns it appears that only England is being targeted. I wonder if the SNP's desire to separate Scotland from the rest of the UK is playing at least some part in the terrorists thinking about what and where they attack?:hmmm:

Fact is, Scotland has relatively few Muslim's in comparison with England. Likewise Wales and Northern Ireland.

Mike.

Theresa May is saying "Enough is Enough", there's “far too much tolerance of extremism” so what is the silly mare going to do then, nuke Birmingham, Bradford or Leeds to equal it out a bit.?
Oh No!, she's going to increase their prison sentences, what! that's it, excuse me you daft pillock but that won't stop these ******* idiots from committing these acts of terrorism will it. :doh:

Here's a radical solution for you Theresa you silly cow, why don't you remove their citizenship if they have any kind of terrorist links and deport the evil bastards back to the country of their ancestors infestation.

^And that goes for the entire bleeding immediate family as well.

Oh no, all you'll do is more hand wringing, more bleeding crocodile tears, more of we'll stand together, its not ******* good enough you stupid prat, get rid of them from this country now or give the people of this country a vote on the death penalty for them, including those terrorists currently in the prison system, that will show the people that you intend to do something positive instead of wringing your bleeding hands again.:up:

Rant Over, for now......
