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

There are also reports of other incidents in London, one in Vauxhall with the other in Borough Market.

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

KEY POINTS:
:: There are believed to be "multiple victims" after reports of gunfire and stabbings at three separate areas.
:: One witness said there was "tremendous gunfire" in the London Bridge area about 10 minutes before the emergency services arrived in large numbers
:: Footage show people fleeing from the scene after police tell people in the street and in bars to clear the area
:: Police have now responded to reports of stabbings in Borough Market, armed officers have responded and shots have been fire.
:: Police are also responding to an incident in Vauxhall in south London.

Internment- everything old is new. Mayors included.

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.

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

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!

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!
