Yes presumably. The non-aggressive face of the tourist friendly perimeter. In today's world, you'd presume that at least one armed officer would have their back at  any given moment.

This kind of attack at this kind of location was highly predictable.

The unarmed police officers at the periphery are always going to be the most vulnerable. And we're talking lone wolf here. Not even a cell. We're just very naive.

You can't protect the public, but give the guys with a target on their back a chance.

Donald`s speaking the supposedly unspeakable in America; now that someone in such a prominent position has shown some cojones, won`t be long before the rest of the West follows the Leader Of The Free World. And thank God for that.

While I`m here, might as well take the opportunity to remind all the lefties that I`m STILL chortling. A lifetime we`ve suffered under your tosh, but your day is done, it`s all over, your baloney has been rumbled for The Emporer`s New Clothes that all right-thinking people have always known it to be.

Missed two minutes of chortling whilst writing this so goota rush, gotta catch up on the chortles, far too precious and enjoyable to let slip away. Priceless, in fact. Again, to all lefties, I thank you most sincerely for such selfless spreading of joy.

^^^Emperor

Should I take the opportunity thrown up by a typo to chortle again? No; that would be most unfair, no need to rub their nos... 

Sorry, can`t keep it up, can`t keep a straight face!  We long-sufferers can`t miss ANY chance to remind the poor darlings of how utterly risible their whole life`s beliefs are, and have been, can we?

CHORTLE, CHORTLE, CHORTLE!!!

.....I wonder if the guy got caught at the bridge, would he only serve about 5 years in jail for causing death by dangerous driving because its not in the 'tax payers interest' to keep him in the slammer.

A loophole for the 'terrorist' that must be closed.

Why have they wheeled out Brendan Cox? To compare this in any way to the killing of Jo Cox is a joke.

If they interviewed relatives or survivors of 7/7 I could understand it.

I don't even believe the weather forecast on the BBC these days.

And plenty more to come - this from the mouth of the leader of one of the new ottoman empire.
His timing about safety on the streets and veiled threat is amazing timing is it not?

'no european can walk safely on any streets in any part of the world'  etc

khan going on about 'we will not be divided'   sikh, chinese, hindu, muslim  all living together except this isn't the case is it

one group definitely wants to be separate - we are already divided - the first three 'asian' groups (if we can call them that) seem not to be divisive in their ways.  But one group is and most of them won't even report any radicalisation to the authorities.

That's because any signs of dissent from any group in Russia and their feet wouldn't touch the floor.

We're seeing a consistent tactic now from the authorities. They know who the killers are but they will just delay and stall naming them until the initial shock and hysteria dies down.
If he was anything other than Muslim, he would be named right away.
