i would have said it was a terrorist attack if it was a terrorist attack
if i wasnt sure i would wait before announcing it was or it wasnt if it wasnt a terrorist attack i would say it wasnt a terrorist attack cant think why anybody else would be much different |

I'd have steamed in but I'm a nutter and very expendable (wife agrees..)
donny: but it wasnt the police doing the crimes, and they have begun to capture the culprits How very decent of them. Only took them 10+ years! |

The usual apologists on spouting their usual holier then thou stuff.
So tell me this what were your thoughts when the driver was pinned down and hand-cuffed? Is that usual RTA procedure? Not surprising peep came the conclusion that it was terrorist related. Tis one of their cowardly methods isn't it. |
|
By:
I'll tell you my thoughts Akabula
As soon as I saw the Toyota badge I KNEW it was fceking UBER! I also knew the usual suspects would be on here condemning musso terrorists! I have more fear of Uber drivers than musso terrorists. I have a fear I might kill one ( metaphorically! ) |
|
By:
I don't blame people for jumping to that conclusion.
Had all the hallmarks of a cowardly terrorist attack. Watching it on tv some things didn't add up though so I was in two minds. |
|
By:
aka - thoughts were, let's not jump to conclusions. Natural that people will be on the cautious side and get out of there, and natural to pin the driver down, just in case. We live in crazy times where we have both ISIS and Farage/Hopkins/Robinson doing a very good job and making people feel paranoid. There's not a great deal we can do about the former but the latter 3 have a responsibility to report issues properly and not just to further their own agendas as media personalities so they get more foreign tv gigs and sell more books. But still they have their fans. Really weird. To copy something I've just seen: I don't get their idea of patriotism, they just go on foreign telly telling everyone that London and the UK is sh!t. Thanks for that.

|
By:
Not sure why you've mentioned Farage but Hopkins and Robinson are entitled to their opinions like everyone else.
BTW thanks to social media gone are the days when people awaited on the full facts before commenting. Speculation in itself is no bad thing though. Anyways I doubt pinning drivers down at RTAs will ever be the norm. Neither will hand-cuffing them. As I keep saying not surprised peep thought it a terrorist attack. |
|
By:
I think those three are massively relevant. Minutes after the crash, Farage was on foreign tv saying there are millions of terrorists here, Hopkins obviously had twitter diarrohea before shoving it all back up and deleting them, while Robinson dragged himself away from his latest attempt at a march to tweet about the "terrorist incident". We know their game and I've said it dozens of times before. They want to inflame tensions. They jump on any potential incident and instead of waiting to get confirmation one way or the other, they jump in assume the worst. Social media is fast becoming a real problem in this. With free speech comes responsibility and the likes of facebook and twitter are giving people the possibility to speak freely but are turning a blind eye to what they're saying.

By:
There was one clue we all missed. Fairly early reports mentioned in passing the driver had not been arrested, so clearly the police had their doubts from the start.
|
|
By:
Absolutely,
The driver was detained, not arrested or shot! I don't blame the people on the spot for pinning him down! I have not read too much about it but if he was running from the scene even more reason. Could have been two reasons for running...either he was not insured or an illegal or he was an inept terrorist! Thats 3 reasons! I lose the argument! |
|
By:
You got a link to Farage saying that PP.
Correct if talking about Europe btw. Hopkins and Robinson just frustrated at the constant covering-up/playing down in the mainstream media. |

wd my guess is that he was attempting to do a runner because he isnt the person entitled to work the phone and car involved in the accident. sadly this is an all too common occurrence in the london phv industry.

Yes ,will you be Contacting the Met Police to ask them why a Square mile was shut down and Hundreds of people were running for their Lives , bars and Restaurants Evacuated ,If they don't explain it to you there are many on here who will ... I think people Must be walking round in a Dream world , Or perhaps it a case of Post Brexit Depression many are suffering with ![]() ![]() Poor old Luvvies and Lefties they will never get over the Fact that more than 50 % of the country lives in the real world . |

Just minutes after the crash, the Brexiteer gave an interview to Fox News claiming that officers were “clearly not only treating this as a terrorist incident but it looks to me like they expect there could be more”.
He later posted a clip of the interview on social media with the caption: “We have 3,000 terrorists living in the UK and 23,000 people known to security services who could do us harm.” That's been lifted directly from the article that you supplied the link to PP. What part of that is false? In the first paragraph he says what most people were thinking given the police actions. As regards the second paragraph he's quoting stats that appeared in the media and represented the views of various security chiefs. |

That's from one of your earlier posts PP. 3000 isn't millions. |
|
By:
BTW he at no time said it was a terrorist attack.

that's interesting , tells you something about the leftists and anti British types right there.

Porcupine talking his usual nonsense about Farage it seems.
"have a responsibility to report issues properly and not just to further their own agendas" if someone was choosing to describe Porcupines actions they wouldn't have to go much further than his own quotes to do so. |

By:
Yep, on a thread about a car crash titled "another terrorist attack..." and where Farage broke the land speed record to talk down London to Fox News, where Robinson broke off from his walk to re-tweet reports of it being terrorism and Hopkins moaned about the BBC not calling it terrorism, it's really me and the other normals who need to look at ourselves and how we report these things.
Shrewd dude. Ha! |
|
By:
Well it's like this , if there were no terrorist attacks you might have a point, but as there are I see no bad thing in assuming at first glance that this was a terrorist attack .
What's wrong with that ? |
|
By:
I notice pineapple hasn't apologised for his error, typical of the leftists .

By:
What error lfc?

Well at a glance ' millions of terrorists '

At a glance comparing Farage, Hopkins, Robinson to ISIS
I think you should apologise for that right there. |
|
By:
Have you listened to his interview with Fox? And I completely stand by my comparison. I've gone on record before and I've not heard anything since to change my mind: I wouldn't be at all surprised if it came out later that people responsible with funding terrorists are also providing money to the likes of Robinson and Hopkins. The aim is the same; disharmony, hatred, fear. We already know about the links between Farage and Russian money and influence that's been used so well lately. Whether it's the same source, I'm not so sure.
