[cookster]

There really are some serious cunts knocking about nowadays.

It's a reflection of the world we live in. Driven by hate and selfishness.

Horrible news to be reading on my lunch break.

Thoughts are with the Jewish community who are now sadly seen as an enemy for far too many.

apparently bomb disposal have carried out a controlled explosion..which I was trying to allude to in an earlier post-likely to be the attacker himself..a grim but necessary task.

i think they blew his vehicle open mate?

A time for cool heads. Lets hope they prevail.

I don’t think homosapiens are capable of peace, as a society. Individuals obviously are but, as a collective, there are no examples in our entire history where we’ve had it.

Even in times where Britain hasn’t been at war, we have faught each other in our football tribes in our hundreds. I just think we are genetically warlike as a species. It’s why we’ve got to being the apex species on the planet.

With the ultimate examples being set by certain politicians and world leaders, and would-be world leaders.

The shutters went down at her school. She said the kids were crying because it went dark before they switched class lights on.

These are 5 year olds.

Madness, it really is.

Yes that’s confirmed. They’ll want any possible devices on his body to be defused as it would provide evidence of methods and possibly link him to associates (assuming he did have a credible device).

If only we took the time to understand that Hitler fella, how many lives would have been spared eh.

Fucing hell. 5 minutes away from me.

Yes just read that.

Quite clearly it was bad enough to send out the call for schools and hospitals to lockdown, and not just some PC come out and say it’s ok, he’s dead, crack on with your day.

That might have happened in 1960 (except the police wouldn't have had guns) but not now, correct.

I have a wife and eldest daughter who work at a school while my youngest is a pupil there.really worrying times.
Especially hearing reports that schools are a target.

Where are the reports saying schools are targets? Or anything else for that matter?

People understood him, just not enough of them or in time.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Round the corner from me and I've been there many times over the years.

My paramedic son in law is there treating victims. I'm hearing 4 dead. Hope that's not true. I know many of the members there. A few blues as well.

Glad You are safe and thanks to Your Son in Law, very difficult job!

Hmmm the Germans certainly did once they lost, not so much before like. Plenty over here knew exactly what was required and understanding was right at the bottom of the list.
