London Bridge and Borough Market attack

[Pratters]

Bastards.

 

[Burgey]

Grim

Just had one of our senators, Sam Dastyari on the tv here. He was over there and having dinner about 20 metres from the bridge attack. He sounded pretty shook up, understandably

 

[Pratters]

My class mate is right there . ****.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not again. FFS

 

[Burgey]

Hate all this stuff. Had some of the best times of my life in London. It's no more or less horrific than other attacks, but when it's in a place you know well and have such good memories of, it seems to hit that bit harder.

 

[Gnske]

Think I'll avoid the bridges while I'm in London.

Yeah, that's exactly it.

 

[harsh.ag]

What happened?

 

[fredfertang]

Sounds grim - van ploughs into people on London Bridge followed by three jumping out with knives - separate incidents in Borough Market and Vauxhall

 

[Pratters]

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Horrific. Just knifing people

 

[_Ed_]

Vauxhall an unrelated stabbing incident, apparently. But the other two are confirmed as terrorism.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah was just chatting to a mate who lives in London a few hours ago. Mid conversation he suddenly exclaims that a van has driven into a bunch of people and there are sirens everywhere

 

[Red Hill]

Terrorism is the most pissweak of acts. Absolute cowards.

 

[morgieb]

This world is ****ed.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope all the CWers in London are fine

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Awful news. London is such a great city too

 

[social]

Flying to London on Wednesday

Hope everyone is safe

**** those ****s

 

[hendrix]

All 3 perpetrators were shot dead within 8 minutes of starting the attack by police from an armed response vehicle.

That's a very quick response time.

****ing hell, not news I wanted to wake up to this morning.... they are going to have to start installing bollards everywhere in major city centres.
