[London attack: How a lone knifeman brought terror to Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-23/london-attack-how-events-unfolded-around-westminster/8379046) (Something I didn't know about FB, a mate working there marked himself 'safe', didn't know you could do such a thing) .. I guess safe is a relative term these days, anywhere on earth
I don't want to diminish what those affected by this is going through but this was fairly minor. The response this event got is blown out of proportion. Mostly I mean social media. My facebook feed was quite annoying as well as what was published on my favourite meme app. That the news focus on this I can accept but the way a lot of people reacted? I mean not even 24 hours earlier US-led coalition jet bombs school and killed at least 33 civilians? Shouldn't that be considered terror? I'm crossing the line of politics here so I'll quit. My little rant is mostly about social medias reaction. For people close or affected this is a horrific event. But overall for UK citizens their potential fear should be way lower than when IRA was active. Sometimes I really dislike our connected world. I need a bubble.

Months (or even weeks) if you're in Europe. Regardless of how we/everyone/the media/governments try to play it all down it does seem to be on the increase. How long will it be before it's one of our friends or family members injured or killed in a future attack (that we're told by our elites that "we have to learn to live with")? What I don't understand is why people who disagree/dislike our way of life don't just move somewhere more amenable rather than staying here, getting angry with everything and then attacking innocent bystanders?
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

You got that wrong, methinks : They are terrorists. They come here on purpose to hit us, because they are not satisfied with the fact the we "interfere" with their lives in Middle-East.

I'm afraid that most "terrorists" were actually born here - many in long-established communities that bear little or no resemblance to the country they're actually in.

Sad! No one is safe anywhere. Knife control, we need knife control!

Cheers. I didn't want to reply to such an ignorant and rude remark.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Well done. :rolleyes:
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It read more like you were criticising Garth's message.
So disagreeing with a sentiment is criticism, now, is it? So now I'm not only a hijacker, but also a critic? Y'know, I only ever insult two people, within CP, and they've bloody well earned it. Maybe others should follow my example, and discuss opinions -- whilst allowing others to have differing opinions -- rather than insult people personally. If no-one is allowed to express opinions that are different from the one of the OP, then CP will become pretty damned dull, pretty damned fast.

Oh here we go again... [^Sending Prayers] .. that's what they need after a crime caused by religion.

Media tells us he is working alone; seven arrests made and six properties raided. Media won't disclose any information about attacker but raids are in Birmingham where there are huge enclaves of Muslim communities. Apologists already out in force to plead that not all Muslims are terrorists. When the media can no longer withhold information that the attacker is a Muslim already known to the police we'll be told they have a mental illness. Then next month the attacks will be coming to a town near you. What a tedious treadmill we all find ourselves on.....

Fanatism should be recognized as such.

Whilst we're at it, let's offer our prayers to all the people in London who got run over by cars, who slipped in the bath and died, who died of some disease or other, who died of old age, who sneezed too hard and killed passersby with their dentures, who took overdoses of drugs and died, who were murdered by people who are criminals, not ter'r'rists, etc, etc, etc. Then let's approve spending another handful of million quid on letting security forces spy on us, purportedly to protect us from the one nutter every few years with a knife, who's labelled as a ter'r'rist.

Of course you're forgetting the foiled attempts. 12 last year in the UK. Which would bring it closer to a nutter a month. with varying degrees of casualties and probably result in more restrictions than you currently put up with. Airports closed for days, enormous queues at any public attraction. Being searched when you enter any public place etc.

Because when I read it it smacked of sarcasm. If I have read more into it than was intended, then i apologise.

A tedious treadmill of gutter press miss-information being passed off as valid comment we find ourselves having to listen to you mean?
No, that's not what I meant but thanks for taking part :)

Yeah, same as the "apologists" who "plead" that not all Christians are paedophiles. :doh:
