Incident at Oxford circus...

I work along Oxford Circus at the London College of Fashion
Was having a slash in the toilet before then hearing loads of screams outside. Was wondering if it was a Christmas/Black Friday thing before then looking out the windows and seeing people running towards Bond Street, into shops and turning off other roads. Then see buses stopping, people jumping off and loads of police. Didn't hear any gunfire and shops started closing up. I can leave if I want, but for my own safety I'm staying inside.

Misquote, and he’s not wrong in what he said.
When Khan actually said "Part and parcel" He wasn't even talking about London, He said it six months earlier about another incident.
Anyone without ulterior motives or Trump levels of intelligence would understand the context of what he said means that;
1. You have to be prepared for these things
2. You’ve got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job
3. We must never accept terrorists being successful
4. We must never accept that terrorists can destroy our life or destroy the way we lead our lives
Are all things you would you do, when living in a modern City
At no point does he say we have to accept them or that that we shouldn't care about it happening.
I suppose if you disagree with what he is saying you are basically supporting the Terrorists, good job.

I was just 2 miles from there 5 years ago. 
If you say that three times you'll summon asim
.BBC radio were reporting that witnesses "maybe heard gunshots or a fire" surely those two things sound very different
. I guess the vast majority of us only have the movies to base gunshot sounds off.

Found no evidence of gun fire everything opening again false alarm by the look of it.

This.
And this.
Gets on my nerves when people put status updates on FB saying "I was there only last week or last month". The same goes with people marking themselves as "safe". Whether the incident involved weapons, or was a bus/lorry crash, or it was a natural disaster, it could have happened anywhere really.
