'Incident' on Tube - District Line

jpaul · 15 Sep 2017 at 21:33

Well if you saw the C4 news - various solutions proposed
Boris has been speaking to silicon Valley/Mark so we will able to round up anyone with links.
Diane Abbott wants funding for more community policeman back on the streets.
Syad khan complains about reduced funding even though Cressda says it is fine
- found it all contemptuous, plus
One of the witnesses describe how they quickly felt better to be able to take mobile phone coverage.
C4 résumé of recent terrorist events read out like an Arnando Iannucci parody

... is there a credible news resource any more ?

Enough is enough. Time to take a hard stand. Start rounding anyone with any links up and then decide if they are innocent. I don't want any more people being put at risk anymore. We got lucky that's all

"decide if they are innocent"?

Um, ok. It was fun when it was "innocent until proven guilty," but never mind.

Everyone who has shopped at lidl to be rounded up, ask questions later?

Add Aldi to the list aswell.

I was just telling my family a few days everything has gone quiet and everyone has forgotten about the attacks and how it's only going to be a matter of time before the next one then we will get the same vigils over and over again and nothing will change!

He is talking about suppression now, not outlawing, and non-state support in those terms would surely be a suppression.

Which will do nothing to stop the troublemakers and will grossly inconvenience the innocent majority. Awesome plan.

Yep, get used to it and just hope you or your family are not caught in one, on the other hand, keep your eyes open when in vulnerable places, get out of the mentality of "oh it wont happen to me" and try to be prepared for these things.

Nope. Out of the last 12 terror attacks it's only gone up to critical 4 times

Okay buddy

What about everyone who owns a bucket?

Imagine being so inept that not only are you unable to get along in society to an extent that you decide to try to blow some people up, but then also can't even get the bomb to work. The IRA these guys are not.

So glad that the injuries seem to be minor burns and nothing more *fingers crossed*. I travelled past that area on the mainline from Waterloo to Staines this morning on the way to VMwareUK. Closest call I've had with terrorism.

And aye, too much oxygen is always given to these incidents.

That's my usual train to work, happened to be meeting a friend in central for coffee earlier than usual this morning so missed it. It shouldn't, but it obviously affects you a lot more when it is this close to home. The tube journey home I actually really felt quite anxious

As I said, the world isn't ready yet, but eventually believing in magical stories made up hundreds of years ago will be seen as a mental illness rather than religious faith. As a result, there will be fewer people out there willing to kill and discriminate against their fellow humans because of what it says in some old text.

If I said that in 1000 years, Game of Thrones will be seen as a historical record and people believe that there were dragons, wouldn't you agree that this is ridiculous?

personally i think we are going to go into a new deeply religious era shortly, atheism has only resulted in complete moral decay.

Police have announced a bucket amnesty for anyone wanting to hand over an illegally owned bucket.

Does a flexi tub used for gardening count as a bucket?

What would make you feel less anxious? Obviously, nothing will be done to make you safer but it would be interesting to hear from someone directly affected by this.

Don't beat yourself up. Totally normal, I remember being in London directly after 7/7 and I work a stone's throw from London bridge, cycle it daily intact. Being on edge when you know the probabilities feels foolish but you know what it's totally understandable. The ones who spout statistics tend to be those furthest from risk. Having said that, I may not be a resident but I love London, and no chump with an axe to grind is going to force me out.

Honestly not much, I think it'll just pass with time. I usually ride to work aside from Fridays, it'll probably just make me want to ride all week now.

I was on the Circle/H&C line this evening out of Paddington. Didn't really notice any difference in the mood of people, if anything it was all a bit more upbeat.

We could cut public funding to any organisation with a religious objective, stop planning permission for places of collective worship and remove the charitable status of all religious organisations. For a start.

Amateur hour. Stalin failed to stamp out religion in the Soviet Union. And he had the backing of an entire doctrine that was anti-religion. And you think planning permission will help?

And that's just addressing it on the practical likelihood of managing it. I haven't even touched the moral problems with trying to control people's beliefs.

You can't tar all Lidl bags with the same brush. The vast majority of them are just living their lives, assisting the general public in getting their shopping from the Lidl to their fridge. A few crazies can't be an excuse to hate the whole. We are one.

Shoot first, ask questions later remember. Even if you just own a large mug you'll do.

Sports Direct mugs were a trojan horse operation
