James Whale reporting an incident outside the LBC studios, reports of gunfire.

Linky? My googlefu is letting me down.
BBC to be fair are usually a bit behind anyway.Strange that the BBC hasn't picked up on it though.
That's a load of rubbish, anyone can use any level of force up to and including lethal to protect themselves or others, as long as it's "reasonable" under the circumstances.
This is exactly the same position as the police are in, with the exception that the police are legally allowed to carry what would normally be classed as offensive weapons to assist as it is recognised that they are expected to face situations where they'll need them to perform their duties on a regular basis.
The only people that others are calling racists are those who lump every muslim in with the terrorists, a lot of the people treating those injured will be Muslim, in other attacks it's been Muslims who have been involved in trying to stop the attackers or running in to help the injured whilst the risk is still high.
Which that picture was taken out of contest by the media once again. She did give an interview saying that she was in shock when she walked by that person on the bridge. Sometimes people don't think straight when they have seen something so utterly shocking.
etween 1970 and 2005, the IRA detonated 19,000 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the Northern Ireland and Britain, an average of one every 17 hours for three and a half decades, arguably making it "the biggest terrorist bombing campaign in history"

It was tongue in cheek, the real difference is 24/7 news and social media ramming the most minute pointless details down our throats endlessly in the aftermath.But... there was a very acceptable anti-Irish sentiment from the late 1800s til the GFA (even then some parts of the UK will always have an opinion, stupidly), "No Coloureds, No Irish, No Dogs".
Just goes to show just how unorganised it all really was. Pink ceramic knives?? Molotov's in the back. Could have been so much worse it seems.

Yeah those Molotov's could've caused chaos if they had a brain
If they had a brain they would still be alive going about a normal persons business
