A shocking event .. In some ways it was good it was poorly planned.. Would have been a lot worse on that bridge in rush hour..
And there it is.... BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking #Westminster attack latest: • 5 dead, including attacker • Attacker known to police • At least 40 injured
I rarely, if ever, have anything good to say of any politician from the right / conservative parties but well done Tobias Ellwood .
I will turn my lights off tonight, at midnight, to pay tribute to the victims of the London attack. #EiffelTower https://twitter.com/LaTourEiffel/st...ondoners-send-out-message-after-terror-attack
Some of the locals here are politically right wing, but we agree to disagree and get along just fine.
Righty tighty, lefty loosey... Our head office is just off Victoria street and went to lockdown for a couple of hours during and just after the incident, people were allowed out the back entrance at 6ish. I took this picture a couple of weeks ago, new Scotland Yard on the immediate left, Westminster in the distance....that part of London goes very quiet at 7ish on a weekday. Christ knows what would have happened in rush hour
One would hope that in the event of an act of terrorism, party politics would be put to one side in the interest of being a good human in our so called civilised society. I'm sure many of the first responders have different politics but their training and desire to help others make it a rather irrelevant issue. I'd never heard of the Citizen Aid app before today.. http://citizenaid.org http://citizenaid.org/features/download-citizenaid-app/ Anyone got it?
As a first responder myself we don't give a monkeys bum what a patients politics, religion or skin colour is when we go to them.
Never heard of it but it looks interesting. Free download so nothing to lose by getting it. Which is what I'm about to do.....
It's a good app if you're not a first aider, or maybe your first aid training has lapsed. Only thing was, when I opened the app.... Then I couldn't close it to get back to my home screen. Had to switch phone off then on again.
And to think that yesterday, Afghan forces retreated from Sangin, leaving it back under the control of the Taliban. A quarter of the UK causalities there were suffered defending Sangin and the Helmand province. So the futility of intervening in these ****holes, that has resulted in the rise of homeland extremism that we saw again yesterday, is there to be seen - but I bet it gets swept under the carpet.
And you never will because they are lunatics ...and all lunatics have a huge capacity for making a mess
