I don't know. Wait until the investigation has been completed before starting to criticise police

From Sky News

Key points:

One person has died after a stabbing attack on London Bridge
Met Police will make a statement at 4pm
Officers are treating the attack as terror-related
The person who died is not the suspect, Sky News understands
Police have shot the alleged attacker and say a man has been detained
There are believed to be five casualties

I've edited a few posts including the video of the incident as it's not appropriate for this forum.

Likewise, a polite request not to be a Dimwit on this thread - any further posts containing conspiracy theories or poo poo about how the left / right wingers out there are dumping all over twitter will be given short shrift and a likely ban.

Message ends.

From the BBC News Website

Two members of the public have been killed, as well as the attacker, Whitehall sources say.

So the attacker was a convicted terrorist released on licence , why ? Once convicted let them rot in jail .

Reports I've seen on twatter are saying that one of the heroes who tackled the attacker was himself a convicted murderer out on day release.

So, that's one thing.

An mi5 spokesman stated that there are over 20,000 known jehadis roaming around and it’s impossible to keep tabs on them all.
Well, why don’t we grow a pair and deport them all , along with the hate preachers who indoctrinate them in the mosques.
I know which way comrade corbyn and his cronies would vote on that issue.

One of the heroes was apparently a Polish chef at Fishmongers hall who grabbed a narwhal tusk off the wall and helped corral the attacker, helped by another guy armed with a fire extinguisher.

Never cease to be amazed at people's bravery and inventiveness in moments like these.
