London Bridge closed
The UK’s Sun is reporting that London Bridge has been closed because a van plowed into a large crowd;
Armed police are at the scene while people have been seen fleeing the central London landmark near Borough Market.
Eye witnesses confirm that several people are lying on the ground and are receiving CPR after being stabbed.
There are have also been reports of gun shots being fired.
A Sun journalist at the scene tweeted that he saw one man being led away by police in cuffs.
The Guardian says that police are releasing no details.
BBC calls it a “major incident” and confirms that a van mowed down pedestrians
BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time of the incident, said the van was driven by a man and was “probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour”.
About five people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.
From Fox News;
As many as three different incidents, one described as terror-related, were unfolding in London late Saturday, including a van crashing into a crowd at London Bridge and a series of stabbings reported at nearby Borough Market.
Police also urged people to stay away from the Vauxhall area — more than a mile away — as they looked into another “incident,” without elaborating. Gunfire erupted at the bridge, though witnesses said it could have come from police.

Let’s not jump to conclusions.
Aaaaaaaand… it’s Islam.
MAYBE NOT YET, how do we know it wasn’t a Jehovah’s Witness gone wild?
It was them damn Lutherans…
I never did trust them…
Them Lutherans are wannabe Roman Catholics.
Catholic light.
It’s Mormon’s everybody knows this is there signature handy work
Damn straight, Skippy. ARISE, ALL YE DANNITES.
Jedi.
its -got- to be Jedi. They just can’t keep their force-paws out of that Darkside stuff. Next thing you know they get all yellow-eyed and finger-zappy and Whazzz! Head-chop-offy.
Uh…the names sounded Irish, or German…I think
Doubt seriously that it’s simply a drunk driver. Shots fired? In England??? And people stabbed?
Last time I went to England, it was a peaceful and quiet place where people were polite and didn’t go nuts with cars.
What is this world coming to?
An end! that’s what the world is coming to!
One of my friends told me that the shooting was a separate incident. It was another weekend night in London.
The shooting and stabbings were another thing. They hit one area with their knives and then ran down people on the bridge. They got out and began knifing people there and at several bars.
Three were shot by police and two others are being sought.
That’s it, I’ve had it, I demand we get universal background checks to purchase vehicles and limit the number of cylinders to two. Vehicles Kill!!!
Is a two-cylinder homicide vehicle a “murder-cycle”?
Darn Amish!
Northeastern Lithuanian Amish… dudes roll with those chopped low-rider buggies.
The ones with the chrome rims and curb feelers?
They have spinners and curb feelers… also look for the dingle balls and the doggie in the back with the head that bounces up and down.
I invite all Britts of good will to suggest to their government to adopt our 2nd Amendment.
Just a friendly suggestion. Plagiarize if you wish.
Well, the mayor of London did warn his subjects, er, citizens that they need to used to this.
And, apparently Ariana Grande just arrived back in the U.K. for a charity event.
Phucking phone. Insert “get” between “to” and “used”.
Londonistan AIN’T what it used to be, they volunteered to kiss their culture and society goodbye when they decided to let the animals take over their farm.
Yeh right, the muslim mayor warned them…lol roflmao…yeh right!!
Shockingly, some Muslims are against these monsters. One notable recent change at CIA was that Mike D’Andrea was put in charge of the Iran desk. D’Andrea, for those who don’t know, is a Muslim convert,… and is probably already causing Iranian counterintelligence sleepless nights. The Washington Post had a decent article here:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/world/middleeast/cia-iran-dark-prince-michael-dandrea.html
Sure, there’s a bit of a problem within Islam, but Islam has a lot of diversity in beliefs, cultures, etc. If a high-ranking CIA official can be a Muslim and be known for aggressively fighting terrorists, it’s pretty easy to see how a mayor could be Muslim and yet also be repulsed by these assholes.
Oops. Posted the NYT one. Ah well, you get the idea.
As one British imam said, these guys are not muslims – they have no religion.
Could be, but it’s pretty interesting how their actions line right up with those of mohammad and the koran
Patently false.
-they- believe in Islam, and practice it “by the book” one might say.
You can ignore reality, if you choose. But it is impossible to ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
Three separate incidents now…Amish must be having a wild night there tonight…
THIS IS ISLAM:
Why would it happen in England?
It happened because they
“EMBRACED ISLAM”, and for no other reason.
Time to get diversified again!
Any reports the London mayor was participating yet?
Three incidents at the same time and they only “suspect” terrorism. Plus they have signs they showed on the news reading, “Run…Hide…Tell” as their way of dealing with these things. Since no one is armed to shoot back against a knife wielding thug. So just run until you can’t, then try to hide so they can’t find you and then try to call for someone with a gun. Also, as the sign for “Hide” reads, put your phones on silent mode. I guess so while you’re hiding like a bitch, the thug can’t hear you. England needs to arm its lawful citizens and start killing these ass holes.
How’s that immigration and “let’s all just get along” program working out for you?
Don’t get me wrong, I am sad and sorry for those killed and injured. But when your government makes you sheep sitting in wait for the wolf it just makes no sense to me that the people are not crying out for the right to defend themselves.
The way the UK is right now they’d put the Jihadists at the front of the line for weapons permits, so they don’t offend them, by making them wait.
And the day is coming when the same thing will be repeated at a VA Medical Center here in America, and for the same reason, i.e., those stupid signs posted at the entrance of every VA facility.
Ever notice that for civilized people Americans are remakably disobediant of stupid rules?
In other news…the Mayor of London is in contact with Katy Perry’s publicist in order to seek her assistance in drafting a response to today’s incidents.
Someone named Furious Nurse has twittered out ‘CNN is ISIS’. Go down the page a bit.

I don’t do twitterpating for a good reason, but I do understand her angst.
Here’s front page stuff from Express.
White van (Photo included). One person arrested. There will be more later. The police are at least NOT mincing words about it. Calling it ‘terrorism’.

If the vehicles were horse-drawn, it’s obviously the Amish. Not to be trusted.
/s
Q: What goes on when you hear “Clip-clop, clip-clop, *BANG-BANG!* clip-clop, clip-clop…”?
A: An Amish drive-by shooting.
No big deal. London officials have a plan for its citizens in the event of a terror attack.
RUN
HIDE
TELL
I am NOT shitting you. Check it out!

How about, instead:
SEEK
IDENTIFY
DESTROY
And the Eurotrash want us to be more like them?
Yeah, I’ll pass.
The new frog prezzie Macron is quoted as twittering ‘Make our planet great again!’
I’m sure he’s going to twitterout ‘I stand with the dead of London Bridge’.
He is an ASS. AN ASS! And les Crapauds elected him instead of someone who would give France back to its people.
This pot is slowly reaching the boiling point. It will either boil over and put out the fire, or explode in a massive detonation.
The Frogs are getting what they paid for.
I’m getting to like this Macron guy, starting with his preemptive crushing of Trump’s dainty hand.
Until someone gets in Macron’s face and punches his nose… then he’ll fold (he’s French… winning isn’t in their blood – unless your Joan of Arc).
Keep on regurgitating the progressive/liberal message Joe… while you’re in line waiting for your Skittle Shitting Unicorn that the JEF promised you and your buddies.
You would’ve loved that Petaín guy back in 1940.
SHIT in your Mother’s face for breeding you, Joe! The French can’t do jack shit to President Trump.
WOW. How amazingly -petty-. (Both of you)
The man is 70+ and arthritic. A teenager could oversqueeze. That hand-wrestling doesnt demonstarte much. Usually, such contests indicate that one lacks self control, and has small petty goals.
Which one of those two leads the country that -defeated- facism, rather than -surrendered- to it and -collaborated- with it?
..
Oh.
Now I see why Joe Goebbels likes Macron so much!
Seek Help, you sick petty shitbag.
You think he’s so wonderful, Joey, you moron?
Fine, move your sorry un-American ass over to France right now. Macron wants all USers to move there who are disappointed with Trump as President. Get your ass over there now. I’m sure you’ll be able to find some 4th-floor flat in a pied-a-terre in Paris, with no air conditioner or heat in those older buildings, at a cheap-ass price. You’ll love it. You can shmooze with the migrants while you’re there.
Just go. No one is making you stay here, you useless piece of hog’s offal.
Nah. Joe’s Mom won’t let him outside after dark.
Sounds like some in the UK are fed up and decided to fight back:

Could be the IRA.
UK at large had been dealing with them for so much longer. Things did settle down a lot after 9/11 as people put aside their differences and there was a common enemy. But, that’s died down a lot so, I imagine the IRA will pick up again.
Not condoning IRA violence but they tend to be pretty selective in Targets. Randomly taking out people on the street isn’t their MO.
basic law: bombs are not selective. Targets may be but when to take out a specific target you blow off a bomb in a poulated area, that’s like spray ‘n pray in a shopping mall.
I cannot imagine any IRA folks shoulting “this is for Allah!” as witnesses reported.
And so far, the UK authorities have said nothing about -those- troubles, and they tend not to hesitate at all to so state when it is related to “the Troubles”.
Per this article from Fox News, there appears to be a burgeoning movement in UK government to deal harshly with these terrorists.

Maybe the Brits have had just about enough?
I mean, if you want to hang out at your local on Friday night, why should you have to be concerned about anything more important than footballers’ scores, or which is better, rugby league or rugby union?
To all our Brit cousins…..
Heavy walking sticks, shillelaghs, cricket bats, heavy umbrellas. Maybe American baseball bat? Too obvious?
These should help as defense against knife attacks. At least, until these defensive tools are themselves declared illegal. At which time, it’s time to declare war on the politicians, where rope would serve better.

“THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON”
By: Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
