London police working 3 separate incidents at London Bridge, Borough Market and now Vauxhall. This looks relatively big and still unfolding at this point. Para, posting as I hadn't seen another thread and this is looking pretty serious.

London Terror Attack

Jihadi terrorists shouting 'this is for Allah' kill seven in knife frenzy at 'FIVE' locations in the capital: Hunt for men with 12in blades who began the rampage by mowing down revellers on London Bridge
The men, described as being 'of Mediterranean origin', reportedly drove the van at 50mph across the bridge
One horrified woman said she saw three people with what appeared to be their throats cut at London Bridge
The gang had metal canisters strapped to their chests and two were reportedly shot dead by armed police
They also tried to storm into pub in nearby Borough Market, where a man was reportedly stabbed five times
Also unconfirmed reports of gunfire on Southwark Street amid the 'utter chaos' of attack on Saturday night
A bomb squad has attended and boats are searching the Thames amid reports people were pushed in water

From Sky News:
The incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market have been declared terrorist incidents by the Met Police, with a stabbing at Vauxhall not connected.

:: LIVE: Latest from London terror attack

People in the three affected areas have been urged to run, hide and call police.

On Twitter, the Met Police said: "RUN - to a place of safety. This is a better option than to surrender or negotiate. If there's nowhere to go then...

"HIDE - turn your phone to silent and turn off vibrate. Barricade yourself in if you can.

"TELL - the police by calling 999 when it is safe to do so."

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "The situation is still unfolding and I would ask all Londoners and visitors to our city to remain calm and vigilant."

LONDON BRIDGE
From 10.08pm police responded to reports of a vehicle hitting pedestrians. Paramedics and specialist response teams arrived in six minutes to assess the level and nature of injuries, the London Ambulance Service said.

Nick Archer, who was in the London Bridge area, told Sky News: "We came out (of a bar) on to the road and looked and looked to my left and there as a guy, I thought he was just drinking but he was lying on the floor.
"And then a couple of seconds later, about three police vans flew past.
"He looked in a bad way."

A taxi driver called Chris told LBC said he saw men armed with foot-long knives after a van drove on to the pavement.
He told the station: "I didn't see the van mount the kerb, but I saw everything else.
"A van came from London Bridge itself, went between the traffic light system and rammed it towards the steps. It knocked loads of people down.
"Then three men got out with long blades, 12 inches long and went randomly along Borough High Street stabbing people at random. I saw a young girl stabbed in the chest.

BOROUGH MARKET
Armed officers fired shots after responding to reports of stabbings. A witness at Katzenjammers, the Bavarian-style beer cellar near Borough Market, told Sky News how armed police entered and shouted at people to hit the floor. At 12.25am the incident in Borough Market and London Bridge were declared terrorist incidents. The Met Police have told people to continue avoiding both areas to allow emergency services to deal with the incidents. London Bridge and Borough stations are closed, Transport for London said.

VAUXHALL
A third incident is taking place at Vauxhall but was a stabbing and not connected to the other two incidents, Scotland Yard said. Some reports say this incident is over. Vauxhall station was closed but has now reopened.

RIVER THAMES
Two police boats are on the River Thames and working with RNLI lifeboats to evacuate people. They were also reportedly looking for people who may have been thrown off the bridge.

The London mayor foretold this.

I really hope these events are all coincidence.

Long article and lots of pictures at this link.


Seven people are feared dead after three men with 12-inch hunting knives reportedly stabbed pedestrians after mowing down up to 20 people with a white van on London Bridge.
The men, described as being 'of Mediterranean origin', reportedly jumped out of the van and began 'randomly stabbing people' along Borough High Street in central London at 10pm.

It's Ramadan, and there was a call for making this month a bloody one.
An article on this about a week ago:
Isis calls on supporters to wage 'all-out war' on West during Ramadan

We are on really high alert here in East Africa.

Much thoughts and prayers for London.

There are 3.5 million Muslims in the UK. In England, they are about 5% of the total population. In enclaves around London, they approach 50% of the population.

If England's government woke up tomorrow, they would still be in for a world of hurt, just with the current levels of Muslim populations, whose birth rates are multiples of English, Irish, Welch and Scottish birthrates. When they comprise a voting majority, Sharia Law will become an unstoppable fact of life in the UK. The current level of terrorist attacks-- this the second attack on London Bridge-- will be remembered as the good old days.

And the same is true for the rest of Europe, especially Germany and France.

We are witnessing a bizarre historical phenomenon, in which Europe committed slow suicide. In which those who resisted self-destruction were vilified and stigmatized.

Thank God we have President Donald Trump. Every day, thank God for him. And for his keeping Hillary Clinton out of The White House.

Ariana Grande's "One Love Manchester" concert is scheduled for tomorrow evening. I'm sure that will fix everything. Love conquers all.

My thoughts and prayers go out to....ah, never mind. Tired of that crap.

One day the UK and the rest of Europe will do something about the creeping Islamic invasion that is taking over their countries. The leaders now just tell everyone it's the new normal - for them it might be because they ride in armored cars and walk around with armed security. For the rest of the population, you would think they'd be getting tired of this crap and demand something more than hashtags and photo filters.

I can't watch the tv coverage-- especially starting tomorrow-- because the candles and flowers and teddy bears, and the teary-eyed hand-holding and singing, Turn. My. Stomach.

Damn, FNC is spending a lot of time with their feed from SKY News, and they're really just rehashing the incidents. I was really hoping for some analysis of the week's events, especially regarding POTUS reasserting our sovereignty.

^^^rsd1220 Yep. And Theresa May went out on a limb and said that this was "potentially a terrorist incident."

Could be. Let's not discount that. Those Mediterranean people can be quite unpredictable.

^^^For Chrissakes, where the fuck are the British soccer thugs when you need them, not to mention the Brits that fought the Vikings 1200 years ago, kicked the shit out of the French, fought the Japanese in Burma and the Germans in El Alamein?

^^^ That is a serious question. I wonder that all the time. Where are the men?? Really. Where are they?

Hundreds of Swedish women are raped and assaulted on New Year's Eve. And their men?

I don't understand this. Are there no men in Europe? None who would rather fight and die fighting if necessary than passively watch what's happening? None who will go into the fucking "no go zones?" everywhere in Europe now and say-- "This is OUR fucking country!"

I believe that “run, hide, tell” makes perfect sense when there are no other options.

Oh, let people be armed effectively, we say? Polls have shown that even a majority of British police themselves don’t want to be armed.

When/if that mindset ever changes I’d volunteer to go there and teach classes, but I’m getting up in years and doubt that I’ll live long enough to see that happen. Until then, if vigils and lighting up Big Ben in rainbow colors isn’t going to change things, neither will American gun owners’ smugly pontificating that they need to come up with something more effective than running and hiding.

We shouldn’t ever forget either that the situation isn’t that much different in this country. In areas where ordinary residents can arm themselves in public the percentages are very small; in areas where they can’t, they’re even smaller. Despite the fact that some people believe the police don’t and can’t actually prevent crimes, I believe that’s part of the reason we don’t have these sorts of low level attacks, not because maybe one in a thousand non-LEOs is both armed and capable of reacting quickly and correctly to such things.

justjoe, when I think of the Defence of Rorke's Drift and how the small group of British soldiers were going to be slaughtered by an overwhelming number of Africans and yet held on and beat them back, I think of those Brits that are in their homeland who are going to be slaughtered by savages far less in number and far less tough.

Dont know what to say and of course they dont deserve it. They are all sorts of messed up over there and somehow look down their nose at us. I saw a tweet by a woman after the manchester bombing calling for people to stand up....she was reported to the police and they are investigating her. They have a mental illness over there and I thank the Lord I live here and we have Trump. They laugh and mock us for Trump yet they vote for leaders that bring in terrorists and destroy their society. Not to be rude but its hard for me to feel sorrow for them, attack after attack and they choose to do nothing. Not only nothing, but invite more in and investigate anyone who speaks out against it. They are the left. They are the globalists.
