Terror attack on British Parliament

[Fauxnaki]

I hate what's become of my capital city

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

I'm happy with it, guy attacks, is neutralised as quickly as possible and protection swarms in so nothing else can happen.

Outside that bubble, life goes on as normal, within a couple of hours, you had 2 tube stations closed, a few streets nearby, by I was walking around nearby pretty much normally.

The worst part to me is that ISIS has claimed they were behind it, but the British police have said they believe it was a lone nutcase-but which version do you think people will believe? All this will do is set off anothe eacecof paranoia and xenophobia. Someone could fart and ISIS would claim responsibility and it would have that effect.

Lot of these recent terror attacks are lone guns inspired by ISIS and other terrorist groups and ISIS heavily encourages lone wolf attacks if you're not affiliated with them. So whenever you get one of these pieces of shit that was influenced in some way by there ideologies then they claim responsibility for it.

IS aren't directly involved in most of these attacks in the west. But they definitely inspire them. All the violent shitbergs, often native born in the countries they attack, can now direct their aggression towards what they regard as a "cause". It's more efficient for a terrorist group rather than organising their own cells, which require support, training, documentation, cover stories etc...Lone attackers unconnected to a wider structure also eliminates the risk of the organisation being compromised by informants and infiltration.

Exactly. Plus they don't have the kind of resources Al Qaeda does, so they can't organize large-scale operations like them and they pretty much have to rely on pissed off nutjobs. On top of that, Daech isn't looking to win, or to create a Muslim nation or anything like that, they want to breed fear, paranoia and hatred. They're a cult trying to bring an apocalyptic prophecy to life, so they have no interest in weakening their enemies, just bait them into going to war.

Also apparently, they have put some generic information out there, so you don't have to contact them, become a member or anything, just follow these useful steps and be an idiot without them having to raise a finger.

That is also true. Angry idiots wanting the glory of a cause without having to commit to it truly are the cancer of the 21st century. And it really goes to show that religion or even ideology are just an excuse.

That's what I mean. It feeds this idea that the Western Hemisphere is under constant threat from the likes of ISIS when you have more chance of being hit by a car. By falling for that we just give them what they want.

Sorry but my blood is boiling now. One of the victims was a mother going to fetch her children from school. The 8 and 11 year old will never see their mum again.

Those poor babies I'm so sorry to hear that.

Sad all round but the mum struck me hard.

Everyone here apart from Daily Mail readers is well aware by know that if you cut yourself shaving, ISIL will claim the razor as one of their agents.

Hell, our Prime Minister has already stated that it's not right to call it an act of Islamic Terrorism.

That's what's getting me with this one, even Teresa May is calling for calm, there have even been Daily Mail articles that have been fairly even handed.

This is weird.

Thank you for that. The comment sections in certain "news" sites are downright neo-nazi ATM.

Not really sure what you mean there by what's "become" of it.

Fewer people in Britain, in London even, have died as a result of terrorism in the last ten years than in any other decade in my lifetime.

i hate what's become of my media and my education system if people genuinely think we're less safe from terrorist groups now than we were in the 1970s or 1980s.

its not just terrorism though. we've had a huge rise of pedophile rings especially up north thats still going on

[Hit Girl]

The Daily Mail published the story of the supposedly indifferent Muslim woman walking by the wounded apparently non-plussed. In fact, she was clearly very shocked and upset. So today, the Mail are trying to backtrack. Even people on their notoriously extreme comments section were criticising them for running the story in the first place.

Even more than that, their resident professional troll/bitch, whose name I will not dignify with a mention, has been on FOX News parroting the horseshit that London is terrified, cowed in fear, and divided, which even a shitberg like Piers Moron condemned as ridiculous.

A huge rise in the north? Again, not borne out by the statistics. Reported sex crime is evenly distributed in all parts of the country.

Sexual offenses are (very thankfully) not half as frequent or common as people suppose. 

Official stats suggest that knowing how many sexual offenses take place each year is incredibly hard, due to underreporting.

Though there has been a marked increase in the reporting of sex offenses in recent years, the ONS itself suggests that "The rises in the volume of sexual offences recorded by the police should be seen in the context of a number of high-profile reports and inquiries which is thought to have resulted in police forces reviewing and improving their recording processes."

Kids aren't necessarily at greater risk. Just (thankfully) we're better at doing something about it these days.

It's very revealing, though, that you randomly link terrorist attacks (the topic of this thread) and paedophilia like that. Almost as if you were trying to imply something you knew to be racist and distasteful.

I'm not into nationalistic bollocks but this is one of the few things that I'm genuinely proud of about this country.

We don't wallow in pity or milk tragedy for all its worth, we just say "yeah it happened" and go about our business as normal as soon as it is over and in doing so we stick two fingers up at terrorism in the best way possible.

It's the same London it's always been. It'll always be a target for British enemies, and they always lose in the end. The Nazi tried and failed. The IRA tried and failed. Hell even going further back you had the pitiful Gunpowder Plotters, who tried to commit mass murder and regicide. How did that work out for them? Now it's these shitbergs. They'll fail too.
