    I don't think either side is 'in the right'. The UK govt. continue to supply arms to people like the Saudis to use on their rebels in Yemen. We invaded Iraq and a lot of people died whilst we sat on our sofas and watched reality TV.
    But mowing down innocent civilians, or stabbing police isn't going to change a thing as we all know.
    All it will lead to is an increase of both fear and security.

    Can't we spare the politics until this situation concludes. For fucks sake.

    When will the situation conclude? Years from now? Decades?

    An attack on the Houses of Parliament does seem somewhat of a political act to me.

    And just like I said, the Scottish Independence debate has been postponed now. Convenient.

    Possibility of two people in the vehicle! One the black guy who was arrested, and a second, a white guy with 2 large knives!

    That coming from witnesses!

    Dick, i would say it's understandable why it's been postponed, but yes, wonder if it's connected?
    I actually hope it is, and not terrorists!

    It's an act of terror whatever the race and motivation of the assailants.

    Hang on, they'd still be terrorists if they killed someone to prevent the indyref

    Fucking hell, its painful to watch Sky try and spread minimal information over 24-hour coverage

    "As an ex-cabinet minister, although you never attended a session yourself, could you speculate on what might be happening at COBRA right now?"

    No. No I can't.

    Well. They obviously can't go ahead with it now, can you imagine the things people would say? It won't affect the vote though in any way, I just wanted to hear it in the news.

    I was close by and heard some of the shots. It's just crazy and really frightening.

    Yeah, I'm fine. Was waiting for a friend to finish work in Westminster so we could go for a drink.

    Makes you realise that something can happen at anytime. It could have been so much worse.

    Just worrying.
