I don't live in London or Manchester but when you hear stuff like this you just don't wanna go out anymore. I'd rather stay at home and not socialise. These bastards are making the world a scary place. Why do they do this? Are we doing something wrong? Is it not right to live our lives anyway we want? Can we not go out and party and get drunk and have a good time? What the hell is wrong with that?

Is it the Methodists this time or the Lutherans?

This is happening just a few miles from me and I'm sickened and angry and sick of this bullsh*t. I was raised a liberal BUT this whole country has its candy-ass PC head buried in the sand. I'm sick of it. Westminster, Manchester, now this, I'm SICK of this s**t. I'm seriously hating living here.

The UK is too soft with all this political correctness. Yes I KNOW the majority of muslims are NOT terrorists, but we don't know who is and who isn't. We need to send them back to their own countries and close our borders. The f*****g Tory government goes and cuts back thousands of police officers, and this is when we need them the most! We can't go on like this. They say not to be frightened and not to avoid going to busy places because the terrorists will win, but if it keeps on happening like this people will fear for their safety and not want to set foot out. The f*****g terrorists just don't f*****g stop. Something needs to be done. The UK needs to put political correctness aside and be firm for once, to protect it's people. Yes I feel sorry for muslims because of the very few that give them a bad name, but something still needs to be done. We need more police, more trained army forces, more security, not f*****g cut backs just to save a few million pounds that won't even touch the amount of debt the country is in. I wish I could move out to the country and not have to live in the city. I'm so f*****g s**t scared, I'm just waiting for terrorists to strike here next. There are a lot of muslims living here, I just hope they are genuine and no terrorists are among them. OK I do not like getting too political on WP because there are a lot of know-it-alls here who will get offended or try to tell me how wrong I am but this is what I hear of and I read up about UK politics a lot so shut up.

The British people can easily make all this stop: just surrender. Behead all the non-Muslim members of your government, and all your priests and bishops, and the royal family, and the Caliphate will give you peace.

By the way, the Islamic State's weekly magazine (they have a magazine, you know) announced two days ago that another attack was about to occur:

The latest issue of the Islamic State's weekly newspaper al-Naba released two days ago warned that another terrorist attack in Britain was "definitely coming."

Al-Naba, a 16-page color newsletter, is distributed within ISIS territory but is also posted and distributed online via the usual ISIS mediums such as Telegram and social media.

Britain, said an article within the newsletter titled "Blessed Battle of Manchester: A new lesson for tyrants, Crusader States," thought it "was safe from the wounds of the Mujahideen." ...

Last month in Rumiyah magazine, which is published in several languages including English, ISIS published a remedial step-by-step pictorial for lone jihadists on how to use a heavy vehicle to kill, walking would-be terrorists through how to acquire a vehicle and which targets to strike.

"The ideal vehicle," said ISIS, has a "slightly raised chassis and bumper," is a "double-wheeled, load-bearing truck" that "large in size, heavy in weight" and is "fast in speed or rate of acceleration."

The suggestions for ideal targets also illustrated examples. Corresponding to "large outdoor festivals, conventions, celebrations, and parades" was a photo of an LGBT event.

Daily Mail now reporting seven dead at multiple locations:

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

This is an Australian publication of the UK daily mail and it looks like it's out of step with virtually all the other news sources around the UK

Currently live streaming from the UK the toll is
6 civilians murdered
3 gunmen shot dead
30 civilians injured

Yes this is currently being used to attack Theresa's May's decision to downgrade the risk of attack, a decision which I think British security forces advised based on risk assessment

My guess is the IS suicide operatives (or inspired followers) used this as an opportunity given they were probably planning to this earlier

I wonder how bad it will have to get before the PC crowd realizes there really is a problem. Of course if it was Russians doing this, they would want every measure put into place asap instead of fighting so hard against it.

You may not see the big picture, but the terrorists do -- their unholy month is upon us.

149 Dead So Far In Ramadan Attacks

Significant terrorist attacks have sprung up across the globe since the beginning of Muslim holy month of Ramadan May 26, with current counts confirming three attacks and 149 dead, and a reported Saturday incident on London Bridge still developing.

Islamist terrorist groups usually use the holiday to mount more significant terrorist attacks, and promise their followers extra benefits for dying in such attacks during the holy month.
