Woolwich

Really shocking news about this vile, cowardly attack. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this young man.

Angry

My full commiserations to the victim whether military or not. News reports that, after the first COBRA meeting, police guarding around Woolwich Barracks has been "beefed up". I suspect thats the bleeding heart politicians trying to stop the lads going out looking for "other suspicious individuals". I'm sick of seeing Muslim gangs "grooming" young teenaged girls for sex. Muslim gangs gang raping white girls. And now this. When are we going to stop this, or are we all afraid of being labelled racists ? The people perpetrating these crimes never get accused of racism, and yet look at their targets. Sorry all, I'm just sick of what happened, what the politicians will do to cover it up and how everyone will shrink from saying what is true in our politically correct society. Rant over.

Cowardly sums it up.

Their god may be great but I'm pretty sure he would be totally embarrassed at this sort of event.

RIP

And still live.

Which is all well and good in our pc age as the Police can't be held to account of using excessive force.

Terrible event, RiP lad, it should never had been allowed to happen.

Its long past the time for the Govt to wake up and really start to do something about the real issues facing the country rather than wasting parlimentry time on some stupid wedding legislation for a very small but loud & in yer face minority group!

I can't believe the live reports I'm reading. It is alleged that they were beheading the individual in broad daylight in London and in front of crowd. It is also reported that unarmed Police were on scene at the end of the road just keeping the crowd back and waiting for an armed response unit - I would hope that if I was being hacked to death by nutjobs that the Police would do at least something to help (if that report is true). If I had been one of the passing motorists and seen this I would have run the f^ckers over - you can't wield a knife with broken arms and fingers!

I stopped to help a motorist who was being subjected to some serious road-rage last week where he had been cut up by an idiot who was overtaking a queue of slow moving traffic. I was in uniform and lent the poor chap my support in firmly but politely asking the pr!ck in a pick-up van to get in his vehicle and move on. I walked past 3 cars with grown men sitting there doing nothing and at least another dozen cars behind. I got a couple of thumbs up from them at the roundabout and thanks from the besieged motorists - but most were willing to sit there and watch it just happen. Is this what we've come to? Is this the "not my job guv" or "where's my help, I'm totally pathetic" culture we've got into?

Disgusted and disappointed, would some it up.

God speed Tommy...

The 'Moderators' are having to do a lot of work tonight, not helped by some of the more rabid contributors. Having witnessed some of the postings on the now-deleted threads, they are at least trying to keep reasonable debate going. Just as on any Internet forum, it gets out-of-hand occasionally.

Leon, I can categorically state that I would also have run the f*ckers over. An appropriate use of force.
Sometimes doing nothing shouldn't be an option.

Why the need to highlight FEMALE PC ?

The media is doing the same.

‘If’ it is true that it took 20 minutes for armed Police to arrive outside an Army Base where one of its own soldiers (or anyone else) was being killed, this begs the question why armed Army and/or other base security staff could not have gone to his aid? I therefore hope that a very urgent enquiry will ask this question and address it. Are Police/Local Bases not in good communications with each other and able to support each other in such exceptional circumstances? If this had been a bigger Mumbai terror attack then just how many people could have been killed before any armed Police/Military turn up to tackle such a threat? (Even when it takes place in London!)

First of all condolencies to the family of the young man butchered in the street in this horrendous attack.

As to your point, I fully agree. I'm also sick of seeing Christian gangs doing the same thing in this country.

RIP young lad. Whoever you are, you didn't deserve this.


My Beef is with the BBC who are giving "the oxygen of publicity" (again) to the gits who did this - when they should actually be showing the footage of the Lady Shooter taking them down.

I believe that would prevent many more lunatics from trying this.
