The terrorist attack on Parliament could have been prevented if police on duty at a well-known security “weak spot” had simply kept it bolted, MPs have said.
Three people died on the road and bridge outside you horrible little knobs. A locked gate between you and your constituents wouldn’t change that, would it?
Meanwhile Spud got at least as far as paragraph two before starting to talk about himself and pointing out he goes to Westminster a lot and is on “nodding terms” with the police there. I’m just amazed he didn’t claim to be the real target.
The only people who matter in this country are the MPs.
According to MPs.
So the reality is “Bugger the oiks and the plebs (including presumably the plebs in uniforms), we were attacked!”.
No doubt security around Westminster will be ramped up another six notches while any real chance of improving the security of man on the Clapham Omnibus remains close to nil.
Will we be revoking the UK citizenships of non-UK born Muslim extremists and deporting them back where they belong? Nope, ‘cos they haz Yuman Rites don’t they…
Will we be closing the shabby backstreet madrassas where kids are taught this filthy ideology of murder and hatred from the age where other kids are playing with Lego? Nope, Yuman Rites again.
Mother May spent years at the Home Office proposing draconian and intrusive laws to snoop on the general public at large, but when something actually needs to be done her spine turns to custard.
Probably the best answer would be to remove all security protection from the precious little snowflakes at Westminster and then see what happens.
All that is likely to happen in reality is that the Westminster bubble will get a steel and rubber overcoat.
The man (and indeed woman) on the Clapham Omnibus? Fuck ’em obviously. As Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said last year “Terrorist attacks and part-and-parcel of life in a big city”. Presumably this was while being watched over by numerous police and security officers…how fucking comforting…
Time to make life for the strict adherents a tad uncomfortable before they go the full jihadi:
No more “Islam is the Religion of Peace” crap, what they mean is Submission and the right to saw off your head if you disagree.
No halal meat: cruelty to animals. The seriously religious can become vegetarians.
Sermons in mosques in English only. Prosecute allincitement to violence, including relevant bits of Koran
No more translators paid by taxpayer
Support those leaving the religion, by vigorously prosecuting those who attempt to intimidate.
Ignore the offended and restore free speech: Mo was a paedophile warlord who had no sense of humour, who personally murdered hundreds, fact.
No more hands off multicultural relativism, a civilised society is based on freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and equality before the law, all contrary to shariah, all requiring vigorous defence from this evil cult.
John Glat and LJH – well said. No more to add but want you to know I feel the same way.
What’s the betting the gate was unbolted because said GLKs had complained about having to walk around “the long way” to enter the House?
The only solution is a Britain without a single Muslim. Walls work. We need to return to a much more homogeneous country.
The only question is how many people have to die before the governing class accepts this.
Although the panic among the BBC journalist types now they and their friends are at risk is contemptible.
“Pedestrian entrances for passholders require a pass and a pin number and passholders are vetted in advance by the security services.”
The same security services caught on the hop by yet another hiding-in-plain-sight Islamist terrorist?
oh, sorry, according to the Met spokesman (already in ‘can’t see the elephant in the room’ mode before the blood of his colleague is washed off the Westminster cobbles), someone ‘inspired by Islamist terror’… *rolls eyes*
JuliaM – “The same security services caught on the hop by yet another hiding-in-plain-sight Islamist terrorist?”
The same security services now engaged in a bit of Security Theatre? They have arrested his wife and friends in Birmingham? Great. What is that likely to do? What crime are they likely to have committed? They promise to patrol around London some more? With machine guns? Great. The driver wants to die. He will circle the block until they have gone.
There is one solution to this problem.
Conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism for start, evidence being works by Islamist terrorists such as Mo the Pedo on their bookshelves.
Until we accept reality and acknowledge Islam as a doctrine of armed insurrection upon the West and treat those who refuse to recant it as active agents of a foreign power seeking the overthrow of the British government and its way of life we will get nowhere.
Islam is not a religion, it is a violent political ideology from the 7th century, which is where its practitioners should be sent.
Yes, I’m sure some of them are decent people, who only follow this because of “family traditions” and a desire not to have their heads cut off when visiting relatives in Islamistan, but frankly that’s just tough.
Coming (indeed often fleeing) to the West means leaving that barberous bullshit like Suti, FGM, honour killings and the rest behind you, Islam included.
Don’t like it? Go elsewhere then.
‘inspired by Islamist terror’
He may have seen the BBC’s McGuiness coverage and been inspired to start a peace process of his own.
Surprised so few people in the media and on social media are remarking on Erdogan’s incitement to murder just the other day.
Can you imagine the shitstorm if Trump had said something even remotely similar? But Islamist Turk dictators get a free pass; doublethink comes to the rescue.
“He may have seen the BBC’s McGuiness coverage and been inspired to start a peace process of his own.”
Quite so.
I am reminded of Andrew Mitchell’s behaviour, his expressed sense of entitlement.
Spud update: Ok, whoever it was who wrote that, if you honestly thought he’d approve the comment then I sallute you.
Railings or bollards in busy pedestrian areas like Westmister bridge might be a good idea. Would help prevent/minimise accidents as well as attacks.
All RoP/ SubSaharan migration should be at once halted permanently. No more “refugees” or family re-unions.
All those here at once lose all voting rights–thus ensuring no political power blocks .
And the office of London Mayor instantly abolished.
That’ll do for a start.
We can have the religion of peace (ha ha ha!) or we can have people mown down by cars / policemen murdered / commuters blown up / soldiers beheaded in broad daylight / thousands of little girls raped and pimped out.
But obviously banning a foreign religion that encompasses many ethnic groups and whose core tenets are irredeemably, nakedly hostile to us – and have been for over 1000 years – would be racist, or something and might hurt their feelings.
So I say we ban cars.
“Railings or bollards in busy pedestrian areas like Westmister bridge might be a good idea.”
I’d imagine they don’t because, in the event of a major incident on the bridge -say a fire-, it’d make it difficult for emergency vehicles to access the bridge to deal with it.
Some of the bridges in London already have seperation between the car and pedestrian traffic, Tower bridge and Hammersmith bridge are two I can think of off the top of my head.
@The Thought Gang
Are you referring to Charles Demoyne? Spud didn’t fully approve it but he obviously liked it going up on his blog, along with a follow-up.
Enabled Spud to be soooooooo self-deprecating. Must have given him a warm wet feeling…..
Travel correspondent lost no time in using the article to argue for banning cars from London, to protect “our liberal, open and tolerant way of life”:
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/london-terror-attack-car-westminster-bridge-separate-public-traffic-a7644646.html
Pretty fucking intolerant of those who are unable to walk or find walking difficult, but fuck ’em: tolerance is at stake.
Anyway, he’s fine with taxis (he has to get around somehow I suppose). No Islamist would steal or use a taxi to kill people, only cars. And of course because our fearless correspondent has banned cars, the roads will be completely clear for our “not really Islam” attacker to get a decent speed going in his stolen taxi before he impacts into the crowds of people enjoying our “liberal, open and tolerant way of life”.
“No Islamist would steal or use a taxi to kill people”
Or a truck, bus, delivery van, cop car, ambulance…
‘The terrorist attack on Parliament could have been prevented if police on duty at a well-known security “weak spot” had simply kept it bolted, MPs have said.’
This is profoundly stupid. London is one big weak spot. There are a thousand ways to kill multiple people. Terrorism won’t be stopped by a bolt.
As above comments have said, Islam isn’t compatible with the West. Every Muslim has a book that says he should kill you. There is nothing else you need to know.
Well, if the Islamist nutters are going to attack anyone, then it should be our erstwhile members of Parliament (both Commons and Lords) as it was their foray into illegal wars…none of which were our bloody business that kicked off the latest cycle of the West versus Islam bickering in the first place.
Let those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind and a plague on both their houses.
John Galt: their inability to name the problem, their stigmatisation of any brave enough to discuss it, their welcome to the hostile colonists, should make politicians the deserving target. Remove all protection from Westminster until such time as they act in the interests of civilised values, indigenous traditions and culture and the ordinary taxpayers of the sceptr’d isle. Until then keep Corbyn on standby for hostage taking then Keith Vaz, all the appeasers, ready to fall on their swords for multiculturalism!
I don’t think that’s a sword Keith Vaz is repeatedly falling on.
@ John Galt Pork sword, perhaps?
We don’t say Nazi nutters. Nor radical Nazism.
There is no reason to say Islamist nutters, nor radical Islam.
@Gamecock: exactly 100% on the money. This is what I can’t understand – if a secular political party espoused the ideas that Islam (in even its moderate forms) stands for, that party would either be outright banned, or heavily regulated by the State (think how the BNP are treated, BNP members being forbidden to work in many State jobs for example). Yet because Muslims attribute these beliefs to a sky fairy, suddenly its all fine.
If a bunch of modern neo-Nazis started a religion with Uncle Adolf as their deity, would we accept them parading around calling for the Final Solution, because sky fairy Adolf says so? I somehow doubt it, so why does Mo get a free pass? Is it just the passage of time? Be dead for long enough and suddenly you can become a deity and all your views, however abhorrent are now acceptable?
This country is so fucked, its unbelievable.
John Galt – “Well, if the Islamist nutters are going to attack anyone, then it should be our erstwhile members of Parliament (both Commons and Lords) as it was their foray into illegal wars…none of which were our bloody business that kicked off the latest cycle of the West versus Islam bickering in the first place.”
What illegal wars? If I remember correctly the SAS had to storm the Iranian embassy well before the Iraq War. In fact 9-11 was before George W’s Gulf War.
They hate us because they can. Not because of anything we do.
What is interesting is that the BBC is suddenly using the t word. They are calling it terrorism. This man is not being called an “activist” but an actual “terrorist”.
I guess trying to kill the people who sign your pay cheques is very different from raping working class White girls.
‘These people are no longer extremists. They are simply more devout.’ – Katie Hopkins
I just want to say it’s been good reading the comments on this thread. The candour about the nature of islam, it’s embedded hatred and will to violence, is so refreshing compared with the “religion of peace” dreck we invariably get from politicians, media and churchmen. Muslims must be held responsible for their harmful impacts on western societies, they suffer from a pathological hatred of the infidel world that can never be fixed even if they wanted to, and they don’t want to.
And now we are all confronted with the results of Blair and Mandelson’s covert project to rub our noses in diversity by importing as many hostile, violent, dangerous, anti-social terrorist supporters as they possibly could cram in.
They should be the first to lose their armed security….
