Yesterday’S Terror Attack Didn’T Succeed

[naomi24]

So said an expert of terrorism (didn’t catch his name) on Radio 4 this lunchtime. It didn’t succeed? Really? Four innocent people, including a policeman, are dead, twenty lie injured, some very seriously, and pandemonium was created in the heart of our capital city. I’m not sure whether some of these people are living on a different planet, or whether they think by playing down the truth, somehow the fears of the public, whom I can't help thinking are perceived as fools, will be allayed, but either way it’s a blatant lie. Did it succeed? You can bet your boots it did!

Its a good job that we did not rely on your Dunkirk spirit during the war as things would have turned out very differently!!

[ladybirder]

I'd say it was successful as well, especially if it was my husband or father or son/daughter who had been killed or maimed. I think Theresa May meant that Khalid Masood did not get passed the gates of the HoC therefore he was not successful but the first part of his plan certainly was.

[Jackdaw33]

I thought the same, AOG.

[Islay]

Yes we as in the UK
Please don't start again about how dare we comment on the 2nd WW as we were not there as that is a cop out and you know it!

[Mamyalynne]

Yes LB that was the context of the PM's use of those words.

What the Prime Minister and other MP's were saying this morning was that the terrorist failed in his bid to separate and cause division ... we are united against terrorism they repeated and repeated.

Well obviously we are not united or else this scumbag would not have set out yesterday with the sole intention of killing others.

[naomi24]

Talbot, quite right. It's a load of hot air - and that's putting it kindly.

-Talbot-

We are not even united on AnswerBank, else we wouldn't be having these long debates on the subject.

'pandemonium was created in the heart of our capital city' It was created in a very small area of our capital city. A few streets away, life went on more or less as normal.

[naomi24]

Zacs-Master, pandemonium nonetheless.

Whose were all those removed answers? I saw nothing untoward here?

[Zacs-Master]

Perspective Naomi. Perspective.

[naomi24]

Never heard of him!! ;o)
