The man was extremely repetitive, but the gist of it was that he saw them shoot him five times as he laid on the ground, which was what reminded me of Gibraltar.

if and if he was a suicide bomber then the police did a fantastic job, about time we started treating these scum like they treat us.

anyone in any of the forces whether it be police, army, navy, etc etc have my utmost respect as they do a job which I couldn't.

Hello

There is going to be hell to pay for:

One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him.
I hope they find a gun or explosives on him.

One of the reasons this is happening in London is that both Red Ken and Tony Blair have shown themselves open to this kind of action. Ken is a long time supporter of both Irish and Arab terrorists and has been open about this support. Tony has had Irish terrorists in Number 10 for tea, including one who detonated a huge bomb in London which resulted in the death of one person.

If I were a terrorist the first thing I'd do would be to strike in a country which has demonstrated that it gives in to terrorism. So when you see Red Ken up there with a long face just remember that he encouraged it and might even have assisted, indirectly, in paying for the devices now exploding in London. Apply the same logic to Tony, as soon as the Irish terrorists started bombing London he started talking to them and inviting them round for tea.

To be honest, in view of this track record, it is a surprise that London doesn't have more terrorist attacks. If I were a terrorist I wouldn't go to America but if I thought that the Mayor of London might support me and the PM might invite me for tea if I killed enough people then I'd be concentrating my operations on London and I wouldn't give up until I got the political and international recognition that Ken and Tony have given to others. There is no such thing as a good terrorist, some people condemn one group while viewing another group as "freedom fighters" for example and, again, this attitude encourages a diverse range of groups to chance their arm. All terrorism is bad and is an attempt to reduce the freedom of the majority by allowing a small group to impose their views upon everyone. The way to fight this is not by giving the terrorist support or recognition as those two idiots in London are doing as that only encourages all terror groups that their actions will eventually give them what they want.

THe same eyewitness also said they they werent uniformed firearms officers. When you consider that as 'plain-clothed Policemen', they could actually be Special Branch, Anti-Terrorist Squad, MI5.....or perhaps the Army.

but they're not just attacking london because its an easy target. the same could be said about nearly any country. There is a big reason for attacks against us. Its not about TB inviting terrorists to dinner, they've got the major hump about various thing, iraq, etc.

What is amazing is the eye witnesses who give accounts to the Press before the Police....helpful with trials. Nice to see Ian Blair picked up on this yesterday....

The west invades a country who's regime we're opposed to - Force for good, liberators, democratic nation builders

newly occupied nation attacks us - terrorists

Insurgents in other countries whose regime we do not support - freedom fighters

Insurgents in other countries whose regime we do support - terrorists


See a pattern building?

SO19 the police firearms unit have recently introduced a plain clothes element to their team but as you say no idea where they originate - indeed no reason why anyone in a Police uniform could not originate from another unit in certain conditions - Army on the streets may give the wrong message?

They've just taken a dog patrol into the mosque. There will be hell to pay for that. Muslims won't have dogs in their homes let alone a mosque.

I didn't say it was "easy" in the sense of organising the attack. However, the leadership have shown themselves willing to impart international political legitimacy upon terrorist organisations. In the end this is what terror is about, in a military sense they can't beat the UK or the US but if they become a political force with international support (look how some elements of Irish terrorism used American support to increase their political power for example) then their support base will increase and their apparent power will increase. This is how a small number of volunteers willing to bomb, shoot and die can easily change the political landscape in the face of weak leadership such as Red Ken and Blair. When you see them on the TV with their long faces it is important to remember that it was them who brought this upon London.

Now that Tony and Red Ken are facing the possibility of a dirty bomb in London they will go running to talk to any terrorist organisation who will speak with them. In turn this becomes a catch 22 situation.

Agreed, wouldnt suprise me if one or more of them were caught yesterday... not announced, questioned hence leading them to this mosque today....
