One woman confirmed dead (Standard suggests two deaths), and at least ten serious, some catastrophic, injuries. One seriously injured woman rescued from the river. Car drove into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge then one of the at least - according to witnesses quoted on BBC - two attackers stabbed a police officer inside gates of Westminster. Terrible, but could have been far worse when you think about France and Germany's experiences with terrorists using vehicles as weapons.


Stabbed police officer confirmed to have died from his injuries according to the Guardian.

Named very quickly by Police (edit: apparently as that's been removed now too)


Edit: added source as that Wiki page keeps changing



If this wasn't the guy how did a load of newspapers report it and Channel 4 then pull it

Because they all see everyone else is saying it so just do the same thing instantly without bothering to check. Funny that.

According to some sources the guy named by C4 news, the "hate preacher" Abu Izzadeen, is actually in jail at the moment for breaching bail terms. He does bear a superficial resemblance to the pictures of the attacker, but other than that there doesn't seem to be much reasoning behind it.

His wiki page now says sent down for 2 years in jan 2016


That rumour just flew across the media then removed just as quickly.


Just shows as mentioned above - but some of the news said the police had named him too.

      The Johnson papers

      he's not on the general radar - not with the Labour tax scandal and the new Tories wanting to buddy up with Starmer (on their terms). if anything, he's a irrelevant distraction from some real alarms

      Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.

      1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.

      My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.
