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.

(name removed as every newspaper has just done so)

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.

    • I’m not sure home delivery will replace physical supermarkets. I got the impression that they’re generally loss- making for the retailers and they’d much prefer to encourage customers back to the shops. I read somewhere that the typical Ocado order was around £100 but costs Ocado £120 to fulfill. It works for M&S because they have roped Ocado into a contract where Ocado carry the bulk of the loss.
    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.
