Scotland Yard press conference coming up . . . but they're defining the incident as "terror related" if that tells you anything.

Yep saw that too. The assumption is it was terrorist related until determined otherwise.

The UK police said they were treating it as a terrorist incident until they know otherwise


FT article on it

My point was no one should jump to conclusions. It's common that an attack at a govt building be considered a terrorist attack until proven otherwise. No official reports just yet from the police on motive or person.

Sorry bro your stats are wrong


2.7 million muslims in England, 1.2 live in London.

there aren't even 50,000 muslims in wales, there aren't even 100,000 in Scotland, there are not even 4,000 living in northern Ireland

so tell me again how there are not a lot of muslims living in London (whose mayor is a muslim BTW )

oh there's a lot in Birmingham, which as I told you they live in the centers of population which is why there is a population disparity when you look at Scotland, northern Ireland, and wales

my stats aren't wrong. i'm curious how you can live on the fricking island and argue such a non controversial and for my part irrelevant point.

Two deaths now, multiple 'catastrophic' injuries, but it seems that the upgrades to Parliamentary security in 2004 worked.

That's a lot for a country with only 60 or so million.

London is 8.5 million. I just brought this up to say "other people are not talking about refugees but are saying there are a lot of muslims in London"

that is such a non controversial statement, and one most people would agree with

i'm not saying they're bad, i'm not saying there should be fewer, I don't know, don't care. i'm just stating something very very very obvious

SCH is right though that London isn't the Muslim problem in Britain. The issues are Cardiff (where most of the UK's ISIS members come from) and Brum.

No longer constrained by freedom of movement in Europe, the government could try to make it third time lucky, arguing that the old broken target has become viable post-Brexit. The rules of mathematics mean that choice would depend on committing to sharp reductions across every form of immigration, both skilled and unskilled, and sharply reducing immigration from the Commonwealth and outside the EU as well as within it.

I wasn't making any point related to that


I just said LONDON. HAS. A. LOT. OF. MUSLIMS.

I said "hey you're both right, but I think they're talking about there being a lot of muslims and not talking about refugees"

but of course, someone sensing some kind of political point related to it can't concede something so obvious you would have to be a complete moron to disagree. so being that I don't think he's stupid (though kirk cousins thinks he is) I believe he's being obtuse. Why? don't know don't care.

there are a lot of muslims in London. peace, i'm out

You said greater London has 30% Muslims which is a flat out lie.

Ah, the quality of the Muslim in the UK. They love white people, don't they folks? This is like the Vietnam War, how do you tell the good from the bad, north from south, etc.
