Bravery
« on November 29, 2019, 05:49:22 pm by scawsby steve »
Unbelievable bravery shown by those guys on London Bridge today; especially when you consider he was stabbing people, and had a fake explosive vest strapped to him.

The incident happened straight across the road from where I stood and ate my sandwiches last year before the league game at Charlton. Scary.

I’ve just seen a clip of a bloke fighting with the attacker on the floor before a copper drags him off and another police officer shoots the attacker (the footage ends just before the shot). From what I’ve seen, several men attacked him and held him down before police arrived. Absolutely amazing bravery shown.

Quite humbling.

All of us like to think we'd step up in those circumstances, but I suspect if we're honest, most of us would run like f**k.

No praise is high enough for someone who acts like they did.

Facing a nutcase with a knife must be one of the most frightening things to experience. Volunteering to do so in order to protect others deserves a medal.

All the people who were there that helped stopped this from being worse should be honoured by the queen or mayor of London as a minimum.

I wonder what the fallout would have been had the brave man killed him?

The hero who first attacked him was Polish - he was a chef at the conference the bloke was at.

I don't think foreign nationals can be given honours, only citizens of the former Empire, but I think he can be given the George Cross.

Roy Larner did the same the other year and received no honours at all. He was slaughtered by the PC press because he didn't fit in with the profile of the current 'agenda'.

How can a patriotic Englishman be a terrorist? If he was on the list then it just proves how screwed up this country is. The faceless do gooders have destroyed our home.

Because he's a threat to peaceful Muslims in this country?

Rubbish. He just says what he thinks. But you're not allowed to do that any more. How do you think we will all be treat when there is a muslim majority in Britain?

We don't know what they said to him to start it though do we? People who go out of their way to go on demonstrations should surely expect to come across people with opposing views.

Thank goodness we have some brave people and cops who know what they are doing.

I didn't realise two people had died until this morning and then learned the killer was on release from prison as a known terrorist with previous!!

So, given Duckenfield is being pursued for Hillsborough, should the judge(s) who released this terrorist be held to account??

It just shows what a soft touch we are when known terrorists are released back into society. The powers that be don't give a monkey's about the safety of Joe Public. It wouldn't have happened in China because they know how to deal with his sort.

Apparently he was one of eight of a terrorist cell that were released. Surely to rest of that group should be lifted pronto!

Be interesting to see what measures are in place to monitor this group now they are back in society.

I saw an ex-Met Police Chief Superintendent speaking on Sky News today. "We can't keep people in prison forever. They have to come back into society sometime". Why? Why should a dangerous, evil scumbag ever be released back into society?

Even worse was a statement by a political pundit last night that some people on Twitter have criticised the Police for heavy handedness, claiming that there was no need for them to kill the terrorist. I just wish these politically correct loonies would do us all a favour, and pack up their sh*t, and get the f*ck out of our country.

The law was change where these people had to be released and cannot be kept in jail indefinitely irrespective of how much danger they may pose. That’s why he was released.

That's right Gloster, and it needs changing back, no matter who wins the Election. This mustn't now become a political football.

The safety of all of us is at stake here.

The bloke who actually pinned the terrorist to the floor - before the police pulled him away - was a convicted murderer out on licence

I truly didn't think I could hold Johnson in lower esteem than I already do. But he's done it.

He was told last week that he couldn't go on the Marr show for an easy ride unless he agreed to be interviewed by Neil.

He's used this stabbing to ram through being invited onto Marr because "it's in the national interest".

Utterly disgusting.

Are you sure your wording it correct bst? The Guardian paper said that the bbc changed there mind due to it being in the public interest due to the terror attack, it never mentioned that boris used it to get on the show or have I missed that?

Bpool.

I.misread the article. You are correct. Thank you for correcting me. I take back my criticism of Johnson.

However, that raises some very serious issues on the judgement of the BBC. There's some perspective needed here. Horrendous as that attack was, there were only 2 people killed. 0.000003% of the population. Is that REALLY such a massive national crisis that it requires the PM to go on TV "in the national interest" less than a fortnight before a General Election?

Thank you bst, it’s a hard one if he didn’t go on and talk about it he would probably get slated if he did he would be accused of using it to his advantage so I’ll sit on fence and say it’s a bit of both
