It may or may not be a deliberate attack on pedestrians - in time, we will probably know. For now, all we seem to know is that pedestrians have been hit by a vehicle. That happens many times every day.

Are you really that ****ing stupid :wanker:

CNN seems to have more up to date coverage than the BBC not that this should be entertaining viewing.

BBC are only reporting confirmed facts, seems a lot of other news companies are reporting the rumours.

So how do we deal with this? I have no idea right now. Frightening.

Police are now searching for three suspects, a BBC reporter at the scene says.

He says there are also reports that some people have been stabbed.

The priority for the police is now to get people - many whom where enjoying a nightout in central London - out of the area.

The police cordon is being moved further and further out, our reporter adds.

In that case it sounds like just an incident for your good old fashioned traffic bobby.

Few more people now coming out with it. Forgive me. I just struggle with the notion that people are straight on the phone to news organisations at a time like this. I get it with the journalists. That's their job. But the passers by: either get out of the way, or help somebody, FFS. Don't stand there getting your phone out to video it, or dialling the hotline to Sky or the BBC to breathlessly inform them that you've heard from other people that they heard this or that might have happened.

Yup, they've now got a witness from a restaurant in borough street. I mostly agree with you. Though I think sometimes journalists are more interested in their (or their paymasters') narrative, or more often more interested in being first, than making sure they are reporting the truth.

Daily Mirror (yeah I know) reporting that 3 people may have had their throats cut.

Blimey.

Hopefully it's bo**ocks.

The BBC hold the long standing tradition of waiting for two corroborated sources. As a result, the others are often ahead of the game.

Completely agree. Similar to that heartless ******* who started filming immediately after the Shoreham air disaster as people were dead or dying in their cars.

I really don't understand what drives these people. Are people so empty inside that getting 5 minutes of fame because of a tragedy is somehow desirable.

The only thing we can do is to just carry on doing what we want to do.

I think he was trying to make the point that it could have been an "innocent" road accident (rather than a deliberate attack) which unfortunately happen quite often.

Allthough this now seems unlikely

First job of a government is to protect its citizens. It is currently failing.

Gents (and ladies)

There is enough shithousery going on in this world at the moment, without us lot adding to it. Disagreeing with somebody's opinion on NSC does not justify hurling abuse at them, so keep it civil please.

In summary: be nice to each other. Thanks.

Journalists at the scene at London Bridge have been removed from the area by armed police.

Something happening in Vauxhall as well...

Hugo Rune · Jun 3, 2017

Now there is an incident in Vauxhall.

Tasteless.
