Wonder if Diane Abbot, if she somehow, in some bizzare parallel universe obviously, became Home Secretary on Friday morning, would she do anything as monumentally fuckin stupid as send known radicalised Uk Moslems off to fight with jihadis in North Africa? ..and then cut police numbers and funding so that they and others (some of whom were publicaly self confessed jihadis and went on tv to advertise it) couldn't possibly be properly monitored and then went on to murder innocent members of the public? I'll grant you that's what the media perception of Abbott would have us beleive she'd be capable of, but with all this now in the public realm (obviously not being reported properly by the compliant media) having a go at her and Corbyn for their beliefs just smacks of being petty and snide, and completely misses the point about how unbeleiveably and possibly criminally incompetent May has been as both Home Secretary and PM. The choices on Thursday are admittedly abysmally poor and are being brought into stark detail during this horrific wave of attacks the country is experiencing.but there's nothing to suggest that given the chance Jezza and Di won't finally grow up, leave the 6th form common room and make a decent go of it. Corbyn's demeanour and stature have grown hugely and visibly in the the last month. He's beginning to grasp right from wrong. Knocking him for old pronouncements is the stuff of the daily mail. After the learning curve of the last four weeks where he's stood tall and got almost everything spot on on every issue that even most of the preveiously hostile media have had to say "well, he's got a point there", all the while that spineless bitch has basically hidden away behind sound bites and underlings who are every bit as poor as anything on the Labour front bench. May called this election basically as another Brexit referendum. Even before Manchester and the events at the weekend that was out the window due to the Tory manifesto, seemingly jotted down on to the back of 20 Regal. If she's returned the EU council will publicaly slap her so hard in the face during negotiations she'll have to go running into the arms of the Donald, who will want the NHS on a plate for his US private healthcare chums in return for other favourable trade deals, which he'll likely go back on as he, like the EU, hold all the aces. Id rather take my chances with Red Jezz and Mad Di and have a softer business friendly Brexit negotiated by ex attorney general Kier Starmer QC than see the most incompetent senior politician in my lifetime drive us off the end of a cliff. I still iexpect the Tories to win like, just had to get all that off my chest

Little grumpy fucker with specs. Quite successful as a manager earlier in his career, think he was Dutch national team manager too?No idea if his fuckin name like

That's true about the IRA, but the bishopsgate bomb was a truck bomb which had to be driven into position, either past the scene of last nights atrocity or down through shore ditch and round the old street roundabout. Checkpoints would've stopped that, and after Westminster 3 Asians in a van probably wouldn't have bothered with that tactic again. This isn't a criticism of the security services, but we should re instate then round the CoL, all around "ceremonial London" and at all Thames crossings on both sides. Put cameras on them too, take pictures of all moving round that area.

As NJS said the police are armed where necessary. I posted earlier when the IRA bombed bishopsgate in the 90s there were armed police sentry points on London Bridge, the north side of which is the bottom of bishopsgate. Easy to say with hindsight but if they'd be reinstated there after Westminster the outcome may have been different last night. There are extra measures we can take outside of the security services like this but it looks like we're standing on our dicks a bit at the moment.

The police in this country not being armed per se and the tightest gun control laws in the developed world come from the same starting point in this country iyam.

Course the other side of that coin is how many would've died if the terrorists had been armed themselves? Edit: if armed with firearms

Here's a good reason not to vote Tory....

Got a chance of a flight to Gran Canaria at the end of the month for £100, never been there though, looking for recommendations for two 40 somethings with no kids who still enjoy a bit of a lash up.....looking for a resort with a bit of life but not full on teenage rampage tastic...

They're doing Estrella Galicia in our local Waitrose, by far the best Iberian beer iyam... The current Mrs PL has also made herself some mojito...needs a bit of work on presentation, but shes shitfaced on a glass and a half

Its happening in Moslem communities all over Europe, most worryingly in Bosnia Herzogovina where the relative poverty of the Muslim population leaves them extreamly vulnerable to the vast wealth of the Saudi backed hadrassas. I read a horrifying article on it a while back, reckon there's thousands of poor Muslim kids being trained for jihad right on western Europes doorstep.

Sounds like she's considering internment if she's PM on Friday morning. . Playing up to Hokins and her acolytes and the best recruiting tool isis could possibly have....."but at least we'd be doing something"...

After the IRA bombed bishops gate in the CoL in the mid nineties I remember being stopped in my van by armed police at sentry boxes at all main entry points into the city including London Bridge. Obviously I don't know whether this would have made a blind bit of difference to last nights horrifying incident but it may be a start to actually do something instead of waiting around for the next attack. Reports of folk in bars fighting back with glasses and chairs when these fuckers charged in last night. Bit of a cliche to say and possibly inappropriate but for me that's us, that's the spirit of ordinary British folk. In my parents lifetime we've had the blitz and a quarter of a century of the IRA. We're not easily cowed by psychopaths. Not that any of that is any consolation to the victims and anyone connected to them this morning

Born again/renaissance CT= same old wolfy both re appeared at roughly the same time, it's like charisma Dave account v comedy Dave account

Yeah she watches that too..

Yeah it was a bit "red in tooth and claw".. good film I thought though. The film was quite sympathetic to him but yeah, he plainly took his own life, accidentally or not, via a mixture of pig headedness and stupidity.

Its the only thing I've seen him in tbh. One of the current Mrs PL's favourites though. She often confuses attractiveness with acting ability

King Arthur legend of the sword.. Some nice ideas and fabby cgi ruined by just about the worst script in the history of cinema, fuck all for Hunnan to act against with that parcel of shit. Jude Law does OK as the evil King, he does good evil. A mate at work loaned me Into the Wild, which completely passed me by at the cinema. Great turn by Emile Hirsch as a college kid who turns his back on society, part road trip, part back to nature type thing, good cameos from Hurt,Keener and Vaughn.
