I just got in from work so hadn't seen the news yet so I've been catching up - shocking.
My heart goes out to all of the affected families.

We had a similar incident here a few weeks ago where a guy drove his car down a main footpath in the city centre and killed 6 people including a 3 month old baby, turns out he was just an idiot on a rampage for some reason (still not exactly clear why...I suppose it will come out in the trial) but seemingly not terrorist related.

I saw Trump's son was quick to get in on the act:

“You have to be kidding me?!” Mr. Trump tweeted on Wednesday afternoon, as details of the attack — which left at least four dead and 20 injured — and its toll continued to unfold. “Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan.”

Mr. Trump, the oldest son of President Trump, used his tweet to call attention to an article from last September in The Independent, a British newspaper, that described Mr. Khan’s reaction to the bombing in New York City’s Chelsea neighbourhood.
Mr. Trump badly mischaracterized the London mayor’s remarks. Mr. Khan did not describe terrorism as “part of living in a big city,” as if bombings and shootings were an inescapable fact of life. He said that terrorism preparedness, including providing sufficient support to the police, was “part and parcel of living in a great global city.”

“That means being vigilant, having a police force that is in touch with communities; it means the security services being ready, but it also means exchanging ideas and best practice,” Mr. Khan said in a video interview published by The Evening Standard, another British paper. (For the record, Mr. Khan did say the victims of the Chelsea bombing were in his “thoughts and prayers.”)

It seems Donnie Jr's comprehension level is about the same as his father's.

But WTF does he need to tweet this in the middle of a live event for anyway? - just to be a smartarse I presume.

Dear British Peas,

I am saddened by your losses and by those who would destroy your peace for their own unreasonable "beliefs". I hope your leaders work to heal the nation and move on in strength, If anyone can do it, it is the British.

My first thought was the same. Lowlife. The apple sure doesn't fall far from the tree does it.

An update on this story was the first thing on our minds when we switched on media this a.m; as usual, the Brits in a crisis exhibit quiet heroism. Non-dramatic, bracing, unifying messages from those in authority.

Our thoughts are with you.

Came back to add I agree on the lowlife. Still no condolences expressed, to my knowledge. What a peachy family.
