Just watching Skynews now. Mixed reports, with mentions of stabbing and people having been run over. Awful.
There is a second incident at Borough Market being reported now.

It's frightening . It's my son's girlfriends 21st today and they were supposed to be up there, but decided to say local because I have a stinking cold and didn't want to have my grandson overnight and risk him catching it .
Knowing all my family is safe is a blessing but my heart aches once again for the people caught up in this 😟
There seems to be two foci - London Bridge and Borough market .

Stay safe Londoners - and all of us.
Fundamentalism is sickening.

Yes, we got a report of a vehicle striking pedestrians. Also something on London Bridge. This is all tied to a white van ... severe injuries.
Three underground stations have been closed.

There's all sorts of rumours going around local groups here ( just outside London ) but I don't really want to repeat them without verification .

Makes me so scared that other areas of London are vulnerable whilst 3 areas are being deluged with police . My dd and I were just talking about this. She reminded me that Ariana Grande's benefit concert is tomorrow. I said there would be a TON of security there and she said "but doesn't that just leave the rest of the country vulnerable?" Do you know how they're providing security for the concert? Especially now with these incidents this evening... |

They're not going to discuss the detail but there has been reassurance that security is as strong as it can be for the concert . I'm sure those f***tards are not going to strike where they know security is heightened . |

This is tragic. Makes me so angry they're targeting innocent people. I wish all U.K. Peas the best and hope these random cowardly attacks stop!

UK peas and the world - I am so sorry that you are the targets of terrorists. Please understand that most of us want to give you strength, fortitude and friendship. We do not believe that a US travel ban is the only answer to the world's problems.
In other words, we stand by you, and please ignore the words of our fearful leader.

The "good" news is that Metropolitan Police now say the Vauxhall stabbing in unrelated.
The bad news is that the other two have been confirmed as terrorism.

This is awful. You have been hit so hard over there. Stay safe.
I mentioned in the other thread, that DD is heading to London next month to spend 6 weeks doing research.

I've always thought of the UK & London as one of the "safe places". Unfortunately it really hasn't been considered a safe place since the 2005 terrorist bombings. |
