Re: Terrorist attacks in London
I was thinking about that poor couple who came out of retirement to foster the two terror suspects from Syria/Iraq. They were very brave to take them in. Me, I just have to see a dark bearded youth with a rucksack and I skedaddle.
Could they have been part of that contingent that were supposed to be children, when they were obviously adults.

Re: Terrorist attacks in London
If you are a level 1/2 public order trained police officer you will spend much of your duty time on general patrol. If you are then called upon to perform public order duties you will have to change into your public order gear. To wear this on top of your day to day police uniform would be uncomfortable. This is especially so in the Met where Bernie Two Dads insisted on a collar and tie uniform ,unlike a lot of county forces who wear a polo shirt combat pants combo. The officers filmed ,if indeed this is genuine footage, could have been changing into suitable clothes for under their public order kit

@ PMR - I don`t think any of the British police wear army (camouflage) combat trousers like the fellow in the film put on. Never seen any but I could easily be wrong.
Thought this was funny though

A reminder of this story with the mention of alleged bombers who had been foster "children".

Don't know yet if terrorist attack or accident, but this is breaking news..
Natural History Museum crash: People hit by car
Several pedestrians have been injured after a car hit people near the Natural History Museum in London, police say.
The Metropolitan Police said one person had been detained following the incident in Exhibition Road in South Kensington.
A BBC reporter at the scene said she had been told by police the injuries were minor.
Police said inquiries are under way to establish the circumstances and any motive.
A Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister is "being kept up to date on events".
BBC reporter Chloe Hayward was leaving the Natural History Museum as the incident happened.
"I could see a car diagonally across the road, looking like it was going into one of the boulders on the side of the road, and I could see a crowd of people around what was clearly one or two people on the pavement," she said.
She added there were now armed police at the scene.
"We have had lots of police coming onto the scene, helicopters above, and I can see an ambulance which is definitely having someone put in, but it isn't clear how bad that injury is."
An eyewitness who was walking to the Science Museum on the same street, said: "When waiting for the light, we heard what I thought was gunshots and saw a car drive over the pavement. We just ran. My friend dived on the floor and cut her hands.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "When it calmed down we walked back to where we'd been and saw a gentleman on the floor being restrained by police."
Connor Honeyman, from Essex, who was in the queue for the museum, said: "We heard a horrible thudding noise and a car engine. Everyone started running and screaming inside.
"We ran in, everyone was following us, and then all the security guards ran out and they closed the main entrance. There was much confusion before the police got there."

Re: Terrorist attacks in London
This has actually freaked me and I do try to remain calm when these incidents happen. It's just that I was there a few weeks back with some friends and it's putting me off going anywhere in Central London. I know it is still to be confirmed what the nature of the incident was but it doesn't appear to be a person who suffered a medical problem behind the wheel.

I suppose it could have been a drunk driver.
Thankfully there are no fatalities this time.

Indeed Freedom . Being treated as a road traffic accident and not terror related. As you say, luckily no fatalities

Sounds like this was a hoax... although the police did receive 'numerous reports'

Hoaxes can be as effective as the real thing when it comes to disruption, with fewer risks

It shows how panicky people can be and who can blame them.
