It's shameful that we live in a time where people's first reaction to seeing someone in trouble is to get a camera phone out instead of seeing if they need help.
Gun shots outside Parliament: Police shoot assailant following car attack on Westminster Bridge
- Thread starter Untied
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
The attacker and the police officer who were stabbed are both in a bad condition. Also reports of someone ending up in the Thames and at least one other seriously injured.
Ffs. Yeah, BBC just speaking to someone who said he saw 3 bodies, one in the water.
Hello have you heard of Donald Trump?
Kay Burley on the scene, it's about to get real shitty.
5 minutes or less before she's questioning what role the attacker's sex life had on their actions today.
Not all of the footage is like that. A lot of the time there's not a lot the people can do, and the Police are actively asking for as much footage as possible to aid the investigation so it can be helpful. It's not like they're stood over a dying person filming their last breaths rather than helping.
I wish MPs and Lords would stop tweeting about exactly what the police and security people are doing/where they're being taken etc. They're basically providing detailed intel on the security team's response plan in the event of an attack.
Party of French schoolchildren involved say the BBC?
Yeah, that's fecking ridiculous
Yeah that's dumb. Have they not watched the first season of Homeland?
Whats the reddit thread link?
Tbh it's being documented by rolling TV news anyway.

These guys today carrying on the good work of the IRA?
In fairness I think that dude in the video posted earlier was on the phone to the emergency services as he was filming?
So 4-chan.

One dead so far apparently but others with "catastrophic" injuries.
Sky News now saying 1 woman has died and a number of catastrophic injuries.
St. Thomas's Hospital say one woman has died and others with catastrophic injuries.
What the BBC said as well
BBC refers to a news agency which has reporters at St. Thomas hospital. A woman has died and others have suffered 'catastrophic injuries'.
May the woman RIP and the others survive and have speedy recoveries.

Sky News has just lost my interest for the day:
Presenter: "We are going to show you some sensitive images now. This is a serious incident, and we feel you need to see the reality of events."

You read about it happening it in other places but it feels so surreal when it happens in a place you live and you have friends near by
Press Association seem to have spoken to a junior doctor.
Yeah agreed. I work just over the river from Westminster and wife works in Victoria. Is somewhat surreal.You read about it happening it in other places but it feels so surreal when it happens in a place you live and you have friends near by
Not sure why news outlets need to use the term 'mowed down'. Just seems excessive and paints a vivid picture that you don't really need.
thanks buddy!
'Ran over' sounds singular to me, whereas 'mowed down' portrays multiple people being deliberately hit. And it's nice and short, so handy for headlines.
Yes, true. I've never seen this number of police and ambulances around.You read about it happening it in other places but it feels so surreal when it happens in a place you live and you have friends near by
This is horrific, one dead and some with catastrophic injuries.
Car with a suspect parcel in, it like watching something from a film.
London Eye on lock down, and Westminster, Downing Street.

"We believe this story is too upsetting to transmit. We only do so tonight with that proviso." - Brass Eye, 16 years ago.
Sensationalism sells.
You can't really have a singular of 5 people ran down though or ran over. Mowed down just makes it seem video gamey and unnecessary. Like when you say somebody was butchered, it's unnecessary and just creates too vivid an image.
