Kombibuddie Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) London Bridge & Borough Market is one of the areas in London that I'd go out drinking when on a night out with the wife. About 100 yards down the road from where the van was crashed (outside the Barrowboy & Banker pub) there is a courtyard where an old coaching Inn is. The George Inn & a swanky bar are enclosed in a courtyard, where, there'd be no escape if these cunts had gone left instead of right. It would have been absolute carnage as it is usually rammed in that courtyard & only a 10 foot (if that) passage way to get out onto Borough High Street. There are loads of areas in central London (& in every town & city across the UK) that get absolutely rammed on weekend nights, the police won't be able to watch them all for ever. Hopefully, none us will ever find out if we have the courage to do something if ever caught up in a situation like this. Keep Safe Buds.

I have been involved in incidents where I have jumped in to help someone being beaten up and I have been in incidents where I have panicked and walked away from trouble. In the incident when I got involved, there was no emotion at all. I was in auto-pilot, zoned out and acting on pure instinct. There was almost no thought process at all. There wasn't time. If I had thought about it, I would have probably got out of the way. That is almost certainly the case for everyone who gets involved and is why I hate the use of the word "hero". There is nothing heroic or cowardly about people's reactions in such circumstances IMO. I remember getting particularly annoyed at that guy at Glasgow Airport who was dining out and making money on the attention he was getting.

My point was, hopefully none of us will find out (as you have) of how we'd react in such a situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, when you "jumped in" the people involved were only 5 years old, but we'll done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock them up, keep them off the streets. "Would you like a Chicken Tikka Abdul Hamsa" I think it's generally accepted Internment was a failure in NI and the greatest "Recruiting Sergeant" the IRA ever had. The inconsistency in standards is one of the frustrating aspects of the battle with terrorism - terrorists often claim the benefits of Human Rights while not offering them in response. Take Abu Quatada who clearly despised this country yet used it's Human Rights laws to defy deportation for 10 years. The reality is that if we don't maintain our higher standards we have lost the battle with ISIS, it will be used as an argument against us to radicalize young Muslims within the country making the situation worse and let's not discount the "thin end of the wedge" argument.
