TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Don't shoot the messenger, just reporting what BBC News are saying. I would hazard a guess that the Police will do anything to save calling it a terror attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) If it is terror related I don't think we will get know the full details. Libyan terrorist the news are saying Watching some news from just after it happened and seeing two air ambulance on the ground helping. About time these were were government funded the amount of lives they save. Edited June 21, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so trusting of the BBC nowadays too🤨 Falklands 82, told the Argies my sister Bn, 2 Para was advancing on Goose Green then told them that 2 & 3 Para marching onto Stanley. Years later my son fighting in Iraq, 2003, they announced to the world his unit was set to enter Basra. I could cite many others but they are just two that effect me personally. I would love the BBC disbanded. (Nothing against TC I know he was just posting what was said) Just now, figgy said: If it is terror related I don't think we will get know the full details.

Are they still staffed by volunteers? If so that's shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) First and foremost, thoughts are with those injured and their families/friends and the families and friends of those who were killed. A dreadful thing. This morning, the reports (heard reporter on R4 quoting police statement) - suspect is a Libyan who was 'known' to police having previously served time in prison for 'a minor offence'. An 'open mind' is being kept at present on motives. Edited June 21, 2020 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about them (air ambulance) being volunteers. I saw an advert for East Anglia Air Ambulance asking for donations claiming it cost £750,000 per month to run the service. That seems a lot of money for two helicopters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I've just seen some phone footage of the aftermath-I didn't seek it out but was shared by a friend. Grim-several persons laid out with at least 6 or 8 Police Officers doing CPR, de-fibbing etc-working dam hard to save lives. I can't fathom why this is not being treated as a terror related incident. I think that the Government will be reluctant to tag this as terror or race/religion inspired act in the current climate. We'll see what comes out in the wash. f.

Fuddster Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 £1500 per hour is the figure I understand to keep it operational. Worth their weight in gold as yesterday proved. f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
