that can't be right, a savage murder like that would be all over the rolling news

yeah it's a mystery why a remedial getting killed in crackhouse didn't get the same coverage as the execution of a soldier on a highstreet

About to go str8 thru the crimezone on a bus

God that's a lot of flowers

took some pics. feelin' *emotional*

secondary response has also had an element of 'something something tories' and jumping at rolling news using terms like 'muslim terror attack' for what could probably now (and probably pretty much straight away using the information) be fairly enough described as a terrorist (still discussing this term itt tbf) attack as a result of the assailants extremist muslim beliefs (which, again, pre-emptively, i agreearen't in any way fairly representative of broader islam any more than IRA attacks were representative of irishness)

Right but even in the eighties there weren't headlines about 'Irish Terror Attack!' - and this was a time when it would've been more plausible to claim that the Irish Constitution encouraged and authorised it. Not to say of course that there wasn't locking people up for the wrong accent etc - how'y're there the West Midland Serious Crime Squad, hope you're toasty in hell by now)

Was the term 'muslim terror attack' actually used? Because it seems unlikely any serious paper would go there; maybe the Express letting the mask slip maybe.

Unlikely

No, the assailants were said to be in 'Muslim dress'. They weren't.

Or as I call him, Cheshire twat.

Ah, I knew someone had used the 'T' word to describe him on this thread

Take your pick of offensive T words, of course - Tory or twat

that is such a retarded thing to get hung up about

it would be consequential if it transpired that they weren't jihadists

so the murder scene now looks somewhere between kensington palace gardens in 1997 and an england football international

also totally necessary and not remotely invasive photographs of the grieving family

Got to arm the citizens, Police are next to useless with events like these.....they can only arrive AFTER the event, just like the Cavalry.....now, if just ONE of those UK citizens ere legally armed........bam.......Lee Rigby might be alive today............

i need to stop clicking on DM links.

Saw about 150 flag-draped thugs marching through Soho this afternoon. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice of places to look for religious extremists, tbh.

seemingly some mish-mash skirmishes going on across EDL, anti-fascist protesters and police, quite difficult to work out the details from scattered twitter reports though.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/may/27/edl-protesters-blame-islam-woolwich-attack

Flags of St George fluttered and placards with messages such as "wool which 2013: no turning back" were held aloft.

that the edl are such boneheaded idiots is giving me little comfort tbh

I thought this was an odd story - a man goes on TV to say that MI5 attempted to recruit one of the Woolwich suspects and was arrested immediately afterwards under the Terrorism Act but unrelated to his comments in the interview.

A MAN has been arrested in Welling today on suspicion of conspiracy to murder Drummer Lee Rigby.

Met Police officers arrested the 50-year-old man in Upper Wickham Lane this afternoon.

they are probably wary that there is a cell and arresting everyone tangentially related

Either that or somone at the Met checked out your London realness thread.

I saw that interview, I was like .. "What???" .. as in "can he say that?"

Guess not..

they almost certainly did xp

residents of creekmouth be warned

It was announced yesterday afternoon an order has been imposed under Sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 stating the BNP march must be held between 1pm and 4pm.

Conditions also state it can only be held between Old Palace Yard and the Cenotaph in Whitehall, whereas the BNP initially planned to march between Woolwich Barracks and the Lewisham Islamic Centre.

The police have already warned anyone who flouts the order will be committing a criminal offence and could be arrested.

But taking to Twitter to address his 22,000 followers, Nick Griffin appeared to defy the police, saying: “Met Police being very obstructive.

“I am taking over negotiating with them directly.

“Ignore reports of march ban. See you there on Saturday.”

think I'll be joining one of the antifascist demonstrations, wish my skull luck.

don't you have anything better to do

a wide angle shot of a few hundred fat no surrender pleb attracting no attention would be preferable to the usual stramash

nah if I don't go I'll just sleep late instead. It matters less now that they're not allowed to directly zone in on the Lewisham mosque they were targeting, but it's fun to sometimes pretend that an actual left-wing exists in any notable way.

that sounds kind of unduly dismissive but i do think ignoring them would better reflect their marginal nature

nick griffin has 20k followers on twitter which is about what you'd expect for a big brother 5 contestant

you make it sound like there is some unspoken pact between opposing groupuscules to enhance each other's sense of reputational bigness

ha. I can appreciate ignoring the EDL cuz they're obviously just a bunch of degenerates who have no real purchase on the ~British psyche~, but I figure that along that scale towards BNP and eventually UKIP you get an extremism that, albeit marginal, begins to enter into the mainstream discourse, and even if everyone with actual power disagrees with it the mediation that occurs can be nothing but a swing in their direction. So it seems worthwhile to be actively saying and showing that what they're doing ain't on, try to cut their attempts at worming their ideologies into normality off at the root.

In 1977, Griffin went to Downing College, Cambridge, where he studied history, then law.[1] His affiliation with the National Front was revealed during a Cambridge Union debate, and his photograph was published in a student newspaper. He later founded the Young National Front Student organisation. He graduated with a second-class honours degree in law (2:2), and a boxing blue, having taken up the sport following a brawl in Lewisham with a member of an anti-fascist party.[9]

Inferring that he took up boxing after getting his arse handed to him.

tomorrow he shall smite the eternal foe and reconquer lewisham

even his t-shirt wants to punch him in the face

it's fun to sometimes pretend that an actual left-wing exists

wistful truth bomb

well I didn't make it cuz my sleep is a disaster but I suppose that saved me from getting arrested - Met Police have extended the timeframe of the BNP march but NOT the timeframe for demonstrating against it, so cue a flurry of section 14 arrests.

Young women dressed in fake fur were seen chasing doughty nationalist supporters down London's Whitehall as a large number of security forces in iridescent jackets looked on from police lines.

David Cameron has held crisis talks at Downing Street after being told of allegations of a sensational love affair which has potentially significant political implications for him.

This revelation is dynamite. None of us could believe it when we first heard it. Then we just thought, “What a complete mess”.’
The source added that, apart from the political implications, the revelation had caused ‘great personal distress to innocent parties’.
It is understood that the Prime Minister was told of the relationship - which does not involve anyone serving in the Cabinet - within the past few weeks.

I know it's the Mail and all, but I'm just wondering who it could be? Royals? Cable? Boris?
