In the news

@Bad_Science what's the inside scoop? Hope you're alright.

Early reports indicate the car hit people, then the driver of the car got out, was seen to be armed with a knife and was shot by police.

Hope all are ok.

Apparently a policeman was stabbed and the assailant shot and being resuscitated.

So many potentially inappropriate comments being suppressed around the country now.

Pick your least favourite politician, write the tweet, delete it again.

Brussels attack 1 year ago today...

Peter Walker reporting one person appears to have been killed but unsure if officer or attacker.

Pretty graphic images on the Metro website. Probably one to avoid.

Reports that the police cordon is being rapidly expanded so probably best to check your travel plans if they go near the area.

upgraded to "not a white guy".

Nick Robinson on BBC is suggesting that a group of French teenagers were on Westminster Bridge and were some of those hit by the car.

Poor fucking French, they seem to be involved in every terror attack at the minute. Hope Marine Le Pen doesn't try to make political capital out of this.

Sounds like the police officer has died.

yeah, all tube lines are down too according to TFL

*edit this now seems to be not all but most of central london of course.

link? webpage doesn't seem to be updated.

Peter Walker (Guardian) is speculating otherwise for various reasons.

TFL's twitter is suggesting trains are running through but not stopping

Yeah I got that from the Guardian live updates but via a Mail journalist's Twitter. Probably (hopefully) complete shite seeing as it's the Mail.

Can't remember what article I read it on but its probably changed now.

Think I read assumed Officer being covered up unfortunately.

An intruder, described by a witness as 'middle-aged and Asian'...

choice words from Daily Mail, why am I not surprised or offended, you cnuts..

ffs we live a stone's throw from parliament (millbank) My step daughter school nearby (fortunately with us) and step son works nearby (fortunately okay)

But the situation is totally :(((

As attacker had a knife, and cops have body-armour and guns, would hazard a guess that the dead guy is the attacker.

Edit - Graun now reporting a woman has died, unfortunately.

imagine being this guy tho.

Westminister stn is closed

Seems like a good time to repost this.

Anything for the gram.

WOW, WAC

General all round arsehole Tommy Robinson is already down there spouting nonsense at anyone who will film him
