In the news

Reports of a man with a gun and shots heard, but don’t know how accurate those reports are.

Multiple witnesses on social media reported seeing people running away from the station and described panic in the area.

We were in selfridges when there was a rush of hysterical people through the shop and out onto the street, no idea what was going off it was just people panicking and ducking down

Police say no evidence of shots or suspects- so maybe it was just hysteria?

So reports came from selfridges and carnaby st, and oxford circus. How odd.

A tiger which had escaped Friday from a circus in Paris was
"neutralised" by circus personnel and was now dead, police said.

Firefighters had been called around 1700 GMT by people who saw the
animal in the 15th district of the French capital.

"Neuatralised by circus personnel"

Shudder.

Why?

"Neuatralised by circus personnel"

Set upon by clowns?

Squirted in the face with a lapel-flower, obvz.

The circus police probably turned up and fifteen old bill climbed out of the car.

Lethal blow from a custard pie to the face

Should have just set a trap-eze...
(Sorry)

Sister’s friend was on the platform at Oxford Circus and said there was an argument/scuffle and then someone just shouted “he’s got a gun” and everyone panicked and ran. Not sure if that was the beginning or maybe even unrelated to the argument on the platform and someone was reading the news on their phone but it was her impression that it all kind of started from that.

There was no gun

If only there had been a good guy without a gun present.

At the time I was trying to work out the centre of the event but there were reports from 3 different areas. Now we can see it was one small event that spread panic over quite a wide area.

Not in the news. According to Boardman, The Sunday Times asked him to write this piece then declined to publish it without telling him why:

Anyone having issues agreeing with this shitlord? It’s possibly one of the best trolls of the yearhttps://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-5117751/amp/Cycle-helmets-lives-risk.html

Clear and succinct

Haha, Hitchens is a reknowned contraversialist, his shtick is to try to sound superiour by disagreeing with everyone who's listening, so I guess this article is perfect for the mail.

My irony meter just started giving off sparks.
