Just checked Saffa websites.

Jacob Zuma isn't on a state visit to the UK.
Neither is Robert Mugabe.

DAMN!

That looks wrong. Can see Westminster Bridge from the shots on Sky and it's not in lockdown.

Assume this is Westminster Bridge?

Perhaps not though

Fair point.

Unless the words "rat" or "weasel" recently became a derogatory word. In which case, your comment will be disgusting.

Sky news just shows a SUV on the pavement - could just be some woman trying to park

Ex Polish foreign minister saying he saw a car mow 5 people down.

Eyewitness overlooking commons

"Thick set man holding something walked into courtyard, he was challenged by policeman and a policeman went down on the floor, then the "thick set man" was shot by plain clothes officers.

Apparently some guy with a knife charged through the gates. A couple of people seen lying on the ground with emergency services attending.

Policeman stabbed by assailant and then the assailant shot by plain clothes cops - presumably the car incident proceeded this.

A few Tweets saying "mowing down" car driver shot too - not sure if reliable

I look forward to a cover up. I wonder if they will make the effort to try and be original.

Pics showing Westminster bridge is, in fact, on lockdown.

SamShark · Post by **SamShark** » Wed Mar 22, 2017 4:14 pm

Is the car driver the same guy who then stabbed the policeman?

Confused.
