Neither is Robert Mugabe.

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
Re: Incident outside Parliament
Unless it's a bullshitter, fairly solid sounding witness describing car "mowing down" a number of people
Re: Incident outside Parliament
Ex Polish foreign minister saying he saw a car mow 5 people down.
Re: Incident outside Parliament
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.

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

Remainers trying to prevent article 50 trigger?
Re: Incident outside Parliament
Policeman stabbed by assailant and then the assailant shot by plain clothes cops - presumably the car incident proceeded this.
Re: Incident outside Parliament
Police stabbed, attacker shot in return. Within "Parliament Estate".

Re: Incident outside Parliament
A few Tweets saying "mowing down" car driver shot too - not sure if reliable
Re: Incident outside Parliament
I look forward to a cover up. I wonder if they will make the effort to try and be original.
Re: Incident outside Parliament
Pics showing Westminster bridge is, in fact, on lockdown.
Re: Incident outside Parliament
Is the car driver the same guy who then stabbed the policeman?
Confused.
