Local MLAs horrified by UK terror attack

Car used in Wednesday’s attack in London

(CNS): Members of the Legislative Assembly briefly stopped their political wrangling yesterday as they came together for a moment of silence at the premier’s request to show their empathy for the victims of Wednesday’s terror attack in London. “We express, on behalf of all members of this House, the concern and horror,” the premier stated as news came in about the murder of three people*, including a police officer, and the shooting death of the attacker, Khalid Masood (52), in Westminster.

Premier Alden McLaughlin asked for a moment of silence as an expression “of our sadness over what has transpired and our empathy and solidarity with the United Kingdom, Parliament, the people affected and indeed the citizens of London and more broadly the UK”.

Flags at the Government Administration Building in Elgin Avenue were lowered to half-mast Thursday as a mark of respect.

The incident close to the Houses of Parliament began yesterday afternoon when the British-born man, who has now been identified by the London police, drove a rental car across Westminster Bridge, mowing down dozens of pedestrians before he crashed the car into the coach gates at the Palace of Westminster – the British seat of government. As he got out of the car, Masood stabbed an unarmed police officer working on the gate before he was quickly shot by armed officers in the area.

In addition to the murder of PC Keith Palmer, Aysha Frade and US citizen Kurt Cochran, around 40 people were injured, some of them seriously, including a woman who was literally tossed from the bridge into the Thames during the carnage.

Police arrested eight people in London and Birmingham Thursday. They have stated that Masood was the subject of investigation many years ago but was not on the authorities’ radar in recent years, though he has some old weapon and assault convictions.

He was born in Kent and is believed to have been living in the West Midlands recently. Although there is no evidence that he travelled to Syria or has been engaged with or radicalized by ISIS, the Islamist fundamentalists claimed him as one of their “soldiers” Thursday.

*Since CNS posted this story, the London police have said that a fourth victim, a 75-year-old man, died on Thursday evening.

    How you fix it (?) … Promote more secular, and objective thinking from a young age with the hope that one day we will relegate ‘ALL’ religious teachings to nothing more than mere mythology.

    I’m posting this from the UK where last night I attended a concert by the Royal Marines Band in the Royal Albert Hall. In London there’s a very simple attitude to people who engage in acts like this – f*** ’em. They’re not going to be allowed to disrupt people’s lives.

    So sad for the families. I hope the U.K. and the E.U. take another look at this human right issue. As long as criminals believe they can hurt people and surpress their victim’s rights, they will always infringe on law abiding citizens. Kudos to the U.K. Police, one less ISIS garbage to feed in prison.

    This is what a world with open borders gets you. Brexit is the best thing to happen to the UK in a very long time!

    CNS: Again. The attacker was born and raised in the UK. Bans, stricter immigration control, Brexit would not have made any difference to this tragic event. Read some actual news to find out what is going on, not your Facebook page.

      Hey CNS,

      Give this a read then tell me I’m wrong!

      CNS: 1) The author is a horrible man who has written some truly awful things. As with other topics, he has made many broad assumptions largely based on his reactionary leanings (like all Trumpettes). The fact that some of the points he brings up do require discussion in no way means that we should accept his bile as a whole. 2) It’s the Daily Mail. 3) Most actual terrorism experts say that Trump’s policies will be a boon to recruitment of radical Islam.

        No its not 10.14-
        It’s a result of many more years of the West propping up shady dictatorships and royal families who took all the oil wealth themselves whilst repressing and killing their own people. When those “leaders” get overthrown there is nothing left-no jobs, even less money than before, perhaps a civil war and a sense of uselessness.
        At that time old Johny ISIS pops his head up and says-“here you go boys, we pay a good living wage, and a journey guaranteed to Heaven as a martyr.” , which even though it goes against the teachings of Islam means that when you have nothing, your reasoning starts to slip. Add in that when you have seen your family and country destroyed, and you know that ultimately the West’s greed for oil is where this all started, then I can see why they do it. I don’t agree with it at all because it is wrong and it is going nowhere, but I see why it happened.
        Also the UK, France, Spain etc with their colonial pasts mean they are still tied to a lot of those countries-the UK for example to Pakistan, Afghanistan, large parts of the middle east and africa. Hell, those powers even drew up the borders to split up tribes across those borders so they could divide and rule better. It was always going to come home to roost at some point. It has.

          IS, Daesh, ISIS or ISIL are the product of the deposing of Saddam Hussain and the destruction of the government of Iraq by Bush and Blair. This odious group is run by his former chiefs of staff and disaffected soldiers. The whole myth of some kind of radical religious group is just that, a myth. Its a bunch of pissed off Baathists who have recruited thousands of jihadists to fight their war for them, as did the Afghans, Chechens, Libyans, Iranians and every other tin pot regime that is threatened.
          By no means was Gadhaffi propped up by the west, neither was Assad, both of which were supplied and courted by the USSR/Russians, as are most of the worlds tyrannies, with the notable exception of Saudi Arabia.

          To simplify the wests reliance on oil as the cause of middle eastern strife is quite ridiculous. The Sunnis and Shias have been slaughtering each other and anyone else who disagrees with their Stone Age mentality for centuries. Iran and Iraq fought a long and ultimately futile war for years without the wests direct involvement, and Afghanistan has been at war for ever!
          Pakistan was part of India and was established from the religious divide between Hindus and Muslims, not simple colonialism. After WW2, Mountbatten sought a solution to the power sharing issues and continuous conflict between the religions, partitioning north west India into an independent country.
          Since independence, India has been a loyal member of the Commonwealth and a friend of the west, unlike Pakistan who continues to forment discord amongst Muslims around the world.
          Their problem is the same as the rest, they haven’t got the liberal memo that tells us all that Islam is a religion of peace. Perhaps it might be if they would stop killing each other and innocents abroad.
          Pakistan gained independence in August 1947, India gained its independence the day after.

          If the west is guilty of anything, it is for enabling these people to afford the weapons that they use to repress and kill their own people, by trading their natural resources, (not just oil) on the world market.
          Contrary to liberal thinking, we in the west will never convert countries run on tribal, caste or ethnic superiority to our democratic systems. To imagine we can is delusional and a complete waste of time and lives, something that the US and the UK is finally starting to realise.

          Open borders are a serious problem, to deny that cheap travel hasn’t enabled once isolated regions to spread their violent religions and culture is obviously wrong, as is the premise that these jihadists are just pissed off due to historic colonialism.
          These morons hate the west because they are religious bigots, espousing their poisonous bile in denunciation of our way of life and religious freedoms, not envy at our reliance on oil.
          The monster that committed those acts on Wednesday wasn’t an Iraqi jihadi, he was a product of our failed justice system and social immorality. He was quite simply a mixed race loser who found Islam to be the father he never had, he was also a violent drug abuser and wife beater who was more akin to a street thug than a soldier of war. What exactly did he have to be disillusioned about, he went to a middle class school, grew up in a beautiful part of south east England and apparently left school as a ‘good bloke’?

          No, the apologising for violent religions and cultures has to stop, we must control, (not close) our borders to stop the importation of those who would do us harm. But most of all, as 7/7 and last week repeatedly teaches us, we must deal with the religious and cultural intolerance demonstrated by some Muslims from within, they must be forced to integrate into our culture by learning English and by stopping the immigrant enclaves that have grown throughout the UK and most of the western world.

          However, none of this would have stopped this particular animal, three 9mm bullets took care of that. But like many others, this clown was known to police and the legal system and should have been stopped years ago, but the liberals would have us believe that he deserved a second, third and fourth chance to redeem himself.

          How many chances did he give those poor victims on Wednesday?

            Your post is proof that similar to radical Islam, Eurocentrism is a dangerous plague of the mind.

            Awesome.

            Btw, Dylan Roof and Anders Breivik were fully White-race losers who both had fathers yet, between them, racked up a far greater body count than the recent terrorist of a different complexion.

            I trust you have as comprehensive a breakdown for the growing rise in western / White terrorism as you do for the Middle-Eastern and Islamic variant?

      The only extremists you need to worry about are your MLA’s for NS and EE, they are the true enemy within, everyone else just wants to work for their pay.

    What kept them? All these government entities around the world need to be seen to be on the same page.
    We are still waiting for the press to actually call them out on their fakery.
    You may like the noose of globalism tightening around your sorry neck, but I DON’T.
    I had you tagged for more. I was wrong.
