Some sort of brawl followed by gun fire..

Might ask for that to be taken down - it's basically a snuff film?

Guardian removed it from their rolling live coverage of the incident

I've disembedded it

Big shout out to this fella who not only risked his life to stop a terrorist attack but also had to dump his cocaine due to the impending police interview. Swings and roundabouts. #londonbridge pic.twitter.com/zY7z2V023M

It appears to have taken place at a criminal rehabilitation event at Fishmongers Hall. There are photos taken from inside the event shortly before the attack on social media.

Also one of the attendees took a narwhal tusk off the wall and went out onto the bridge to attack the perpetrator with it.

that's some steampunk shit right there

i literally posted earlier about the growing bloodlust of decadent middle england and how we can't be far off some sort of crim hunger games as entertainment

what will tip the football forums of the uk over the edge is if it turns out the two people this guy killed were paedos

NRA types saying Britishers can't defend themselves because guns and knives are illegal - we have fucking narwhal tusks you idiots.

These fellas are amazing. The terrorist has already killed 2 people, injured others and they chase him down with a whale tusk and a fire extinguisher. He’s wearing a suicide vest which they don’t know is fake.
Incredible. True heroes. #LondonBridge pic.twitter.com/0hduOInM9I

Which one is the convicted murderer?

The one without an improvised weapon apparently.

James Ford, 42, was jailed for life in 2004 for the murder of 21-year-old Amanda Champion, who was found strangled with her throat cut in Ashford, Kent, in July 2003.

A true hero.

'e only ever strangled 'is own people

The have-a-go strangler is British at least *wipes away tear of pride*

BREAKING: The Koko music venue on #Camden High Street, north-west London is ablaze.

The venue was undergoing a major transformation and was due to re-open in the spring this year.

Koko = Camden Palace iirc

that's what happens when you use Pimilco Plumbing on your refurb.

Any idea why these fires happen during refurbs? Glasgow School of Art, Cutty Sark...

Volatile flammable liquids used, can ignite with very little heat source, I've always heard.

usually combination of shite electricians, terrible site managers, penny pinching building companies imo. it's probably much more complex than that, but still a factor imo!

Yeah, overloading electrical circuits probably also a major factor.

Might be a good thread to use if it gets to the point London ILX folk need assistance with anything should they end up quarantined.

Not a bad idea but what kind of things?

Just thinking e.g. if someone can't leave the house but is running low on supplies and similar (businesses may still deliver but will be stretched).

bring me soup mfers

(is what i'll be saying itt if i have to self-quarantine)

Good idea but maybe use a specific thread for that? Every time I see this thread bumped I assume there's been a catastrophic fire or terrorist attack.

sometimes it's me hearing a funny sound tbf

"bring me soup mfers" (thread of urgent coronavirus quarantine requests shd need arise: london local)

emergency-specific thread already overrun with non-emergency quotidian chatter lol

ilx bring me soup and never change

Quietest exercise hour yet out there. I wonder if being able to go out multiple times has made people stop saving it up for a big post-work trip

Green Lanes was rammed yesterday, busiest I've seen it since lockdown began.

More than usual today a mile south of Stet - maybe the joggers all headed parkwards?

More than usual on the south bank, too.
