This is breaking news, so details are currently scant. Looks like a major incident around the area of the UK Parliament today.

ETA Seems like a car hit about 5 people on Westminster Bridge. Reports of shootings and a police officer being stabbed in the grounds of Westminster.

All the MPs are locked in Westminster and parliament business has been suspended; why? I can guarantee that work has not been suspended on the other side of the river at St.Thomas Hospital. Those guys are under paid, under staffed and resourced, while the MPs across the river are sipping their sherries and 20 year old malts, recounting traumatic tales of the days events; all at the expense of the tax payer.

Terrible stuff! I'm glad the services dealt with it quickly.

We'll bounce back. We always do.

It's why terrorist will never win. :)

I wonder how stupid one has to be, to keep trying the same crap over and over, even though it actually changes nothing.

Because if they continue and a second incident happens the same day people will yell heads must roll, security is incompetent, they should have known blabla. So you quit for the day, have some folks look around real seriously and carry on next day. Best wishes to wounded.
