'Van hits pedestrians' on London Bridge in 'major incident'

[7_Sorrows]

You had your little Kathy Griffin moment on this one, but were quickly bailed out by Trump making your gaffe pale in comparison.

I expect most people who commented on Trump’s tweets would be far, far happier if Trump, by making commentst that were more Presidential, had not precipitated the world of responses.

The problem is the democrats lost, have no power or message. The only way they can unite is their hate for Trump.

ok so you obviously know something that I do not know. Please provide me the facts that you have so I can be educated.

I already did.
Just go to the Mayor of London’s twitter page to see what else besides Trump’s bit quote, he has said. Be sure also to look at the interview in which “do not be alarmed” was spoken to understand what he was saying was should not be seen as a cause of alarm.

From former British Ambassador to the United States, Christopher Meyer: “Let me be diplomatic. Trump makes me puke.”

I say it is time to have a new British Ambassador to the United States

He literally attacked London’s Mayor with his tweets. A city reeling from another Radical Islamic terrorist attack and the POTUS piles on the hatred. I pray that the good people of England realize he doesn’t speak for the majority of Americans.

No, he did not “literally” attack him.

I think by now we all know he was referring to extra police presence.

My question is that DVD alluded to the President suggesting the Mayor somehow “commended” the attacks. I have not read any of that. So I am asking for a statement which that happened. I can not find it.

I have not said that, I checked my post; I’m not seeing how your could have inferred that.

Why?

Either Mr. Trump misunderstood what Mr. Khan had said or distorted it. During an interview shown on the BBC, the mayor said he was “appalled and furious that these cowardly terrorists would target” innocent civilians and vowed that “we will never let them win, nor will we allow them to cower our city.”
He went on to say that residents should not worry as they encounter more police officers patrolling the streets.
“Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days,” Mr. Khan said. “No reason to be alarmed. One of the things, the police, all of us need to do, is make sure we’re as safe as we possibly can be. I’m reassured that we are one of the safest global cities in the world, if not the safest global city in the world, but we always evolve and review ways to make sure that we remain as safe as we possibly can.”
Mr. Khan’s office later dismissed the president’s post, saying the mayor was too busy to reply. “He has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump’s ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police — including armed officers — on the streets,” a spokesman for the mayor said in a statement.

Trump may have misinterpreted/misunderstood (either way I think he shouldn’t have said anything), but to tell you the truth, the mayor’s statement does seem rather incongruous or off, i.e., the very fact that there is an increased police force denotes that not all is well, as such, saying, London is one of the safest global cities in the world, if not the safest city in the world, well, it seems an unlikely or contrived thing to say.

I’m glad to know, however, that he’s REASSURED that London is safe.

Sorry, but this just smacks of what a career politician would say!!

I have not said that, I checked my post; I’m not seeing how your could have inferred that.

DVD you told me to read the transcripts and watch the interviews. Then you posted three points. With the very first one saying.

1. The mayor was out quickly and repeatedly with strong condemnations.

That alludes to the President making allegations that the Mayor commended the attacks. Otherwise, what was the reason for stating something that we already knew. This statement took our conversation on a different direction. I sincerely thought that I miss read something. Specially after you told me to get informed.

Anyhow. It all comes back to my point, which is that the President has voiced the sentiment of many people. It is time to deal with this. That is the way I see what President Trump tweeted. The President pretty much called non-sense.

One thing that I do know is that the Mayor of London said: “London os one of the safest cities in the world, if not the safest.” Really? Talk about lying.

For what I heard the Prime Minister say. It seems she has had enough. And she said in her statements that it is time to have uncomfortable conversations, and that some people will be offended.

I heard someone say: “It is time to stop getting better at responding, and get better at preventing.” How true is that?

Yeah, this statement got to me as well, just seems too contrived and somewhat patronizing for my liking.

No. It means just that that the mayor had said much, much more than Trump conveyed. That he was serious. I had no idea from your post what you already knew; it was not conveyed.

Do you really think that Trump is that arrogant? That the UK was not dealing with this but being nonsensical? If so, others, who have lambasted the tweet, agree.

Show me some data. i suspect that he knows what he is talking about.

I heard someone say: “It is time to stop getting better at responding, and get better at preventing.” How true is that?

What do you know of the track record in Britain of prevention? What is the ratio of planned terrorist incidents prevented to enacted?

OTOH, what would one expect a mayor of a major, populous city to say: that the city is in imminent peril, thus possibly causing widespread panic? Part of a mayor’s job, I think, is to reassure the public that the city’s administration is making every effort to ensure its safety.

It is what an well-formed adult dutifully discharging responsibilities would say.

Think about G.W. staying in the classroom to finish “My Pet Goat” when he learned of the plane hitting the WTC. Sad day when G.W. looks like a mature statesman compared to Trump’s daily 3am meltdowns.

 

[EqualinHim]

Yes. Above all, London’s officials have a duty to keep everyone calm because mass panic does no good. Mass panic is what the terrorists want.

I don’t expect the mayor of London to say that it is the safest city in the world either. That is a rather incongruous and false thing to say after such an attack, one of just many, actually. But, I get the impression, he’s doing it a little too brown in his attempts to reassure Londoners. .

p.s. Moreover, there is much too much going on in England vis a vis terrorism and sexual abuse predatory gangs not to be alarmed.

 

[josie_L]

One can be reassuring without necessarily resorting to false claims, it leads to a false sense of security, i.e., claiming that London is the safest city in the world in light of the many attacks she has endured, just does not sit well with me,

p.s. You all can disagree with me, but that is how I feel on the matter.

 

[graciew]

I think by now we all know he was referring to extra police presence.

As soon as I read it,I remembered a time we lived near the frontier with Paraguay for a short time.
I used to travel every now and then to then Puerto Stoesnner eventually to take family visiting.
I happened to visit a couple of days after President Stoessner was brought down and the city became Ciudad del Este.
I can understand the change people may experience.: the whole place was full of military with real big weapons.
I can understand one needs a word to get pass the sight of military and guns so openly in the streets.
The unexpected from one day to the other is a bit of a shock.
But I didn t come from paradise anyway,so,I continued the visit then,but faster that day…
May London and its people be protected and safe.

And how many democrats mocked him and criticized him for that?!
