Saw it earlier Baldric. Same, no name no pack drill, routine regarding the would be murderer.
//"The male driver of the car was detained by officers at the scene. A number of pedestrians have been injured. Officers remain at the scene.
"We will issue further information when we have it."
According to Vincent McAvinney, the police radio reported the incident would be treated as "counter-terror".//

Well, it doesn't appear to have been an accident.

The Sky reporter described the perpetrator as a "Black man"......I didn't think that this was allowed in the UK now.

Seems odd that this is on MSM given that there are indications it was a deliberate act and those who like a bet with Bet 365 on these things probably won't get great odds- you think we'd have to rely on Twitter for such news. Hopefully no-one is injured and the police are able to carry out their enquiries in an appropriate way. I'm not sure why people feel announcing the name of the suspect now would help in any way- apart from stealing a march on those who like to make out the TROB pressure the police not to reveal names/descriptions/motives.
The info always comes out pretty quickly- whether it be terror related or just bad driving- so we may not have to wait long

I suppose it could have something to do with the school holidays.

no life threatening condition.... another lone wolf incident ? bit of overkill after the incident now...

Thanks. ""Paramedics are treating a small group of people sitting on the ground outside the Palace of Westminster.
Okay, let's hope the injuries are only minor and that the main issue is shock.
Police "do not believe anybody is in a life-threatening condition." which is a relief if true

Spathy, nobody has said that this is terrorist related.

//I personally think anyone who trys to cause 'terrorism' by driving a car into a wall simply in the proximity of an iconic landmark //

He drove the car at people.

Spath - look at the Daily Mail:

He doesn't look like a heart-attack victim.

I wonder if it will be shown on Swedish news outlets and... well, you know...other guff like that.

Are you alright, Talbot?
