Officer stabbed at UK Parliament; report of car rampage

Americans seem to have a taste for our trash, Farage, Piers Morgan, Russell Brand, Ricky Gervais, they certainly like mediocrity.

Ahem. I might point out that the BBC was all set to end Monty Python and tape over the videotapes to save money, (talk about cheap), which would end the video record of the comedy troupe forever. Then the Americans came rushing in on their white horses wearing their white hats and saved the day via a distribution deal in the US.

And that proves what exactly? We got over Monty Python. These days they are much more popular in the USA than in Britain. John Cleese is a wanker.

Cleese is more widely-known for his work in Fawlty Towers.

That curly-headed knob fronting up Top Gear is a genuine wanker, though.

Quote:

John Cleese is a wanker.

So's the Queen, but she's still around.

He made a lot of money doing corporate training videos after Python. He supports UKIP.

The one that got fired? An absolute tosser.

The world could definitely have done without Benny Hill.

What's UKIP an acronym for?

he said that London is no longer an English city.

Mother's family is from Kent

That's his kind of people's code for "it's full of darkies".

Westminster attacker Khalid Masood acted alone and there is no information to suggest further attacks are planned, Scotland Yard has said.

Masood killed three people and injured 50 when he drove a car into pedestrians on Wednesday. He then fatally stabbed a police officer before being shot dead by police - all within 82 seconds.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu said: "We still believe that Masood acted alone on the day and there is no information or intelligence to suggest there are further attacks planned.

"Even if he acted alone in the preparation, we need to establish with absolute clarity why he did these unspeakable acts to bring reassurance to Londoners, and to provide answers and closure for the families of those killed and the victims and survivors of this atrocity.

"We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this. That understanding may have died with him.

"Nevertheless, we are determined to understand if Masood was a lone actor inspired by terrorist propaganda or if others have encouraged, supported or directed him."

Writing in two Sunday newspapers, both the home secretary Amber Rudd and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson called on social media companies like Google and Facebook to be "more proactive" in stamping out extremist websites.

Three people were taken to hospital after a car ploughed into a large group of people outside a north London pub.

Witnesses said they saw bodies being thrown "in the air" when the car mounted the pavement outside the Old Queen's Head in Islington.

Two knives were found at the scene but police said they are not treating the crash as terrorist related.

Four teenagers have been arrested and remain in custody.

Cassandra Pessaran told the BBC there were "30-odd" people standing outside the pub in Essex Road just before 23:00 BST.




She said she heard "screeching tyres" then saw a vehicle "playing bumper cars with about three other cars... before going straight into a crowd of people".

Aris Papachronopoulos said he "saw three people in the air" after the car drove "into the whole group".

Two men and a woman are being treated in hospital. Their injuries are not considered life threatening.

The teenagers in custody are aged between 17 and 19 and were held on suspicion of a variety of offences including GBH with intent and possession of points and blades, the Met said.

One knife was found in the car while another was discovered nearby.

"So you admit, then, that immigration had nothing to do with this terror attack."

"Not directly, no, but that's not the point," said Mr Farage.
