What's Going On In Nottingham?

[S100HP]

Apologies, we use that terminology daily so didn't really think about it.

Anyway, I'm going to sleep as was at work last night, I look forward to finding out what happened when I wake up. (Well not look forward but I'm sure you know what I mean)

One last thing, that picture shows fire and ambulance waiting, suggesting a cordon has been set up for the hot zone. They are not allowed to enter until police give the say so....which kind of backs up the suggestions above.

I think a random Wednesday morning would have been more effective.

Not on the same scale, but do you remember a certain Tuesday morning in September 2001?

I've got and idea. What we need is some sort of alert system that could be sent to everyone in the local area to tell them what's happening. By text I reckon.

Sounds like a swell idea.

GBNews have shown unverified footage taken by a local man. Driver of van tazered and cuffed, man had a ‘very large knife and a backpack.

The Ashes starts on Friday just down the road, that would have been my pick.

You jest (I think?). But isn't that what it was designed for?? Bit pointless hearing it on the news and deciding to stay away when we've spent millions on a fancy system to warn people...

This just goes to show how piss poor journalism is in this country. If this was the US there would be choppers giving us live pictures within minutes.

This is the North, though. It'll take an hour or two to get any decent news crews there from London.

They are waiting for the WALTS to arrive before making any further moves apparently.

In before someone goes through his old tweets and tries to discredit him as an -ist of some sort.

How sad, terrible, shocking etc. Not much of an assumption to suggest it was a deliberate act in which case what utter s those are that are connected to the incident. They can burn in their hell of choice.

Confirmed 3 dead, 31 yo man arrested.

All kicked off at 4am apparently, strange time if terrorism.
