    EVERY police officer should be armed! If the policeman who died wasn't armed then it's a disgrace in my view! RIP to the innocent victims.

    No he wasn't it seems... the armed officers responded within about 30 seconds, The stabbed officer gave chase but collapsed after about 20 yards. I'm in London today, its pandemonium everyone very jittery. Bless those that died, this could have been much much worse, it may have been one acting alone, but it has served to heighten peoples awareness again.

    No matter how much protection you put in place, you can't stop a nutter driving a vehicle into people.
    Not sure what the answer is to this "new style" of terror.

    I've been in Waterloo all day, got the tube up
    to Kings Cross at rush hour and it just feels like any other day, not seen a single policeman at any of the tube or rail stations either.

    Many would say he was a hero before he went into politics, he used to be a captain in the Royal Green Jackets.

    ****ing awful
    I was at a meeting a few hundred yards away from where it happened earlier, but I left an hour or so before it happened
    Got in touch with my brother straight away as he works there too. He was fine, but had heard the gunshots outside his office window. (he was slightly injured in the Canary Wharf bombing a few years ago too so I'm still deciding whether he's really lucky or really unlucky...I think I'm going for lucky at the moment)

    Really difficult to stop this type of attack and it makes you wonder how many are stopped through good intelligence before they happen...problem is the security services have to get it right every time and a terrorist only has to get it right once

    Respect to all those that run into things while most are running in the other direction

    ^^This must be the security forces nightmare scenario - disgruntled citizen jumps in large vehicle armed with large knife from kitchen, mows down a load of innocents and stabs until he's taken down. He's not known to be a nutter, not told anyone about it, not contacted other nutters by phone or t'internet. A nightmare for all those waiting for a loved one to return home, RIP.
