    Yeah, that's the Bataclan Concert Hall I mentioned earlier.

    This is going to end really really badly (as if it wasn't already bad enough).

    Sounds like the whole of Paris is under attack. Frightening thing is that it looks so organised and could easily happen on these shores next

    Definitely a big organised one, probably to coincide with the France-Germany game, where police forces will be somewhat distracted by thousands of fans.

    Emwazi biting the dust earlier probably didn't help.

    My son is in Paris now. Just rang him and nothing near them. Hope it stays that way. Scary.

    And we won't give our old bill tazers.

    That happened in this country, especially outside of London, and it would take at least 2 hours to round up enough firearms officers to deal with a large scale attack like this.

    The French will probably deploy the Foreign Legion on the streets fully tooled up after this.

    Can you imagine our government deploying the Marines or the Paras onto the streets of London?

    We're meant to be playing France at Wembley on Tuesday anarl.

    Security might get tightened up a bit for that one. I wouldn't blame them calling it off.

    No because some tosser will start crying about human rights and civil liberties - well, what about the human rights of the victims / potential victims? Surely we all have the right to live in a safe environment - and if it takes armed police to do that, then fine by me.
