    One of my manager's friends was stabbed the other night. I'm sure some sad little yank teenager making a Youtube video knows more about the recent attack though.

    Bring back Eugenics I say...

    Kharum Butt, one of the three attackers, appeared on Channel 4's "Jihadis Next Door"

    I'm not quite sure what to do with this information. Stuck in a proper dilemma here.

    Better than running and hiding?


    John Geddes, 60, had a stellar 14-year career in the elite special forces unit and has offered some expert advice. This comes as on Saturday night a gang of terrorists struck just after 10pm when a white Transit van hit a crowd of people on London Bridge. Three knife-wielding jihadis then leapt out of the van and starting stabbing people in pubs and restaurants as they rampaged through Borough Market. Father-of-three John said the best tactic if you're caught up in a similar attack is to team up with others and overpower the attacker as a group.

    He said makeshift weapons could also slow down a terrorist – including your pint. This comes as a man was seen running from the terror attack carefully carrying his beer. A briefcase to the head or throwing any liquid – hot or cold – into the face of a terrorist could also give you the upper hand. The expert said a pub garden umbrella could be used as a lance, a stool as a weapon and a coffee in the face could give you time to violently attack. John, from Hereford, said the worst thing to do was to stay on the floor unarmed.

    He said: "They have to become momentarily medieval and fight in a group. "You have to pick up whatever is around and throw it. "You can only run so far and so fast – and for some people that isn't an option, so you have to fight." "What you should do depends on how the situation presents itself but for the normal person taking on a knife with your bare hands they've got no chance," John said."If you are in a restaurant you've got knives, forks, chairs and bottles. Throw them at the attack and overpower them."They bleed the same as you – they are only human."John added you should pick up anything close at hand to fight back.

    He continued: “Pick up a table with others and throw it at them and follow it up with whatever you can find. "A pint glass – we all know the damage some idiot in the pub can do with that. That's what people have to do collectively to defeat these perpetrators. "Cold drinks are good too. Just throw them in his face, especially if they come in a good volume like a beer. Liquid – of any sort – in the face is a big impediment to action. "For a moment you have to become a group of football hooligans."

    I like Bear Grylls but he wasn't in the SAS proper, he was in 21, still impressive though.

    Thanks.

    I didn't actually watch the programme or anything I just know how to read and how to get onto the internet to read news websites.
