    It seems like an excessive response to an accident. The whole of South Ken has been locked down.

    This is the bloke they arrested ...

    11 injured, 9 taken to hospital. A mixture of head and leg injuries. Looks like more than an accident from the TV angle of where the car ended up...

    Looks like an accident......Sad indictment of our society that when someone has a car accident, instead of being helped with his injuries, he's thrown to the ground and restrained........

    Understandable though. People are nervous and fear the worst.

    Did he stay by the car like an accident victim or did he run around with a knife shouting alahu Akbar

    I have just come back from a day out in London having visited the Tait Modern with my new better half. I was mostly concerned about the march against extremism. I was not far from the Natural history museum around the time of this car incident.

    As for the march I was not affected by any nutters on the trains or tube thank fook<ok>


    Thousands of football supporters march against extremism in London to oppose 'recent upsurge' of UK terror attacks



      • Fans representing clubs from across the country joined the Football Lads Alliance demonstration in capital
      • English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson was spotted at the protest smiling with demonstrators
      • Organiser John Meighan said called on Dianne Abbott to 'move over' after she expressed concerns
      • The Hackney MP signed Stand up to Racism statement calling on protest to condemn right-wing extremists
      • The Football Lads Alliance claimed the group consists of ordinary fans who are opposed to all extremism

    Apparently it was an Uber mini-cab but the driver wasn't the registered driver to the vehicle.

    So many Uber drivers share the car and the TfL license badge with the cars operating 24/7, they really are joke of a company but no joke for the victims, here's two serious incidents in the past 12 hours...

    These incidents are occurring every day. I have a mate who works at Soho fire station and he says that they're attending road traffic collisions involving Uber almost on a daily basis. For a company that doesn't pay tax here they're certainly using up a lot of our underfunded emergency services resources.

    I saw a few clips during the week of Uber's going the wrong way up the A40 , **** knows how they manage that ...

    cant imagine 2 many mercedes drivers needing to do uber
    and that cabbie should know better than to use a camera when hes driving

    Of course I wasn’t there and has been pointed out, the driver might of acted up somehow to get that reaction but I would like to bet that if the driver was white then the reaction would of been somewhat different.
