So the best recap so far seems: shortly before 2;30pm, a driver mounted the curb to attack civilians and crashes at the intersection, allowing co-conspirator to break into westminster gardens while distracted, approached two police officers and attacked one, and was then given fair warning before being shot casualties between 5-12, knife-wielding assailant assumed dead(?), at least 5 knocked by car per eyewitness reports, and air ambulance on scene and transporting people. Driver has either legged it and got away from the most heavily guarded building in the country or he's having a conversation with the police. Anything else? there's not going to be more good info until the police and ambulance are prepared to give statements e; the time Spangly A fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Like some thing from a film. 3m ago 15:29 Rajeev Syal Theresa May, the prime minister, was rushed in to a car forty yards from the gates outside Parliament where shots were fired minutes after the incident occurred according to footage filmed by a member of staff. She was ushered by at least eight armed undercover police, some with their firearms drawn, in to a waiting black vehicle in Speaker’s Court, the footage seen by the Guardian shows. Loud bangs can be heard in the background as she is is ushered in to a car, but it is unclear whether the bangs are gunshots.

Private Speech posted:May apparently, BBC reckons she delivered a knock-out blow by saying "typical Labour, pulling up the ladder" when Corbyn criticised her for Grammar schools and she reminded him his own son went there. Glad someone is dealing with the important questions. Also, I happened to put on BBC News & they had some pretty awful helicopter shots of a line of people on Westminster Bridge on the ground, being treated by what I presume were paramedics. It was sad. So I'll continue making lame references to PMQs & other things that don't matter until there's more details because it's either that or jokes with a nugget of truth in them lamenting that no politicians were harmed, which is probably a bit "too soon" for right now.

She's got a fair while, even on the train it'd take a few hours to get to Scotland, probably longer knowing southern rail.

Depends, if it's anything like the American presidential car with inches-thick composite armour (it's probably not but maybe halfway there) then it might be safer. e: misunderstood the question. maybe she was nearby?

Though I'm pretty sure people can show respect while still governing. Nobody bemoans journalists for lacking respect when they carry on doing their jobs and report on terror attacks.

It's not so much respect for a tragedy as it is respect for truth & decency & not stirring up xenophobia just to temporarily halt plummeting sales that you feel journos lack.
