2 innocent people killed in broad daylight in your capital city and your more worried about whatever he dropped ffs 

Interesting point mate. At the begining of this thread it was obvious this was a terroist attack & people had been hurt,, but the piss taking & laughter started straight away, obviously not about the actual incident, but none the less. You & me laughed along knowing their could be casualties.

Would we of done that a couple of years ago? Are we becoming desensitised? Tragic if we have....

People dead and folk having a joke amongst themselves dreadful

I know mate, just could of been said at another time.......but yes I agree people in general are definitely getting desensitised......there will even be folk calling for the police officer to sacked soon I’m sure. When the mayor of London calls it part and parcel of living in a big city it doesn’t install much hope

I was watching the BBC live coverage and the reporter was saying something along the lines of  how people would be "more worried about getting home or going to the pub and that nobody seemed bothered about the actual incident"

My cousin has a form of epilepsy and fell down on a crossing in London and people stepped over her mate ! ......it’s just how it is I’m afraid, it’s f***ing sick.

Re: The joking, I just think that’s always been the british way.......if something’s terrible we will find a way to take the piss....always have and hopefully always will.

I don’t think people are desensitised at all, we are, as a race, known for not making a song and a dance about everything.....it’s just our nature.

In terms of being British, it’s the ones weeping and wailing and making a scene about everything that are the odd ones out.
I think there is a massive difference between being able to empathise with somebody and being a massive f***ing fanny........they are two completely different things imho 

[WILF 44,325]

One thing I do notice, traumatic things have been Americanised ?

Now we all have to fall over ourselves to show what hell and anguish we are going through......it’s like a competition.

We have been getting blown to bits since the 70s but since “9:11” we have to call everything something now and have a big old national out pouring of grief.

Even our soldiers have been thrown on the Vietnam bandwagon where they are all expected to have a good cry and generally cut about like the cast from “Born on the 4th of July”

We didn’t do that after the war or after the Woolwhich or Birmingham pub bombings or when Sefton and his horsey mates got levelled.

We had a cup of tea, said “Bollocks to it” and got the f**k on with things.

Its cringeworthy really.

Unfortunately thsts never going to happen. 

Look at this government over here. Lost track of 9 of them during the week. 16 were caught in the back of a truck, and 9 managed to take off.

Government not worried.

Sorry I haven't been able to watch the news, just heard shits gone down. 

Was it camel jockeys or just random gang bangers with knives?
