We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there - WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

I wonder on the first if he'd actually heard the news yet or if that post was just Donald being Donald.

Which doesn't really underline what he knew or didn't with the first post.

I'm guessing: Donald being Donald in reaction to initial reports. :P

I hear May has found the true problem: the Internet

I think the Internet better starts buying as much weapons from the UK as Saud Arabia, if it wants to get away with giving safe space for terrorists

Let's see whether the perpetrators came from Iran, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan or Libya on a visa. That would actually make Trump's travel ban applicable. But most of these terrorists recently seem to be of the home grown variety.

Still kind of irrelevant even then. Attacks in UK don't really logical justify US travel ban.

I think privacy protections in Britain were never very strong and with leaving the EU and continued terrorism I could see the government eroding them further.

Pretty extreme to do a proper remake of V for Vendetta.

It is really worrying, that she just HAS to campaign for greater state control of the Internet at the slightest excuse she gets. And her alternative is a guy who considers Fidel Castro a great warrior of social justice.

Well that's her, a stick of seaside rock (sweet) with authoritarian written all the way through it, rather than Blackpool or Eastbourne.

On the positive, spent the day in central London which apart from inconvenience of having London Bridge station closed, was basically like any other Sunday.

QuoteBut then he decided to slam the mayor of the city attacked, who had calmly warned his fellow Londoners: "Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There's no reason to be alarmed." Trump took the second part out of context and responded viciously, "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'" (The mayor, of course, was telling them not to be alarmed by the heightened police presence.) Trump was not done, however, inanely tweeting, "Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!"

Rest assured, strong and resolute Britons, that the US government will be here to troll you in your time of need.
