Re: Attack at UK parliament
Some day I'll talk about how Turkish streets were NEVER safe to walk on anyways.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

A crowdfunding campaign by a British Muslim who witnessed an attack in London that killed four people has almost reached a target of $37,000, which will be donated to the victims' families.
By the time of publishing, more than 1,000 people had donated $33,500 towards the fund.
On Wednesday, Muddassar Ahmed was barricaded in a nearby office building in Westminster at the time of the car-and-knife attack, which also wounded dozens.
"I was there and I was shocked," he told Al Jazeera. "Because I saw what happened, I felt that had to do something for the victims ... I wanted to raise money quickly so I launched the campaign late that night."
"It was primarily to help families of the victims ... it was something that could be done to offer support and empathise with the families."
Ahmed then called his friends to help with fundraising.
Two British Muslim MPs - Naz Shah and Yasmin Qureshi - have since voiced their support for the Muslims United for London initiative.
'Being proactive is part of the solution'
On the crowdfunding page, Ahmed wrote that he was shocked to witness "the injuries and loss of life outside my window".
"I reflected on what it means to be a born-and-bred Londoner and found myself proud of how security and medical services responded," he said.
The suspect behind the attack, who was killed after he stabbed a policeman to death, was named as 52-year-old Khalid Masood. Reports said he was a Muslim convert.
Some 40 people were injured in the attack, 29 of whom were being treated in hospital, according to police. Seven were still in critical condition.
"Rather than just condemning the attacks, being proactive and actually doing something is part of the solution," said Ahmed.

Would so rather be over educated that a knuckle dragging Neanderthal bereft of critical thought and imagination. Although in the case of Neanderthals, that's quite the insult.

and there you go folks. This is how Rotherham happens. Calling anyone who disagrees with your views "divisive" and "trash". Paralyze society with comments like one above in the name of political correctness, and thousands of young girls get raped.
