Armed police respond to serious incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market – with members of the public urged to reach areas of safety.
Since late yesterday evening [Saturday, 3 June], the Metropolitan Police Service has been responding to incidents in the London Bridge and Borough Market areas of south London. We are treating this as a terrorist incident and a full investigation is already underway, led by the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command.
[...] Six people have been killed in terror attacks on London Bridge and at Borough Market.
Three male suspects have been shot dead by police.
Canisters seen around the body of at least one of the suspects have been “established to be hoaxes”, police said.
Police believe all of those directly responsible for the attack have been killed.[...] Since March there has been the Westminster attack by Khalid Masood, who mowed down pedestrians near parliament and stabbed a policeman, resulting in six deaths, including his own: and the Manchester bombing two weeks ago that killed 22. And now London again.
[...] An editor in the Sun’s London Bridge Street office says police confirmed that a number of blasts heard [...] were controlled explosions.

An investigation into the foreign funding of extremist Islamist groups may never be published, the Home Office has admitted.
The inquiry commissioned by David Cameron, was launched as part of a deal with the Liberal Democrats in December 2015, in exchange for the party supporting the extension of British airstrikes against Isis into Syria.
But although it was due to be published in the spring of 2016, it has not been completed and may never be made public due to its "sensitive" contents.
It is thought to focus on Saudi Arabia, which the UK recently approved £3.5bn worth of arms export licences to.

Guys, the agenda is always split in two (or more) and each party gets its slice. Party getting to power pushes a mixture of the agenda and some other conflicting stuff, but removes the conflicting stuff of the previous government.
What I predict (I have no crystal ball, this is what I would do if I wanted to soft coup a country) is infiltration on both high ranking government and low ranking essential services positions (water, energy distribution, roads,communication). If the strategy works, Islam, if it fizzles it is because of some neo-right organization which will have no choice but to enforce the surveillance state that has been conveniently planned even before the crisis started. If the thesis and antithesis generate a synthesis, a new society banning all religious expression will be pushed on us, politically. Culturally this is already the case.
No matter what happens, the result is the end of the Christian-peppered pseudo-democracy that we enjoyed in the past, which probably ran its course, and did its share of damage BTW.
Way outs? Everything is about control. What you left the system control, will be used to further remove control from you. Focus on the amount of control you have and you miss, and don't care about politics and parties and flags.
