Even the bollards on the bridges and around Parliament can’t protect anyone, as proven by this morning’s terrorist attack. London’s bridges used to be a joy to walk over. You would approach them and enjoy the sense of openness and space that they presented to the casual stroller as he or she prepared to walk over them to enjoy the pleasures of the South Bank. And halfway over any of the bridges, one could pause and drink in the sights of the Thames and the majesty of the architecture, both old and new. You wouldn’t be squashed against other tourists and commuters and trapped within ugly black bollards as we are today, fighting our way to get past one another. Walking across any of London’s bridges is no longer a pleasure; it is a push and shove and a thing to be avoided. Courtesy of Islam.
Nowadays, approaching any Central London bridge is akin to animals in slaughterhouses being led through restrainers to their halal death. The bollards are ugly and are usually congested with cyclists. Getting through them with buggies or luggage is a struggle, and tempers flare. The lesson from today’s latest terrorist attack by a Muslim is that we see that the solution is not to place bollards all around a beautiful city; the answer is to get rid of jihadis and jihad sympathizers, recruiters and preachers from the West altogether. Let them go and live their lives however they want in the Middle East or Africa; just keep them away from civilized lands. One life lost is one life too many. One stupid statement in defense of a barbaric ideology is one stupid statement too many. (And I say this as I await Theresa May to come out in defense of someone having “misunderstood a beautiful religion.”)
Bollards are not the solution. There are a multitude of streets in Central London where any vehicle, large or small, could cause immense damage and result in the loss of countless lives. Take Soho, for example. On Old Compton Street, the revelers walk on the road as a normal occurrence, holding up the traffic and giving not a jot about any vehicle that is trying to overtake or get past them. The people don’t stick to the pavement. All it takes is one man with a van at full speed, and you’d have at least 20 or 30 people dead or seriously wounded. 7 Dials, over by Covent Garden, is the same. There are any number of streets in London onto which a car or a van could mount a pavement and kill pedestrians. Piccadilly Circus is ripe for this, what with all the tourists. A car could mount the pavement and go straight through Leicester Square, because there’s nothing stopping it from doing so. The same with Chinatown. And I mention these places because they are the most highly populated but the least protected by these moronic bollards that are protecting no one.
How many bollards can the government reasonably expect to erect? How ugly are they prepared to allow this city to become? The sight of them, to any tourist, isn’t inviting. This morning’s terrorist attack, and the fact that the man’s car was able to get through the bollards, is reason enough for me to insist that they be removed altogether. If people won’t be killed on Westminster Bridge, they’ll be killed on another street. Bollards are not the answer. Getting rid of the threat is. But that would necessitate a government with a strong enough backbone to do so. Until we find a leader with a backbone and a sense of national pride and a respect and dignity for his people, we are sacrifices on the altar of Islam.
Guy Forester says
Another possible solution would be to reestablish and revitalize a Home Guard as was done in WW2. Unfortunately, that means that average Brits would have access to real weapons and real military type training that could be used to protect Brits. That would leave the oligarchs and elites in utter despair, and you cannot possible allow the slaves, I mean serfs, I mean peasants the ability to have arms and defend themselves.
After all is said and done, the military and police are there for the elites, the rest of you are expected to shut up, bugger off, and BOHICA. Vaseline not supplied.

The right to keep and bear arms is essential to freedom. Getting rid of traitor leaders like Teresa May is a lot harder. Gotta suspect the voting process there. (We have the same problem in US.) On the bollards issue, ours are decorated as flower planters.

Guy, my grandfather–a police superintendent–was the organizer of the Home Guard in his town.
Of course, the British government was not inviting hordes of Nazis in–that is the big difference.
Indiana Tom says
Eh, the Nazis were okay once in POW camps and indoctrinated in the Midwest. As a matter of fact, they did not want to go home.
Had a lot of Nazis coming from far Eastern Germany after the war. Seemed to be glad to be here in the Midwest. Guess they liked us better than the Russians.
Indiana Tom says
At least the Nazis could be easily assimilated into American culture. Some even told me they were 100 percent Yankee.
gravenimage says
The Nazis were a huge danger, but many ordinary Germans in the army were not Nazis. I’m sure many of them were actually relieved when they were captured by the Allies.
Guy Forester says
Graven: It was people like your grandfather that realized the great danger England was in. If not for civilian volunteers manning early warning posts, AA posts, patrolling the coast, doing firefighting and rescues, England could very well have collapsed. Even after the US entered the war, it was months before we were there in significant numbers. By that time the Blitz was over and Hitler had his arse handed to him on a platter by the Reds.
I doubt that many people, even in the UK today, realize how people like your grandparents kept England from going under in the Blitz. Real heroes. We do not make people like them any more I fear, at least in not great supply.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Guy.
In addition, my mother and aunt–both just recently passed away–both served in the British Army as very young women, my mother as a teletype operator with the Ministry of Information, and my aunt driving huge supply trucks between London and the mouth of the Thames under dangerous blackout conditions.
Guy Forester says
Graven (No replies available for your 7:36 pm post): My condolences on the loss of your mother and aunt. They were some of the many unsung heroes that kept things going under conditions (bombings, severe rationing, shortages, and restrictions) that most people today would not be able to cope with. I would like to thank them for their service, as they held the Nazis at bay until the rest of us got up to speed.
Savvy Kafir says
The people of Britain (and other European countries) definitely need to be armed — so they can defend themselves against jihadis today, and so they can overthrow their traitorous, tyrannical governments if democracy & free speech continue to be undermined.
A revival of the Home Guard would be great. If that fails to happen, independent militias should be formed. The British government has become the enemy of free speech, democracy, and British society & culture; and it might not be possible to reform it via the democratic process. I’d say time is growing short, if that’s to happen.
However — Anne Marie Waters’ “For Britain” party offers real hope for reclaiming Britain without bloodshed. Patriotic Brits should join that party and do all they can to support it. “For Britain” really could be the answer for Britain — and can serve as an excellent model for other countries. (And the mainstream media’s claim that this is a “far-right” party is absurd.) Those of us who aren’t British should donate $$$ to the party, and do what we can to spread the word.. https://www.forbritain.uk/

When the Home Guard was formed during WW2 virtually everyone in the UK was ‘out of the same stable’, we all spoke the same language and sang from the same hymn sheet, the enemy was clearly based in Berlin and we had clear warning of him coming across in his Heinkels etc. dropping his bombs, blowing up our buildings and murdering our people. We managed to beat the Nazis, but we then let another lot in just as if we’d never beaten the first lot, so now the enemy is based in London, Oxford, Rotherham, Rochdale, Blackburn, keighley, Manchester, Bradford…etc. etc., and all this lot need for their bombing and murdering is cars and vans, and incendiary devices placed in public service vehicles and at music concerts. So if you try recruiting a ‘Home Guard’ now, you’ll also be guarding the homes of the bombers and murderers, and if you try to restrict your membership to those who you know you can trust because they’re ‘singing from the same hymn sheet’ you’ll find yourself behind bars courtesy of the neo-Quisling UK Authorities. Interesting to note that (a) the people dropping bombs on us in the 1940’s also sang hymns, whereas the present opposition don’t even know what a ‘hymn’ is,(b) the British police and security services are currently involved in tracking nearly 700 live terrorist issues and (c) a high-ranking government or police official speaking on radio today about permanently banning vehicles in whole areas of London said that ‘we’re not going to give in to these people who want to change our way of life’ (that’s almost a verbatim quote). Why don’t they just admit that we’ve got ourselves involved in a civil war?

The enemy is now withing the gates.
I don’t agree with you that ravening Muslim invaders are British, though.
Jayell says
Well they’ve got the passports, NI numbers, and maybe the birth certificates, and therfore they claim to be ‘British’ as a matter of convenience when there’s something in it for them although they might claim something else when they’re trying to impress their friends. The term ‘British’ doesn’t seem to denote a specific cultural identity anymore,and therefore it’s effectively meaningless. The ethnic terms ‘English’, ‘Scots’, ‘Welsh’ and ‘Irish’, however, still seem to have some real significance and cannot be so easly misappropriated.
Susan B says
Ban islam, deport anyone that supports or follows that evil Nazis like ideology and destroy all the mosques which are the army headquarters for allah’s invading army.
We also need to Imprison all the traitors that are enabling this destruction of our countries, starting with Merkel, May, Marcon. Trudeau…… for high treason.
Also charge the MSM and other propaganda tools of the globalist with treason and hold them accountable for all the lies and brainwashing inflicted on the west. Time to start fighting back.

Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim terrorist with his vicious vehicle jihad attack in the city of London may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter England to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Britain to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.
Carolyne says
Yes. President Trump told this same fable but with a beautiful woman taking pity on the viper. No matter. It is a perfect example of the perfidy of snakes….and Muslims.

There is a big push on at the moment to try to rid us of the disastrous Theresa May who is one of the biggest Islamophiliacs you could come across
This video of her is very interesting – most of her political speeches are delivered in a boring, convictionless manner, dry, dull and tedious – rather like her. However when speaking of Islam she lights up with an almost messianic fervour and quivers with excitement. Something very wrong here.
Jayell says
It seems that the main muslim contributions to British life are (a) keeping the Social Securiity staff employed, (b) keeping the Police,Security forces and hospital emergency departmentys busy, and (c) guaranteeing a lot of employment to prison officers. Regretfully, that shows up as significant negative values on the national balance-sheet.
CogitoErgoSum says
Just as the answer to eliminating shootings is to ban all guns, I think the obvious way to eliminate the need for bollards is to ban all cars. Don’t we have horses, donkeys and, yes, even camels for our transport needs? Ah yes, we must get back to the ways of a simpler time. Women wearing niqabs and burkas, men wearing armour (with visor down) and a few merry men in the forest of Sherwood. Getting the world to return to those good ole days of less violence and crime …..that can be your Jihad.

If you bring Muslims into your country, this is what you can and should expect.
If there is anything I loathe more than Islam, I can’t think of what that would be. A few things as much, but nothing more so.

I see terrorist attacks in London are so common now that Theresa May doesn’t come back from her holidays to tell us that these are not true Muslims, but people who distort the noble religion of Islam.
Or maybe it’s because she knows few believe her lies.
JMB says
Perhaps London should look to the Australian Federal Parliament for a solution, here are the words of one of our parliamentarians (yesterday); “Crossbench senator Fraser Anning has drawn fire from across the political spectrum for calling for a “final solution to the immigration problem” and advocating for a return to the White Australia Policy.” Senator Anning may have received some flak but he will also receive a lot of support for his views.

White people are the most diverse group of people in the world as far as the color of their eyes and hair and I would wager even in each one’s ability to have different shades of skin tone according to length of exposure to the sun. I’m just not sure what makes a person “white” though. I don’t believe that even DNA testing can give an absolute answer to that. It was extremely odd to me that last week a group of all white antifa members were calling Candace Owens (a black woman) a white supremacist.

Oh yes, and Rosanne Barr made the mistake of thinking that Valerie Jarrett is white.

The queen is a descendent of Mohammed through his daughter Fatima. Since her successor Charles said decades ago that did not want to assume the title, ‘Defender of the Faith’ but to be ‘Defender of Faiths’, I think it is very likely they will go with the flow when Islam takes over.
(Only a Christian Revival with prevent that.)

GOOD QUESTION: WHAT’S NEXT? COATS OF ARMOUR?

They got the nickname BECAUSE OF ISLAM … Muslims are commanded in the Koran to STRIKE THE NECK which they take literally.
In order to protect their necks from blows to the FAVORITE LOCATION of MUSLIM KNIVES and SWORDS, the Marines wore a LEATHER “STOCK” around their necks.
Modern Westerners should all start to where a “STOCK” as protest to their governments to show them that people are taking the jihad threat seriously.

The Quranic Concept of War by Brigadier S K. Malik: Lahore Pakistan 1979; republished India 1992
Found at Page 143 under the heading “summary of Major Conclusions”.
“… The Quranic philosophy of war is fully integrated into the total Quranic Ideology. The Ideology provides the environments and conditions for the operation and applicatopn of this philosophy. Given these conditions and environments, the philosophy is infinitely effective; without them it tends to lose much of its sharpness and might become altogether blunt…”
To put into perspective the importance of “The Quranic Concept of War”, it may be noted the Book could not have the Title “Quranic” unless it were deemed to reflect and represent the content of the Quran by Supreme Authority.

The United KIngdom is not a Democracy. It is a Monarchy. It has no written Constitution and therefore no hard and fast document on which to rely to preserve what freedoms they have left. I find it heart rending that the land of Magna Carta is now the land of suppression of speech and religion, and is fast becoming a Muslim country. To elect a Pakistani Muslim as Mayor of London is a disgrace. To have elected Theresa May’s party to appoint her PM is idiocy. Yet, that’s what you did. The UK should rise up and evict all of those who are stealing your lives–literally stealing your lives—and giving them over to Islam. Shame on those who allowed that to happen. We in the US might not win the battle with Islam, but at least we elect some people who will try.
