Nobody ever gives a shit about single blokes without kids and they can't even vote.

Terrible attack in London as a man drives into cyclists and then smashes into the security barriers with his car. Thank god for those measures and the brave police and armed response vehicles for preventing another massacre. London is ready for anything and with these barriers have proved they not only work, but can prevent terrorism. The threat still highlights these lone-wolf stacks are still very probable and it is essential we stay alert at ALL times.

Meanwhile, in another part of Europe...

Paris installs open air eco-friendly urinals...

Only in France... Oui Oui....

It looks like this is a French tradition going back to the late 1800s:

I like how this headline is worded:

Paris residents pissed at public, eco-friendly urinals

The barriers didn't work for the pedestrians and cyclists that were run over.

. It's just fortunate the idiot chose a Ford Fiesta rather than a van or lorry.

All you need is a vehicle and motivation to commit mass murder, London or any city can't prevent or be 'ready' for that.

I can't wait to see the open air model urinals for the women.

By the way, it seems that they forget to add a small tap to wash the hands.

Do you have a state program to control the messages of the preaches of Muslim imams in the UK ?

I didn't think the French washed their hands, or is that another urban myth about to be shattered
