Marc505 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Terrible news. There's photos of the lorry riddled with bullets. Was only there a couple of weeks ago everywhere looks so familiar on the news, such a pleasant city too. This stuff just goes on and on. Quote

Salford Trotter Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Shocking news France is in a desperate state there is bad stuff going on all the time that's not being reported and the government seem clueless to stop it.The problem all authorities have is that the terrorists' tactics are changing away from the conventional bombs to methods that are not as easy to combat and stop well before an attack happens. Trucks drive around in every town and city in the world and it just takes one nutter to cause carnage. Quote
Marc505 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Well, the gallant statesman that will now have to show eloquent and sensitive support to the French in the coming days, is Boris Johnson. Challenging first day. Quote
