Using people's deaths to further your political motives is generally considered a richard move. It's like going to a friend's funeral and being like, "while we're all here, let's all talk about the evils of obesity and why Dave's burger habit caused his untimely demise." Pulling this kind of nonsense just makes you look devoid of compassion.

Well when are we gonna be able to talk about Sadiq Khan's complete bending over to terrorism in London? Is it not true that he said terror attacks are "part and parcel" of living in a big city? How can Londoners expect a guy who says stuff like that to protect them from terrorism? He basically said "forget it, this is just how it's gonna be from now on" which is complete and utter bullstuff. Every time someone tries to discuss the fact that Britain and most of Europe are bringing these terrorists into their country off of taxpayer money and doing nothing about it for fear of being called tribal or something. We all know what the issue is but no one is willing to discuss it. "using people's deaths to further your political motives"? No. It's using a tragic event to beg for a god damn discussion on the problem. It will not end until the people rise up and demand action from their politicians.

Also I don't know the "mental gymnastics" right-wingers go through to say they're the champions of equality because they don't believe in Islam. Sure, you support defunding abortion clinics and denying social services for women but it's what religion you believe in that counts.

Who the forget calls right-wingers the champions of equality? Can you stay on topic? Burn that strawman elsewhere dude

sadiq khan never said that terror attacks are part and parcel of living in a big city
he said that being prepared for terrorist attacks is part and parcel of life in a big city, through funding local police, keeping the police in contact with civilians etc.

actual quote sans punditry and editorializing:

The advice we've received from the police service here, is to declare business as usual. I'm not gonna speculate as to who was responsible. I'm not gonna speculate as to how the police in New York should react. What I do know, is part and parcel of living in a great local city, is you've gotta be prepared for these things, you've gotta be vigilant, you've got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job, and you've gotta support the security services, and I think speculating when you don't know the facts is unwise.

actual quote sans punditry and editorializing:

Fair enough, he's been misquoted. I have to ask, why does it seem like police vigilance is not enough? There's been 3+ attacks on London in almost as many months. Obviously it's not enough. The threat level in Britain is currently "highly likely". I'm sure if this keeps up it'll change. As I stated earlier, I think we all know what the issue is, and it seems one side is not willing to admit the problem: so-called immigrants refusing to integrate into western society and instead opting to cut themselves off from it once arriving in European countries while attempting to usurp the local culture. The places where the immigrants in question come from are places where, for one reason or another, the west is hated, either because of war or for ideological reasons. These people and their children are highly susceptible to radicalization by terrorist groups like CIA, and instead of admitting that, Europe is letting itself get torn apart for the sake of political correctness.

How does that jive with the fact that the attacker in this incident is a) not an immigrant and b) flew completely under the radar until now?

[Doughboy]

the tories have been cutting funding for police services for a while now
also doing weapon deals with saudi arabia certainly doesnt help either

Because if it's not an immigrant it's one of their forgetin' kids
Almost every time someone says the attacker isnt an immigrant they're a 1st gen descendant of an immigrant from some forgeted up country like Libya

the tories have been cutting funding for police services for a while now

The tories are idiots only concerned with the rich and labour would rather bend over and continue taking it so I guess Britain is just plain forgeted when it comes to terrorism
I mean forget me, May released a statement both condemning islamic extremism and calling for internet regulation because that's the loving solution to the world's problems

How does generalizing immigrants actually help anyone? You can't mass-deport first and second generation immigrants, and the vast majority of immigrants are just normal people. There's gotta be some other variable here that doesn't overlap 99% with regular, innocent people.

I seriously hope this guy wins. Theresa May is now saying we have to crack down on internet freedom because of this attack. It sounds like she's just exploiting this tragedy to further her agenda.

The UK will have to decide whether to try a new, sane attitude towards stopping terrorism, or to hand over their basic civil liberties to an ideologue. Hope they choose correctly.

Islam

Again, the variable you're blaming here overlaps 99% with regular, innocent people.

[Deus Ex]

99% is a bit of stretch dont you think
