London
Terror and the General Election
"Don't worry, darling, I wouldn't bite the hand that feeds
me."
me."
A
mini-documentary I made about the terror attacks on London Bridge and
in Borough market last night, and how they fit into a pattern
throughout this election campaign. I summarise events over the last
few months, their political relevance and why the conventional
explanations do not fit with what we know about these terrorist
incidents.

Jeremy Corbyn calls for Theresa May to resign as Prime Minister for presiding over police cuts while Home Secretary
The
Labour leader said he backed similar calls by 'very responsible'
people who are 'very worried' about her record
The
cutting of 20,000 police officers on the Prime Minister's watch has
become a millstone around her neck – and one that the Labour leader
is using to his advantage
Multiple
eyewitnesses said that community police officers fled from Borough
Market in London after seeing two men with knives stabbing people as
part of a terror attack Saturday.
These
eyewitnesses told
The Guardian’s Lisa O’Carroll that
two men started stabbing
people outside a restaurant in Borough Market,
close to where the first
terror attack took
place on London Bridge,
resulting in multiple fatalities.
“I
saw two guys with big knives downstairs outside Roast. They were
stabbing people,” the eyewitnesses said.
Perhaps
the most jarring part of the testimony was a report that, instead of
running to the stabbing to stop it, the
police turned around and
ran the other way.
“The
police were running away, they were community police. They were
normal officers, they were running away,” the eyewitnesses said.
With
the police out of sight, onlookers began yelling “stop, stop” and
throwing chairs.
But
then police arrived at the scene and “shot straight way.”
Police
community support officers (PCSOs) operate
usually in a paid, full-time role,
and while “PCSOs do not have the same powers as regular police
officers, they still carry a lot of responsibility, and are a
critical part of the police service.”
More
than 90
percent of police officers in London do not carry guns and
instead carry mace, handcuffs, batons and, on occasion, a stun
gun.
Mere
hours after the events took place on London Bridge and at Borough
Market, Metropolitan Police labeled them as terror attacks
