'Support for Conservatives in Scotland at highest ever level – Survation for the Sunday Post
Survation’s latest poll in Scotland on behalf of the Sunday Post – and one of the first polls in Scotland since Theresa May announced her intention to call a General Election – shows the Scottish Conservatives at their highest level in either a Survation Westminster or a Holyrood voting intention ever, although they are still some 15 points behind the SNP.
Ruth Davidson’s party (28%) have opened up a 10 point lead over Kezia Dugdale’s Labour (18%) in the Westminster Voting Intention, indicating that they may well be on course to gain seats in Scotland, most likely from the SNP (43%), who achieved nearly half of all votes in Scotland at the last General Election in 2015.
SNP 43%; CON 28%; LAB 18%; LD 9%; Other 2%
More than two-in-five Scots (43%) said that they agreed with Theresa May’s decision to call an early General Election, compared to a quarter (25%) who disagreed. The remainder expressed no opinion either way.
The Independence Voting Intention remains unchanged from Survation’s last poll in mid-March, with No ahead of Yes by 6 points (53% vs 47%).'

Possibly you would. Makes it very difficult to co-ordinate a police response i would think because they would need 360 degree vision.Quincel said:
Complete speculation, but if you were going to split into two groups and commit two simultaneous attacks would you choose two targets so close to each others?SeanT said:This sounds much bigger and more organised than Westminster.

Time will tell what is going on. It sounds very ominous at the moment, but we should also consider that the police are likely to be on particular alert right now anyway. And safety first is a good approach in circumstances like this.

Two or three years ago I and a colleague spent a few days in Italy talking to a potential business partner.

That's the kind of question she asks. We assure her she is being paranoid.
We took her to Borough Market to help her deal with this. She had a lovely time and we all made bread in the market and then she and me had a sweet picnic on Regent's Park.
A gorgeous day.
Tomorrow she will wake up and read and hear this news, and know that she was in the very bar that got shot up by these fucking scum. And she will think her fears are genuine.
It's a tiny tiny thing. It's not a tragedy for us. Our trauma is microscopic compared to people who have been actually hurt, or killed.
But Jesus this hits home because it menaces my kids and enough, enough, enough. We have to fight back.

Seems like people are reporting stabbings, not gunfire. Gunfire likely from police. Good-ish news at least.0 -
Or are already out. While the river is a natural border, in the 5 mins before police arrive they could have easily made it far enough away to lose yourself in the crowds.RobD said:
Gawd.. and if the police don't have a proper cordon they could easily get out.jonny83 said:BBC News saying that Police are searching for three individuals that may be armed. Fucking hell!

Jesus comrade, the man was in the same place with his child earlier in the day and wears his heart on his sleeve at the best of times, a litter latitude perhaps? It wasn't even offensive or anything.tyson said:
Jesus comrade...stop with the hyperbole.....SeanT said:My lovely, funny, witty, brainy older daughter, age 11, has intense social anxiety and a slightly autistic fear of crowds. "Daddy will we get murdered in town"??
That's the kind of question she asks. We assure her she is being paranoid.
We took her to Borough Market to help her deal with this. She had a lovely time and we all made bread in the market and then she and me had a sweet picnic on Regent's Park.
A gorgeous day.
Tomorrow she will wake up and read and hear this news, and know that she was in the very bar that got shot up by these fucking scum. And she will think her fears are genuine.
It's a tiny tiny thing. It's not a tragedy for us. Our trauma is microscopic compared to people who have been actually hurt, or killed.
But Jesus this hits home because it menaces my kids and enough, enough, enough. We have to fight back.0 -
Evening team.
Let's not get carried away. Terror is supposed to terrorise. Don't be terrorised. The MO of anyone committing a vehicle weapon attack is now to dismount the vehicle and continue the attack. That's what it looks like here. Not great, obvs, but not Mumbai either.
People must be street aware always now...is the sad reality.0 -

The Bombay/Mumbai thing was pure politics by the Indian Nationalists. As is entirely their right of course but the funny thing is of the 4 Indian friends I have who live in Bombay they all call it Bombay and take the piss out of me if I call it Mumbai.Casino_Royale said:
It is a source of constant argument within the city itself with the split being along political and some social lines. It is not the same as Bejing where all the locals actually call it that.0 -
Police cars still moving around. I reckon that the cordon may not have held, it's a very hard area to cordon out.0

Yep - good point. No more from me.Floater said:southam - nice of you to share but his employers might be pissed if they found out he was telling stuff like that.

Sounds like the gunfire was police shooting at knife wielders.0

I think there might be some ambiguity about this, and that Mumbadevi was actually a bit further around the bay - but I might well be thinking of Chennai/Madras, or one of the others. At any rate, I think these are murky waters...chrisb said:

We're already terrorised. If it leads to overreaction or over cautious non reaction, we've still been terrorised.TOPPING said:Evening team.
