"It’s so terrible sad that once again this has happened. This time not in your usual central London location. It’s a horrible development but I hope the people stabbed will survive"
I was just saying this to Ash.
It's awful but won't stop us going about our business. |

I agree and I am always more nervous after something like this. I'm a very new Londoner so still finding my feet. |

"what drives someone to do this?"
I’d like to say they are not well but that would mean their not entirely responsible for their actions, and I think that is the wrong thing to say. Part of me wishes these people wasn’t shot dead, at least then we could gain insight into their actions |

Just as I get older I find London can be cold and unfriendly in many ways, however other times I love the 24 hour culture and the hustle and bustle |

"I’ll probably wake up tomorrow loving London again! Just having a bad day maybe lol"
Again I totally get that. I love London but I sometimes worry about moving there. Not because of incidents like this but because it's big, busy and noisy.
But other times I love that it's big, busy and noisy. |

It can be essential if you’re busy and you need to get somewhere quickly, buses are slow in central London. Don’t know what part of East London you’re moving to but if you need to get the Central Line in rush hour it can be jam packed. Like sardines in a tin |

Coronavirus too in Paddington?? "
Not confirmed but I have an interesting story.... a friend of mines daughter was in hospital before Xmas with an cold and upper respiratory issues. She was kept in for a few days then released. Her mum recently looked again at her discharge notes and guess what? It listed Coronavirus as the cause of illness!!! She phoned her GP this week because she was concerned and he said it’s a virus people frequently get in this country, but the concern at the moment is that this is a stronger strain of it |

I know it’s bad but I looked at some statistics. Around 200 people have died in the last month from Coronavirus across the world, however on average 42,000 people die each month from Flu worldwide |

It is essential that people don't stop living and working in London because of a group of crazed individuals.
I remember when the IRA used to have the mainland bombing campaign and armed guards on Tower Bridge. The only difference being that the intelligence service would get a coded message.
I work near London Bridge and after the stabbing late last year yes it was eerie walking to the station get home. Restaurants closed and buses stopped in the middle of the road with hazards still blinking.
The most important thing is that we don't let them stop us living the free life that so many fought for.
I also hope that the victims today are on the mend very soon |

There is that and I understand how difficult that must be for you. You have to try and grasp the positives of what an enriched arts and cultural city they are privileged to grow up in.
I had a friend killed in a car crash this week and another friend been diagnosed with a brain tumour. The sad thing about life is it is so , excuse the profanity, fucking random that you don't know what is around the corner. |

It’s nearer 10 mil now
I’ve lived and worked in central London for 35 years and not witnessed or been caught up in any trouble. I’m more likely to get hit by a bus or cyclist

You live in Glasgow, a place that was once known as the murder capital of Europe...I assume you just never leave your house
I feel safer wondering around central London late night/early morning than I would wandering around a suburban town centre |
