Apparent concerns in the Saudi regime in the past and apparent warnings to Germany from them,BBC.
Non specific though.

I was at a market in Northern France a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you, there is no way any vehicle attack was getting anywhere near either of two huge adjacent market places. There were concrete barriers on nearly all access points, and the others, which were emergency access routes (as this attack exploited), were covered by movable barriers which are capable of stopping a truck, and all manned by groups of four armed police or military.

Is this an expected thing now, do they have this level of security in Broadgate for example?

This has about as much meaning as an American supermarket cashier telling you to have a nice day

No, the Cov Ring Road junctions offer great protection against any terrorist attacks

I don't know about Broadgate, but there will be *some* measures in place. At Warwick Uni, the potential "crowded spaces" are designed in consultation with Counter-Terrorism police to reduce the possibility/impact of vehicle attacks. It's all very subtle but very effective, i understand.

Just find it impossible to comprehend someone’s mindset to something like this

Man arrested after four pedestrians injured in London crash

Police say one of the pedestrians is in a life-threatening condition.

Sounds more targeted than the German one but it's no excuse.

There was one in Brum a couple of years back wasn’t there outside a club too?

I wonder if these people show up on anything before or just flip out. Not sure what you can do to stop someone flipping out in a car. Other than build everything terrorist proof but fuck that quite frankly

Distinct lack of outrage from the usual suspects on this particular appalling incident, wonder why.

Attempted murder charge after four hit by car in London’s West End on Christmas Day

One victim remains in a critical condition in hospital following the incident, police said

And was already disqualified from driving. The fact that after whatever the initial argument was he must have gone back to his car, thought it over and decided this was a good idea somehow makes it even more horrific.

Horrific, sounds like it could have been much worse as well, they've found something they are currently referring to as a "possible explosive device"

The problem now is that this is becoming such a regular occurrence that it's not even huge news or surprising. Shrug and move on. Sad times and a horrible world we live in.
