forgive the shitty photos my phone camera is busted but loooook who showed up today! i ruined two whole fingernails doing those fucking feet transformations. but now. i can take him to work. and put him with my tarantulas :))) all i need is that fucking t30 springer now and i will have the whole horrible family.

How about where Levi, his s/o and their son (who's 15 and in the military) are coming back to HQ from a nice family outing. Their son is a lot like Levi (reserved, stoic, strong, and very protective over reader). They pass by some MPS and they make some rude comments about reader and Levi and his son quickly put them in their place. Double trouble ya know (reader loves her boys XD).

***NICE!!!!

💜Family💜

Y/N sighed as she walked back towards the base. It had been a fantastic day. One of the few that they got to spend together without their uniforms. She smiled as she watched the two most important men in her life walk in front of her. From their inky black hair to the same self assured prowl they walked with, Levi and Farlan were cut from the same cloth.

There were times she would have believed Levi had given birth the teenager, if that had been possible. From the moment she had laid eyes on their child, she knew that he was going to be a carbon copy of his father. Poor thing even had his father’s height, as her own diminutive stature hadn’t helped his cause.

Realizing they had gotten ahead of her, both had turned back to wait. She laughed as she looked at the bored expressions on their faces. The only true difference between Farlan and Levi was that Farlan had inherited Y/N’s eyes. She was proud of her son. 15 years old, he had just graduated from the Cadet Corps. Following his parents in the Survey Corps, Levi and Y/N had worried in the dark of the night like any other parent, but they were in a better position to protect him outside the walls. Not that Farlan appreciated it, but it was the pitfalls of being Humanity’s Strongest Soldier’s and Squad Lead Y/N’s only child.

Making their way back inside the gates, Y/N hadn’t been paying attention to the group of MP’s that were lounging around the nearby pub. But clear as a bell she heard the low, and surprisingly dangerous voice of her son.

“The fuck did you say about my mom, pig?” Her head whipped around to find Levi and Farlan glaring down the group of soldiers, fists clenched and stances ready to fight.

“You’re mom, eh? You don’t mind sharing her do you? We could show her a good time.” The brash MP looked young, too young to know exactly how much he would regret his words if he continued them.

“You don’t get to look at my wife, pig....Let alone speak about her, do it again and I’ll cut your shitty tongue out.” Levi spat out, clearly ready to bust some heads over her honor.

It was going to get dangerous in a moment if she didn’t diffuse the situation. She rushed back over to the pair and placed her arm on Levi’s shoulder.

“Captain Levi, you know that isn’t a good idea. Imagine all the paperwork.....too much of a bother really.” She could have laughed at the horror that crossed the MP’s face. While he may have been closer to 50 than 30, Levi was still a fierce soldier, feared for his strength and talent with a blade. He was still someone that no man would willing try to cross.

Making a quick, tongue tied apology, the group lit out, running for anywhere that wasn’t near the angry Captain. Y/N laughed as the two turned their intense stares on her.

“You two, you can’t just get into a fight for the hell of it.”

In unison her boys replied. “Why the fuck not?”

100 hari Din PM dapat pujian ramai kecuali UMNO,why?...

100 hari Din PM dapat pujian ramai kecuali UMNO,why?....

Din macam Bangla tak faham Bahasa Melayu...

Sempena 100 hari Muhyiddin Yassin menjadi Perdana Menteri pada 9 Jun lalu, ternampak begitu banyak puji-pujian dan sanjungan yang sengaja direka dikalungkan terhadapnya.Terutama media arus perdana, pengampu dalam media sosial, pensyarah universiti dan tidak terkecuali pemimpin Pas, mereka dilihat bukan main gigih lagi memberi pujian kepada Muhyiddin. Terlihat pujian dan sanjungan terhadap Muhyiddin ini melebihi apa yang pernah diterima oleh mana-mana Perdana Menteri sebelum ini ketika mereka melepasi tempoh 100 hari memegang jawatan tersebut. Tak tahulah, mungkin kerana kedudukan Muhyiddin yang tidak begitu stabil dan cara beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri pula tidak mengikut normal yang sepatutnya, bak kata Duta ke Timur Tengah bertaraf menteri – ikut tebuk atap – maka pujian dan sanjungan sebegitu rupa sengaja diolah untuk menenggelamkan ketidakstabilan yang ada. Ada yang mengatakan dalam tempoh 100 hari ini Muhyiddin telah berjaya mengemudi negara dengan cemerlang, tidak berpolitik, hanya fokus kepada rakyat, layak diberikan markah A, rakyat lebih gembira dan bermacam-macam lagi kata-kata pujian yang tentunya mampu membuatkan songkok di kepalanya jadi lebih ketat daripada biasa. Cuma yang agak sedikit musykil, tidak ternampak ada pemimpin UMNO turut ghairah memberi pujian kepada Muhyiddin berbanding rakan daripada Pas yang baru merasa nikmat jawatan dalam kerajaan.

Org kata  bebas rasuah bukan bebaskan perasuah...

Tetapi, jika kita jujur dan benar-benar melihat menggunakan kaca mata atau teropong yang putih bersih, bukan disaluti limpahan duniawi bertaraf menteri, benarkah Muhyiddin seorang Perdana Menteri yang boleh dikira berjaya dan layak diberi markah A? Benarkah juga beliau seorang Perdana Menteri yang tidak berpolitik dalam tempoh 100 hari, sebaliknya hanya mengutamakan rakyat semata-mata? Hakikat paling nyata ialah Muhyiddin belum teruji lagi kedudukannya kerana sejak menjadi Perdana Menteri, beliau bukan saja mengelak untuk mengadakan sidang Parlimen, malah tidak pernah sama sekali berdepan wartawan secara langsung. Dengan itu, kita tidak tahu sama ada beliau benar-benar ada sokongan majoriti atau sebaliknya. Lantaran tidak berani mengadakan sidang Parlimen, malah menangguhkan daripada 9 Mac kepada 18 Mei, kemudian menangguhkan sekali lagi kepada 13 Julai depan, itu pun belum dipastikan sama usul undi tidak percaya akan dibenar dibentang atau terus dihalang, tanggapan mudah ialah beliau masih tidak cukup sokongan di dalam Parlimen. Jika benar sudah ada sokongan, kenapa mesti menangguh-nangguhkan sidang Parlimen? Walaupun sudah 100 hari memegang kuasa, Muhyiddin juga satu-satunya Perdana Menteri yang tidak pernah berdepan secara langsung dengan wartawan. Beliau hanya berani muncul melalui perutusan khas beberapa kali di depan kamera dan tanpa pertanyaan wartawan kemudiannya. - Shahbudin Husin

Can we still look to Tun M 

for another miracle?...

PM Muhyiddin's effort to combat the coronavirus outbreak has been commendable, but unfortunately this alone is not going to assure him he can always keep his PM seat, nor his party PPBM remains solid as ever. While fighting the virus, he is also trying to rope in more elected reps, Indeed, there are too many political frogs constantly making noise in the midst, totally unprincipled, dishonorable and morally depraved. Tun M is not going to be left out as he is prowling to make a comeback soon. The thing is, how many people will place their trust on this old man again, save for Pakatan Harapan? To seize the lost power, PH will still opt to dance with the devil, knowing very well he could hardly be trusted. Anwar seems to have somewhat changed in recent weeks. He has started to get tough with Mahathir, having refused to meet him on several occasions and absented himself from press conferences he chaired. Party insiders say Anwar's tolerance for Mahathir has been stretched to a limit and he is not going to submit himself to the old man any more. We all know that Anwar's attitude will sooner or later soften for the sake of power. Expectedly, the two men met again before long. On June 10, Mahathir made a personal call at PKR headquarters to attend the PH meeting to discuss the PM candidate if PH++ gets to rule again. The PM post is the only palpable barrier standing in the way of PH–Mahathir cooperation. We have yet to see whether Anwar will make himself a fool once again. Given the current political chaos in the country, political frogs have become a tradable commodity. Both Mahathir and PH are racing against time to get elected reps on their side while seizing any available opportunity to talk the 18 GPS MPs into joining them, which will significantly boost their chances of returning to power. Mahathir's son Mukhriz has claimed that PH will form a new government before the parliamentary sitting resumes in July. Both PN and PH claim they have the numbers.

The numbers are, in reality, no longer important, as frogs can hop from one side to another and statutory declarations can be signed carelessly. Mahathir has said the numbers keep appearing and disappearing and he just doesn't know whether he has the numbers! Indeed, power will make one crazy, and once the sweet taste of power is savored, it will stay etched in the mind and be grabbed back at all costs if lost. In order to grab the power, many politicians have forgotten that the power entrusted to them actually comes from the rakyat, who are their real bosses. When power is at hand, they become arrogant and would indiscriminately abuse that power. Mahathir is now working very hard to recapture that power from the hands of Muhyiddin. In addition to getting more MPs to support him, he also challenges Muhyiddin in the court over the termination of party membership of him and four others. He insists he is still the party's legitimate chairman. Muhyiddin not only needs to put up a good show in combating the virus, he also has tons of political challenges to face. To consolidate PPBM's position in the ruling coalition, he has proposed to register PN as a formal alliance, but that does not seem to work out quite nicely. Majority of PPBM leaders and members were from Umno, both parties sharing very identical DNA. No one can tell for sure MPs defecting to PPBM post-GE14 will not go back to Umno one day. Which side will these people stand if a snap election is called soon, or if Muhyiddin's administration would last until the next general election is due?

There were as many as 46 parliamentary seats that saw three-cornered fights among Umno, PAS and PPBM in GE14. Of these seats, PPBM only won ten while Umno and PAS took 30 and six respectively. It will be inconceivable for Muhyiddin to get Umno to hand over these seats to his party, and pro-Mahathir former education minister Maszlee Malik is skeptical PPBM can even retain the existing ten seats. The fundamental support bases of these three parties are all Malay-dominant constituencies. Once the Parliament is dissolved, all these parties will be operating on their own. Neither Umno nor PAS is going to negotiate seat allocation with you! Muhyiddin was unlucky enough to have assumed the PM post at a time the country's coronavirus outbreak was on the verge of an explosive growth. And with the virus now somewhat under control, he has to muster all his energy to tackle the siege from PH and Mahathir. Mahathir has never absented himself from the Malaysian governments during the past four decades. Save for his 22 years as prime minister, he also made himself visible during Abdullah's and Najib's administrations. He took out Abdullah to install Najib, and then took out the latter to become PM himself, again. This February, his rushy resignation killed the PH administration, and he was then fighting to get reinstated. He will not call it a day until Muhyiddin—the unpresumable eighth prime minister who betrayed and unseated him—is taken out of office. Mahathir still has the clout, and is now making advances towards becoming the country's ninth prime minister, another world record indeed! But, can we still look to him to deliver another miracle? - Pook Ah Lek, Sin Chew Daily

Najib's Races Plans Into Action 

To Get Off The Hook?...

The moves to get charges dropped against UMNO’s warlords appear to have moved into urgent top gear – is this a sign that the coup coalition fears time may be running out? Yesterday the former AG Apandi (who in 2016 declared that the 1MDB investigation proved no evidence of wrongdoing whilst waving the incriminating evidence for all to see) was once more put to work seeking to allege the prosecutor in Najib’s 1MDB trial was compromised. Now, it has emerged, Najib’s allies immediately headed down to the police station reporting alleged ‘treason’ against former PM Mahathir Mohamad in connection with the issue!

Tactic to excuse charges being dropped After years of silence on such matters Apandi made his surprise intervention claiming that the prosecutor leading the case against Najib in the 1MDB trial, Gopal Sri Ram, was somehow compromised because, according to Apandi, Sri Ram asked him whilst he was Attorney General to proceed against Najib over 1MDB back before the GE14 election. In short, it appears that Sri Ram, a former federal judge, had advised Apandi to do his job. It may seem a stretch, but the coup conspirators need some sort of fig leaf to excuse evident plans to use the hijacking of the Malaysian government to drop the multiple charges of theft against Najib and fellow UMNO warlords and it seems they have chosen this. Naturally, they have made their attack as aggressive as possible suggesting that it is Mahathir and Sri Ram* who should be jailed, not the man who accepted stolen billions of public money into his private bank accounts. According to the police report, placed by UMNO Supreme Council Member Lokman Adam (who has been charged with contempt for threatening witnesses at Najib’s trial): “The previous AG Tan Sri Apandi revealed a part of his book that Gopal Sri Ram, a retired Judge, had passed on Dr Mahathir’s request that Apandi arrest and charge Najib, the PM at that time. When asked why Najib had to be arrested and charged, Gopal replied that this was to be done for no reason as many people would like it. The actions of Gopal were treacherous because they were tantamount to bringing down a legitimate government. Apandi’s revelations are serious and worry me because as soon as Dr. Mahathir became PM, he appointed Gopal Sri Ram as the prosecutor involving the cases of Najib and Rosmah. The purpose of this report is to enable the police to investigate the truth of Apandi’s statement in view of the fact that he has CCTV coverage as proof and also witnesses in support. If true, Dr, Mahathir and Gopal Sri Ram have to face justice.” [English translation] This may seem ridiculous, however Najib’s artful lawyers will doubtless concoct a tale of prejudice over which they plan to troop into their newly appointed AGs office to demand charges be dropped. Then they will hope for relative plain sailing steered by money and connections.

Najib makes new attempt to disqualify Sri Ram as prosecutor

Once ‘Bosku’ is back and distributing his stolen cash again, according to this script, charges can indeed be brought against all the people who earlier sought to bring him to book. Ideally, they will hope to achieve all this without calling Parliament at all (it has already been illegally prorogued under ’emergency’ declarations by the PM without a mandate). If necessary, they will aim for a Covid election inflamed by the racial tensions they have stoked for years to cover up their criminal activities. This move doesn’t get Najib off his SRC case, of course, which has a separate legal team or Rosmah off her cases either. However, now the ball is set rolling the legal network is already abuzz with talk of pressure being brought to bear in all directions. This was how Najib/BN operated pre-GE14 as the country knows. They think money and establishment friends will help them pull it off. Rosmah herself has set the tone, with the angry announcements emerging yesterday that her Hermes bag collection (which she has plainly been set on getting back) has been tainted by markers made by police. They are branded forever as criminal items, which might spoil it for her if she tried to sport them publicly once more. An independent police force would, of course, dismiss this discredited UMNO bigwig’s interventions. BN/PN bullies will press their case with Najib’s high stakes gamble to overturn the verdict of GE14 and cheat the rule of law. - Sarawak Report

Expert: The attack outside and inside London’s Westminster Parliament just before 4 pm local time on Wednesday 22nd March resulted in five deaths, including the assailant and forty injured. The confirmed British-born attacker, Adrian Elms – but with a number of alias’ including the much quoted Khalid Masood – drove a grey Hyundai SUV over Westminster Bridge, which spans the River Thames as it flows past Parliament, mounting the pavement and mowing down pedestrians crossing the great span, with it’s panoramic city views. Some forty people were injured, twenty nine treated in hospital, with seven initially in a critical condition. Speaking in Parliament the next morning Prime Minister Theresa May listed the injured including twelve Britons, three of whom were police officers returning from an Award ceremony, three French children, two Romanians, four South Koreans, one Pole, one Irish, one Chinese, one Italian, an American and two Greeks. Killed was American Kurt Cochran who ran a recording studio from his home in Utah who, with his wife, Melissa, had been touring Germany, Scotland and Ireland before arriving in London to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.  It was the last day of their visit. Melissa was seriously injured. Also killed was Aysha Frade, originally from the municipality of Betanzos, Spain, an administrator and Spanish teacher at a nearby College, on her way to collect her daughters, aged eight and eleven, from school. Seventy five year old Londoner, Leslie Rhodes also died from his injuries the following night. The car turned left at the end of the bridge, driving outside the Parliament building, crashing in to the wrought iron railings. The driver then ran through gates in to the New Palace Yard entrance, just below Big Ben, reportedly armed with two knives, fatally wounding unarmed Parliamentary Protection Officer and former soldier, PC Keith Palmer who attempted to stop him. An act of courage and compassion came from MP Tobias Ellwood, Minister for Middle East and Africa, who gave CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to PC Palmer, in spite of the chaos breaking out after the attacker was shot, ignoring possible threat to his own safety. Ellwood’s attempts failed and his bent body as he looked down at Keith Palmer, his mouth and face smeared with Palmer’s blood as the cuffs of his formerly immaculate shirt and suit are both a haunting image of grief and a tribute to one who gave no thought but to trying to save a familiar face. There was courage from countless police, paramedics, doctors and nurses who rushed unhesitatingly towards potential danger with emergency equipment from the nearby hospital to help the injured. Ellwood himself is no stranger to violent tragedy having lost his brother Jonathan in the 2002 Bali bombing. He wrote a searing account of dealing with the seemingly endless official bureaucratic “red tape” involved in both countries in trying to bring his brother’s body home whilst stricken with grief. “I actually ended up nailing the lid of the coffin down myself,” he said. “That can’t be right.” Not everyone showed the courage of Mr. Ellwood and others. As Parliament went in to total lockdown with MPs and all staff trapped inside for hours, The Guardian reported: Theresa May, the Prime Minister, was rushed into a car 40 yards from the gates outside Parliament where shots were fired minutes after the incident occurred, according to footage filmed by a member of staff. She was ushered by at least eight armed undercover police, some with their firearms drawn, into a waiting black vehicle in Speaker’s Court, the footage seen by The Guardian shows. Loud bangs can be heard in the background as she is ushered into the car, but it is unclear whether the bangs were gunshots. Safely back in her official residence, behind Downing Street’s fortified walls and soaring iron gates, guarded by colleagues of PC Palmer, she paid tribute to the emergency services: “ … these exceptional men and women ran towards the danger even as they encouraged others to move the other way.” She talked of terrorists targeting Parliament because they hated the “values our Parliament represents – democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law” and the “spirit of (it’s engendered) freedom that echoes in some of the furthest corners of the globe.” It has to be wondered whether those still under bombardment from the UK or its ally the US, in Afghanistan after sixteen years, Iraq after fourteen years, in Libya, Syria, Yemen; Palestinians remembering the decimation the Balfour Declaration has wrought on them for generations – when May had declared that in this, its centenary year, it is to be remembered in special UK “celebrations” – share quite such a starry eyed view of the “values”, “human rights” and “freedoms” etc., emanating from ”the Mother of Parliaments.” She concluded: Any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. Tomorrow morning, Parliament will meet as normal. We will come together as normal. And Londoners – and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great City – will get up and go about their day as normal. They will board their trains, they will leave their hotels, they will walk these streets, they will live their lives. And we will all move forward together. Never giving in to terror. Breathtaking stuff from the woman who gave in instantly, running away, protected by eight armed guards, in a bullet proof limo, rather than remaining in solidarity with her colleagues and the extensive staff who were in lockdown, not knowing whether further unhinged potential assassins were prowling Parliament. No doubt if challenged she would say that such an emergency demanded she convened the COBRA group – another silly acronym which refers to the crisis response committee that meets in instances of national or regional crisis. However, there are plenty of telephones in Parliament and an on line conference is not exactly rocket science. The following morning she told MPs: Yesterday an act of terrorism tried to silence our democracy, but today we meet as normal, as generations have done before us and as future generations will continue to do, to deliver a simple message: ‘We are not afraid and our resolve will never waver in the face of terrorism’. Her “resolve” it seems not so much “never wavered”. It collapsed in a pile of dust. What a contrast to President Bashar al Assad and his wife, who with their children, have never fled in terrorist attacks on their country ongoing since March 2011, terrorist attacks which include entirely illegal, massive bombings by UK and US air power. See, for example, for just one month’s UK decimation from the UK government’s very own horse’s mouth. A week before the Westminster attack a suicide bomber blew himself up in the Syrian capitol, Damascus, Palace of Justice killing reportedly thirty nine people. President al-Assad and his wife stayed put in their residence in the city. Their “resolve” has absolutely “never wavered in the face of terrorism”, indeed “never giving in to terror”, plotted from inside the US Embassy in Damascus in 2006 and in Washington well before.  He has been called by the US, UK and their allies a tyrant, a despot and a war criminal. The Western backed “moderate” head choppers are now a mere several kilometres distance from Damascus, still the first family remain. “I was born in Syria and I will die in Syria”, the President has stated. Given that Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi also refused to abandon their people in the face of Western onslaughts and remembering their terrible fates, whatever observers varying views, it is undeniable Assad shows a particular kind of towering courage seemingly rare in the West. George W. Bush, of course, on 9/11, although already over 1,000 miles away in Florida, was rushed to a top-secret military bunker in Louisiana. Not alone the standards but the language differs in the West. Attacks in Paris, Brussels, Nice, London, are undoubtedly “terrorism.” In Syria attacks of enormity are declared “a rebel offensive” usually quotes provided by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights which is allegedly funded by the EU and another government, thought to be the UK. The founder, Rami Abdulrahman, with a couple of other aliases “… has direct access to former (UK) Foreign Minister William Hague, who he has been documented meeting in person on multiple occasions at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London and shares (Abdulrahman’s) enthusiasm for removing Assad from power.” The reaction to an attack in the West also differs. The UK Prime Minister’s office received condolences from Heads of State across the globe. The lights of the Eiffel Tower were shut off at midnight, Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate was lit, in marks of sympathy. President Putin also conveyed his condolences, in spite of the street level insults he has received from the British parliamentary establishment. The UN Security Council observed a minute’s silence in respect of a tragic, horrific incident, but nevertheless one which would be an unusually quiet day in any of the countries the UK is enjoining in occupying, bombing or has invaded. A friend also commented succinctly: ‘If “terrorists will not succeed” in the UK and other Western countries, why should the West expect the Syrian government and its allies to allow the Western, GCC, Israeli-backed terrorists, to succeed in Syria and seize control of the country after six years of global terror?’ Terrorists from up to ninety countries gaining access via the borders left open by the occupiers of Iraq from the time of the 2003 invasion and via NATO ally Turkey’s borders and blind eyes. Coincidentally, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had said on the morning of the Westminster attack, after a series of verbal spats with European countries, that: “If Europe continues this way, no European in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets. Europe will be damaged by this.” A few hours later he stated that: “Turkey feels and shares deeply in the United Kingdom’s pain” and that it stood in “solidarity” with Britain “in the fight against terrorism.” If “a week is a long time in politics”, so, clearly, is six hours. In Iraq in just two “catastrophic” “liberation” assaults on Mosul’s ancient, beautiful city, US “coalition” bombings killed up to three hundred and fifty souls, wiping out entire families in the week before London’s one man attack: “Journalists saw children and a pregnant woman among at least 50 bodies recovered from the rubble, with limbs and shoes protruding from destroyed houses.” No condolences from world leaders, no Eiffel Tower or Brandenburg Gate markings for them. A spokesman for the US led Mosul slaughter: Operation Inherent Resolve”, responded with: “The coalition respects human life, which is why we are assisting our Iraqi partner forces in their effort to liberate their lands from ISIS brutality. He has clearly forgotten what the US has demonstrated in Iraq – with a brief break – fourteen years of their “respect for human life” – and the comment from a bewildered senior US military man to Major General Antonio Taguba during his investigation into the horrors, torture and death inflicted by US forces at Abu Ghraib: “But they were only Iraqis.” Another friend provided me unwittingly with the conclusion for this inadequate piece on towering double standards. Thank you: Do we not all bleed the same? 8/3 Kabul, Afghanistan – 49 dead. Silence 9/3 Tikrit, Iraq – 30 dead. Silence 11/3 Damascus, Syria – 74 dead. Silence 15/3 Damascus, Syria – 40 dead. Silence 16/3 Al-Jineh, Syria – 46 dead. Silence 21/3 Raqqa, Syria – 33 dead. Silence 21/3 Westminster, London – 5 dead. 22/3 Mosul, Iraq – 240 dead. Silence They say we are all born equal. But only the (Western deemed) “worthy” die as humans. The others are simply forgotten. UK residents have responded with generosity to funds for Westminster’s injured and grieving families with large sums being raised including £500,000 for the family of PC Palmer. Muddassar Ahmed set up the Muslims United for London page after witnessing the attack from Parliament’s Portcullis House: “I happened to be trapped inside the building yesterday, and saw the carnage …” His appeal raised £3,000 in the first hour. Last weekend hundreds of Muslim women joined hands along Westminster Bridge in memory and solidarity – as the UK continues to bomb or threaten many of their countries. Their gesture should both humble and shame. And since the perpetrator of the London attack is dead, it will likely never be known whether it was a coincidence that the attack was on the first anniversary of three suicide bombers killing thirty-two people and injuring three hundred and sixteen in Brussels on 22nd March 2016. In another coincidence, on 19th March, armed anti-terror police carried out “a terrifyingly realistic” boat drill a little further down the Thames: A sightseeing vessel became the scene of a fierce mock-gun battle between armed officers and police volunteers posing as terrorists shortly after 11am on Sunday … At least one “body”, played by a police volunteer, was cast overboard, and officers were deployed in an effort to assess the effectiveness of rescue operation tactics in life-like conditions.’ The multi-agency operation was carried out between the Met, the Port of London Authority, London Coastguard, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade. Police stressed that there was no specific threat but with London on high alert for two years: “I do hope there is a deterrent effect in this when they see how effective our people are.” After last Wednesday’s attack Romanian architect Andreea Cristea was pulled from the Thames, alive but badly injured. It is uncertain whether she jumped to escape the car or fell off in the chaos. On the day of the 7th July 2005 London tube and bus bombings, Visor Security were running a live exercise outside every tube station affected. Managing Director Peter Power told the BBC: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now. Tragic fact really can truly be stranger than fiction. http://clubof.info/
