Soldier murdered in terrorist incident in Woolwich

I thought they rescinded the order not to leave camp in uniform this morning.

Presumably they'll fly him back every so often to show face round courts and prisons to show he is still alive.

The soldier has been named as 25 year old Lee Rigby. He had a 2 year old son named Jack.

Ministry of Defence says the soldier killed on Wednesday was Drummer Lee Rigby, of 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (attached to the Regimental Recruiting Team in London).

one minute it's carry on as you were, and don't let them see that you're inconvenienced.
the next it's as above, but try not to offend them.

it's not about not offending anyone, Gary, it's about not being seen as a target by a nutter.

But you probably knew that.

It's both.

it's soldiers having to be discrete because there's a high risk that it may happen again.

they're not targets for wearing a uniform. they're targets for being a soldier and what they stand for.

Why is Dave taking the opportunity to praise that woman who spoke with the killers?

I'll tell you why. it's so he can say say she told them that it's you against many, and you'll lose.

and Boris said that the public are safe to walk the streets.

that's what the dead soldier thought too.

So contrary to some posted assertions from last night on this forum that this was someone who had just committed a murder, it now seems to me that this was planned before hand and that means it was premeditated.

What is your point? The soldier and the woman are both impressive people who deserve our respect.

Terror experts said the kidnapping in Britain of a serving soldier, filming his ritual beheading and posting it on the internet has long been an “aspiration” of British-based Al Qaeda-inspired jihadists.

GaryL thinks everything Dave says is related to some sort of conspiracy theory
