Those people who tried to disarm the suspect on London Bridge, and the guy who was literally on top of him (while the suspect was wearing what turned out to be a hoax explosive belt but he didn’t know that then) are INCREDIBLE and COURAGEOUS and AMAZING https://t.co/7by1mU3slB

Several people were stabbed, at least 2 fatally, in a "terrorist incident", the police said. The police shot and killed a man on London Bridge who appeared to have been wearing “a hoax explosive device.” https://t.co/3eyfYkojZ3

We popped into a Totnes Pub for a pizza on way home tonight.
A big group of women came in for a shindig. When they had settled and sorted themselves out, one of them said, 'I want to propose a toast to the London police, all police, plus the police dogs and horses.
Big cheer. https://t.co/1UVaKdJG4d— Richard St Ruth (@RSR108) November 29, 2019

Glorious by @MarinaHyde. "This election marks a change of behaviour for the PM, who has finally started withdrawing. Unfortunately, he’s pulling out of debates and interviews, as opposed to single mothers. Still, baby steps. He’s missed a few of those."https://t.co/Uslib7H66E

At least some GOP House members would "like to step out" against Trump "but they just can't because of their base at the moment."
Translated, they CAN step out against Trump but care more about themselves and staying in office than doing the right thing.https://t.co/59qheoI9Gh

Human history stretched back 10,000 years, and those millennia were physically stable, so it made emotional sense to assume that stability would stretch forward as well as past.
