My feelings exactly.

Really? So in this situation how else should the unarmed copper (as appears the case) have acted? Seems like a sensible response to me.

Gah. I swear you're plugged into the matrix you swine. You put the eek! in geek.

You know NickFitz said he worked for Yahoo! ? He never said what as...

Yes it is - there's an A-board by the door there, clearly saying "The Cut" in big letters at the top

Named The Cut, promoted as such within the Young Vic, not from outside.

Meh. That's the bar in the Young Vic (Obvious duly stated). Named The Cut, promoted as such within the Young Vic, not from outside. T'locals round ere don't refer to it as such, and the shooting happened outside the tube station. It's more plausible to me that the Beeb made a stuff-up, as per.

What utter numpties at the Beeb.

The Cut is not a bar - it's a street. The shots were outside Southwark Station and the man ran down The Cut to escape. He was on a bicycle, police recognised him, and he pulled a gun out and shot at the officers.

BBC news ticker said a policeman had suffered a cut cheek.

Probably sustained when he "dived for cover"

Funny how the police are so tough when confronted with unarmed individuals (or those carrying chair legs) but when a real gunman shows up they all chicken out. Classic. Wouldn't be surprised if the clowns shot each other.

UR sure.

I am sure - maybe they drafted in the nearest SO19 officers - who knows.

All gone quiet - road still sealed off, dog units (perhaps 10 dogs) being prepped outside.

It's all over twitter at #Southwark

sky news have it covered

Keep your head down RH - "Martyrlike" wouldn't really suit you.

[HairyArsedBloke]

No kidding. Everyone is locked in the building, the whole road cordened off, armed police everywhere.

Apparently some nutter fired upon a couple of police officers. Looks like half the City of London police are outside. Helicopter overhead. One of the police snipers requested access to clientco's roof.

By Southwark station - checking the Beeb for coverage now.

UR sure.
