    The French police have got their hands full with all this stuff going on at the same time, horrible time for the French people.

    Just heard it was an Eagles Of Death Metal concert. I'm very fearful that some people I know are caught up in this....

    Is this confirmed as Eagles of Death Metal?? :open_mouth:
    that's who was meant to be playing tonight at that concert hall.



    hope the people you know are Ok @Callumcafc and you can get hold of them soon I presume the phone networks are struggling over in Paris
    My friends are out ok, though a person they were with has been hit but not seriously. A personal relief but bloody scary... Just got to hope there's no further casualties.

    I could be being paranoid but I just heard a loud bang. Hope it's not kicking off over here too!

    You have to assume the police and army were still on a very high state of alert.

    Here's the latest we have on the attacks in Paris:

    Dozens of people are dead after multiple shootings in the French capital

    Between 60 and 100 people are reportedly being held hostage at the Bataclan arts centre

    Three explosions were reported outside a bar near the Stade de France, where France were playing Germany in a football match

    French President Francois Hollande has declared a state of emergency and closed the country's borders

    Paris authorities have asked people to stay indoors

    This is absolutely horriffic. Imagine going to Brixton Academy or Kentish Town Forum to see a band you like and being taken hostage and slaughtered.

    Terrifying.

    This is exactly the situation. Le Bataclan is a Paris venue very much in that category. Awful, awful.

    I am sad there are billions of people in the world who follow the rantings of supposed enlightened people, dead several millenia ago, who had enhanced views on how us humans should behave according to their twisted morality.

    Had these immortals aired their views on Charlton Life, they would be in the doghouse with Colin, Reams and others subject to our excellent moderators.

    If you're implying what I think you might be, I would bet most of what I have that these terrorists were home grown and not caused by the recent influx, not that they won't go on to do similar things of course...

    This is why our emergency services are so important in today's climate.

    I hope they get the fuckers who are doing this, bring them to justice and not afford them the justice they gave to Jihadi John, who is now going to be seen as a martyr by his comrades.

    I think they closed borders as the girlfriend involved in the last one just upped and left and went to turkey I think.

    Foreign policy and demographic of the people.

    Been happening for years in France - was it 1995 there was an Islamic bombing? Sure there has long been a significant North African anti-western under current in the Country.

    I would imagine, like the rest of us, she is greatly saddened about what is going on and feeling for the people killed and their friends and families.

    If you are trying to link the large influx of migrants into Europe with people who are terrorists and murderers then that is plain wrong. We can discuss and argue and disagree about the rights and wrongs of migration policy. And we can argue about whether those people are being forced to move due to poverty and danger or for economic reasons. But to equate them with murderous thugs is stupid.

    And our intelligence services. And it shows how important it is that they should not have their ability to perform surveillance to help prevent these types of attacks.

    A lot of communication and preparation must have taken place to plan 6 or 7 simultaneous attacks. You have to wonder how the French intelligence service did not pick anything up.

    Apparently there are gunshots currently in the theatre. And apparently 2 explosions were suicide bombings...
