    Nigel Farage says UKIP is right to keep campaigning in the aftermath of the London attack

    The former UKIP leader told BBC Radio 5 live's John Pienaar: "The Prime Minister said we must not let terrorism affect our lives, it must not stop the democratic process, then in the next sentence she says we're going to suspend campaigning... we have to continue with the democratic process, it's what our country is about."

    Liberal Democrat peer Brian Paddick, who was also on the programme, responded that there "[needed] to be a period of respect for the dead... and if you can't stop campaigning for one day to show respect for that we're morally lost".

  4. 'I had to do something – I went to get help'published at 13:27 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Michael Territt, who is 40 and from London, was having dinner when he saw people who were stabbed lying on the floor outside.

    Quote Message

    I saw people on the floor, and another person slumped and someone screaming for help. I saw two men holding their backs - they were badly bleeding. I had to do something – I went to High Street to get help. I got the attention of one policeman and a medic and I said, 'We need help down here in the restaurant.' They came to the restaurant, and the shutters were then pulled down because we know someone was running around stabbing people. Everyone was panicking. People were shouting about terrorism and were upset. My adrenalin was pumping – but I just wanted to keep everyone calm and try to get through the situation. It was horrible, one victim was getting CPR, and he wasn’t responding – someone was losing their life, how do you witness that?”
