In what is an incredibly distressing time for the London community, Donald Trump’s oldest son is being slammed for an inappropriate tweet about the attacks.
What a callous reaction from Sadiq Khan I hear you say – except it’s not.
It’s an article from seven months ago in which the mayor pleaded with Londoners to be vigilant about the dangers of living in a big city after a bombing in New York left him with “many sleepless nights”.
Khan said London had to be prepared for similar attacks and “that means being vigilant, having a police force that is in touch with communities, it means the security services being ready, but it also means exchanging ideas and best practice.”
Donald Trump Jr’s choice to share the article with no context or reference to the publication date has been met with incredulity and derision from social media.
Tom Coates was a little more direct with his dismissal of the president’s son’s tweet.
The facts are still coming through about exactly what happened during the attacks and we’ll keep you updated.
