Telegraph says 3 dead to in hospital.

[ummmm]

I think Mamy was being sarcastic :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Yes - it very soon stops being a report of a dreadful stabbing and becomes more about the origins of the attacker and which media outlet is more biased than the other.

I've said enough.

Those poor families.

[Mozz71]

I misread your post Mamya, I see what you meant now, and utterly agree.

[Theland]

What a shocking tragedy.
Well done the police for a prompt arrest.
So much sympathy for innocent folk trying to demomstrate for justice, and so sorry for the victims' loved ones.

[tiggerblue10]

Just awful. Devastating for their poor families.

Glad an arrest has been made.

[royfromaus]

Rugby tackled by a PC.

An officer with balls...as it should be.

[Spicerack]

Should people keep their mouths shut for the sake of diversity?

[Theland]

Maybe. Probably.

//A friend of ours recently found to her horror that her neighbour had been arrested for murder. Now she's desperate to move.//

Why?

//Arrest made// //Well done the police for a prompt arrest.//

Good job they got in quick, then, before the BLM leader has the meeting he has "demanded" with the Prime Minister. Among his demands, it seems, will be that the police be "defunded".

[Gromit]

Police are not treating it as terror related at the moment, though the terror unit are in the loop as regard to information gathered about the arrested suspect.
I presume then that it is another mentally ill person.

Forbury Gardens looks like a delightful venue for a future Tommy Robinson fundraising stunt - coming soon.

Now terror related, it's a shocker right enough.

//I presume then that it is another mentally ill person. //

this could be one of those incidents that the police abolitionists may cite in their favour - perpetrator as victim, and not arrested but having social workers and heath advocates visited unto them.

// The BLM Tarquin and Cressida rioters must be well brassed orf that something serious has happened that to distract from ‘the cause’//

oh do we HAVE to drag the white supremacy side of things into EVERY thread these days ?

andway I am not sure if Cressida Dick wd wish to be identified with BLM - unbiassed policing etc

now decalred a terrorist incident wh give the police more powers to arrest innit? and hold suspects for longer

[Gromit]

// The arrested man had previously been in prison in the UK for a relatively minor conviction, not a terrorism offence, sources told the BBC. //

Radicalised in prison? Wouldn’t be the first one.

[douglas9401]

Pretty sure 'Tarquin and Cressida' are catchall names for the eager middle class supporters, Peter.

[Deskdiary]

They are indeed. No doubt they were with extinction rebellion last year. They’ll be at something else next year.

[Spicerack]

What meaning does your post have, gromit?
It's only his first terrorist offence.
It's our fault he became radicalised.
You actually believe something you heard on the BBC.

[Gromit]

Spicerack
His previous offence was not for terrorism is clearly a fact. The BBC have not made that up, they have been told it, presumably by the police.
He goes to prison, and when he gets out he commits terrorists murders. So yes, it is speculation on my part that he was radicalised in prison. Not to excuse the crime, or make it our fault (it isn’t), but because several other muslim terrorists have gone down that route. Banged up for petty crimes, put on a muslim wing in chokey, and come out a fully formed brainwashed nutjob.

Just wondering what relatively minor conviction carries a prison sentence these days?
