Badenenoch has put her oar in saying there's 'something serious wrong with society.' IS she referring to the need to recognise the high levels of schizophrenia among black males of Caribbean origin? Or was she making a piss poor guess that it was terrorist related so could stir the shit with Muslims?

[Oboogie]

Not even immigrants - let alone Asylum seekers -, or Muslims, or terrorists, the far-right will be crying into their breakfast Stellas today.

"At this stage there is nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident"

"At this stage would not be appropriate to speculate on the motivations of this incident."

What do you expect from a singularly useless individual that seemingly spends her entire life on X?

Not a serious politician. Get rid.

Their heritage, religion and nationality are irrelevant. They're not white, therefore they're not British, therefore close the borders remigration NOW Starmermustresign.

And again, we are left wondering what the criteria are for something like this to be recognised as "a terrorist incident" or "not a terrorist incident".

It looks a bit fucking terrifying to me.

Huntingdon's MP Ben Obese-Jecty is a former soldier from a mixed race background and a rare moderate Tory voice who pushes back against Reform's racist sewerage. Hung on to the seat again a strong Labour challenge. A relief its him and not a cunt like Jenrick who has to step up in the face of this tragedy.

[Abernathy]

From Jack Dart on the Fleecebook:

When the Huntingdon train stabbings took place, the facts were not yet known. In those first hours, confusion was understandable. What followed was not. Before police had confirmed anything, social media erupted with claims of terrorism, border failure and government betrayal. Verified accounts spoke of civil war, demanded mass deportations, and even called on Donald Trump and Elon Musk to sanction the United Kingdom. The speculation spread faster than any official statement.
As the night went on, details became clearer. Two British nationals, both born in the UK, were arrested. Police said there was nothing to suggest terrorism. Ten people were taken to hospital, nine with life-threatening injuries, after an assailant began stabbing passengers on a London-bound train. Witnesses described panic and bravery as others stepped in. None of this stopped the hysteria.
Far-right accounts carried on regardless. Hashtags accusing Keir Starmer of having “blood on his hands” trended across X, reaching hundreds of thousands of users. The same networks that spread lies during the Southport riots recycled their tactics, exploiting uncertainty to stir resentment. The truth was still emerging while others were already turning it into a political campaign.
This was never about the victims or the truth. It became a way to pour fuel on the lie that Islam is a threat to Britain and that immigration is a cause of violence. Those claims spread even after police confirmed the attackers were British. People were still in hospital while agitators used their suffering to justify prejudice and call for mass deportations. The violence in Huntingdon was horrific, but the attempt to use it to divide the country was a different kind of assault, one that continues every time hatred is rewarded with attention.
I firmly believe that unfiltered social media will be the downfall of our society.

The short answer is motive.
To be defined as terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000 the violence, or threat of violence, must be "made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause."

I know social media is a cesspit but if it didn't exist many of the people on there now openly saying that all non-whites should be deported would be saying it somewhere else. We have a problem that runs a lot deeper than tatty flags on lampposts and right-wing marches.

Daily Mail comment section

I think is very unhelpful when Reform politicians like Farage and Jenkyns keep jumping up and down demanding greater transparency. They have both been in politics long enough to know that the police are governed by clear rules about they can and can not say about suspects after they have been arrested.

If the police had in fact named the two people arrested soon after the arrests an innocent man could have found himself in a lot of trouble and so could members of his family. Naming suspects too soon also makes it harder for police to apprehend potential accomplices or gather extra evidence.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Goodwin's talked about how non-white Britons basically come from cultures where disputes about "honour" are settled by violence. That's a new formulation I hadn't seen before, quite neat in its own way. He gets to disregard Black Christians like that. They might go to church and praise Jesus, but deep down, they're still alien, they'll kill you if you bump into their car.

The notion that white British people don't settle disputes via violence may be news to a few court reporters around the country.

Expect a slew of "two tier justice" claims fomr the usual suspects.

We're getting it already - "Why has one of them been released? What's going on?"

It's beginning to look like a schizophrenic episode. Last time I saw something like this was twenty-odd years ago on the Tube with a guy violently rocking to and fro and continually calling out "Thank you, Jesus"....

Given also the actions of the LNER staff - one of whom remains in a life-threatening condition - I hope that this shuts up those whining bitches who are always calling for driverless trains every time a strike inconveniences them.

Or Driver Only Operation. The driver can't just flick on the auto-pilot button and wander back to see what is happening.

I had the misfortune to hear Chris Felch on the Toady programme this morning - he didn't get an easy ride, I'm pleased to say.
