Not asylum seekers.
Billionaires who are hoovering up all the money.

Welcome to MN. It is an honour that you chose this thread to make your first post ☺️

Thanks. so kind. Looking for the friendly chat promised.

Netmums is that away hun ->

I wish the police update would get going. We need some facts.

Introduce yourself and maybe pay tax, sheep pictures are appreciated, it's optional though.

Tea or coffee?

Couldn't agree more.
Not helped by the fact that the BBC coverage is laughably bad at the moment.

And it's started.

So British born, British citizens and not currently believed to be terrorist related.

Not as friendly as it says on the tin

4 of 9 victims now out of hospital.

Good news.

Two patients sadly remain in a life-threatening condition.

Yep, if you can (quite rightly) be prosecuted for saying you don’t care if asylum seeker accomodation can be set on fire then actually setting it on fire should carry a very heavy penalty.

Bluefaced Leicesters are just about my favourite sheep. Their wool is so versatile!

Tea..but later..sheep's out the paddock

@DuncinToffee that is absolutely shocking about the asylum hostel, I hope they are caught and punished with the maximum prison sentences allowed. People need to understand that hate speech and hateful actions have consequences.

Well at least the hotel shouters can't use the awful train stabbings as an excuse. A small mercy.

It's just banter.

Sez 'oo ?

British Transport Police

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

What if thread on MN is allowed to stand, I did report it but what's the point.

They mean they aren't going to speculate. It seems the rest of the world can knock one themselves out

Carefully done by the police.

I don’t really want to call this knife crime, because it isn’t.

People who carry large knives know they are breaking the law unless they have a serious mental illness. Even our mandatory sentences are not applied. I think they should be, because largely the effort to dissuade people from carrying has failed. These are people who aren’t ill.

It hits home - a few years ago I was approached by a man with a large knife in a playground. He was a schizophrenic. The police tasered him. It took a very long time for them to come. I will remember it all my life as the children and parents ran away screaming. I will not forget warning a man not come in and he said, this is my son.

I hope the victims recover. It will stay with them for a long time.

Even our mandatory sentences are not applied. I

In which case they aren't mandatory. Sophism at it's finest.

There are kids taking knives to school. It is tragic.
