Stabbing in a train in Huntingdon

2 arrested. I can't imagine how awful this was for the victims

I am running on several threads ATM - please bear with, thanks.

Perhaps that is because they are still trying to verify the facts?

Yep for Labour presumably. Madness.

No i was referring to cross channel boats, which is what the pp was talking about.

Here is one, sanction France and the EU, 100% tariffs aka Trump...until the boats stop.

Yes there will be huge economic and travel costs but if it matters so much to the UK and it needs tackling, then we will bear this with a grim smile wont we?

I'm not a fan of Reeves but if your letting agent told your husband he'd sort the licence, wouldn't you leave it at that? Is a non issue, politically, or should be.

Does anyone know anything really about the attackers yet or is this all speculation?

Well because sadly we are seeing it more and more. If this ends up being 2 local men who were both off their heads on weed, both had a simultaneous psychotic episode and both coincidentally had weapons then fine but we all know which way this is likely to be heading.

I loathe the silly messages from MPs 'do not speculate' as if we're a bunch of naughty school kids and haven't in fact seen an increase in horrific attacks.

I’m no expert but I can imagine it’s not a quick win.

Someone has to try and sort this absolute nightmare out and the fact that it’s a sinking ship and someone is willing to give it an actual try and do it is not really a cause for complaint.

And I mean a proper go, not like the sort of thing a 7 year old would say about ‘turn them round’, army and sinking ships etc.

Given that the licence needs to be co-signed by the house owner, and the £900 fee paid, then yes, Reeves and her husband should have chased it up.

Guns aren't a necessary item in every kitchen where someone cooks. Knives are.

Please catch up on the latest updates.

Reeves is a liar - it’s on record.

Come out of the ECHR for a start. Take back control. France are the source of incoming asylum seekers, so we patrol our shores and return them. This would be a huge job initially, but once asylum seekers see this happening, they won’t be paying money to people traffickers, and the attempts should slow down.

And they’re also widely available in countries with low knife crime, for example Japan.

The knives aren’t the issue. The issue is cultural.

Front page article in Mail on Sunday today. Apparently Reeves was advised by two estate agents that she'd need licence to rent out home, but told PM she was unaware.

If that's the first thing you want, I have great news for you!

Noone is trying to silence you and your legitimate concerns. Woohoo. Here you are, not being silenced.

Hear yourself talking to people and not being arrested for it. Go on X, or other sm platforms, post, and don't get arrested. It's incredible.

You must be ecstatic.

(With the obvious exception that if your "legitimate concerns" are just a veiled attempt to stoke more racism and violence in the country, then yes, you would rightfully face consequences. But you don't mean that, of course, you mean legitimate concerns, so that's OK.)

What’s a ‘proper go’?

Look to countries who have resolved it, they are not 7 years old and citizens will never vote the policies out.

Thanks - I realise these things are not linear, but what progress has been made over the past 15 months, please?

@Negroany well obviously not the 70s & like I said my experience in London was nothing compared to family in NI. My dad worked in the city so sometimes I worried about him. Personally my risk as a young person was pretty low, I never thought a stranger would run up and deliberately target me for example. I think about 20-30 civilians died here which is obviously one too many but 7/7 resulted in over 50 deaths alone.

Don't we literally pay them to stop the boats?

It’s backwards thinking because young black men are also the most likely to be victims of knife crime so the “racist” policy of stopping and searching more young black men in areas where knife crime is prevalent actually saves the lives of young black men.

Cover up the facts is more likely.

These people saying first thought was football fans !!! Oh yes football fans usually run through a train stabbing random people, happens every weekend doesn’t it . Also the person who said they’re hoping it’s a white British person , disgusting remarks on here

People are not terrified of riots per se. They're scared of unrest, disorder, violence, the crumbling of structure, escalation, an undercurrent of hate.

Ongoing Reeves scandal? It’s perfectly clear what happened there. Her estate agent made a mistake.
cant believe you are trying to conflate that with this terrible incident which we know very little about at the moment.
