A train that size may have 500 or more people on it. They need to evacuate the wounded and then work through everybody else making sure they’ve got all involved. It will take time. Plus if people are dead they need to tell their families.

And also, I would imagine, check that nothing similar is happening on other trains, if they suspect some kind of terrorism motive.

You want the police to potentially lie?

If they were fans travelling it’s likely they would have been wearing a football top. Why are we talking about football fans anyway? The train was from Doncaster

Exactly! Football fans usually wear their club's football shirt. And the government hushing everything up for the moment. It's got to be terrorism or asylum seekers. The government wouldnt be so worried about hushing everything up otherwise.

So you want the police to lie because you find the reality inconvenient?

we’ve never had governments actively trying to censor information. Nope. Nothing to see here….

What evidence do you have? Why would Starmer want to surpress info and how would he do that?

LancashireButterPie · 01/11/2025 23:54

Horrendous news. My thoughts go out to all those affected including the emergency workers.

It's not racist? How about downright ignorant? How can you be noticing this when it isn't even the case? Committing a crime makes you more likely to be deported - it is not a basis on which you can claim a right to stay! And someone who committed a serious non-political crime is excluded from refugee status - under both international and domestic law.

DH is becoming utterly obsessed with keeping us safe from violent random attacks. I keep brushing him off and calling him crazy. The amount of random violent attacks on innocent people does seem to be increasing and being committed by all sorts of people.
What is happening that people resort to this? It's like the school shootings in america, we seem to have people just flipping out and stabbing people or some other crazy shit.
This is just awful and not even unusual now.

Mine too… he’s very jittery when we are out in crowds these days.
He went to a footie match with our son and said he feels on alert all the time now. I dont want my daughter to use the trains when she goes to college - it seems to me that passengers ontrains are such an easy target for these criminals

Such a very sad state of affairs.

Males you say?
I wonder, statistically, what kind of males commit the most violent acts?
Commit the most murder etc?

Could there be a common characteristic...has this been studied?

Males from Deprived backgrounds.
growing up in Glasgow in the 90s was wild.
So many stabbings. Glasgow was known as the murder capital of Europe at one point.

LittleBowSheep · 01/11/2025 23:56

FFS! Why does every thread on MN have to end up with posters trying to outdo each other with what they think has happened and then resort to insulting other people with differing views.

It's clearly a serious incident for the PM to have made a statement so early on.

Show some respect for those involved.

Some of you seriously need to get a grip.

comfyslippets · 01/11/2025 23:56

Makes me laugh how some people are more than happy to suggest it’s football fans (who in my experience don’t do this), but any mention that it’s extremism offends them greatly.
we all know the second option there is most likely. Let’s just try and blame anybody else rather than who it probably is. Somebody actually said let’s hope it’s a white Englishman. I mean, what the fuck

Comefromaway · 01/11/2025 23:56

At this stage in proceedings we are not owed any information. The investigation comes first. Details will emerge when appropriate & when it won’t hinder the investigation.

my thoughts are simply with the victims.

Excuse me? You want the police to lie to the victims and the public to say it was white perpetrators even if they are black? I’ve heard it all now, you should be ashamed.

You know it’s not football related

I know it’s not football related

My mums, neighbour and all her friends and my sons girlfriend and her Labrador know it’s not football related

Everyone and the world and his wife knows it’s not football related

The posters on here Virtue Signalling saying it could be football related- know it’s not football related

Absolute nuts

Maintaining culture cohesion is just too important. We’ve seen what happened with regards to other cases. Nobody likes being lied to I understand that, but do you want potential protests and riots? Do you want a Reform government?

Don't be so stupid, that would cause more uproar. Why are you so desperate for it to be reported as a white man?

If it isn't clear to you, the possibility that it was a single white man reduces the fear that its yet another terrorist attack.

It is in fact two men, dressed in black. The police are reported to have tased and then arrested them both.

I wouldn’t hope it was a black/brown person anymore than I’d hope it would be a white person. Also a mass stabbing on public transport is terror to me whatever the motive.

Well they arn't going to tell the public a blatant lie. It was two black men, so said a witness on sky sports.

cottonwoolie · 01/11/2025 23:51

It's hardly a new thing. It's sadly a regular occurance in south London.

As a born & raised south Londoner it isn't a regular occurrence for multiple people to get stabbed.

South Londoner here too and agree with you that incidents like this absolutely are not a common occurrence. I would never catch the train / tram if they were.

This. It’s competitive virtue signalling gone wrong.
