What will Starmer do if Huntingdon...

[Whyandwhenandwho]

Stabbing turns out to be terror related or in a similar vein to incident to recent incidents that were related to immigration ? We don't know the identities yet of the perpetrators. But the fact the Home Secretary is brought in to comment in tabloids and the discussion on LK on BBC today makes me worried its a possibility. The poor people on the train - I cannot even imagine .. ..Starmer needs to tackle knife crime as its rife. What is the answer ? When is there a tipping point ? I don't know but something must be done - I've never paid as much attention other than feeling so terribly sorry for any victims and families. Now I'm starting to get angry when I see anything like this

What needs to be ‘done’ is addressing why every time something bad happens, an increasing number of people assume it’s down to immigrants. The direction that’s leading us in is far more dangerous than catching a train to work.

No decent-thinking person does, and no religion promotes this.

There are extremists who nominally belong to all religions and wrongly hide behind that religion to commit atrocities, but it's dangerous and honestly quite stupid and ill-informed to claim that Islam supports slaughter of other religions. What sort of social media rubbish have you been reading?

Can you really not see why a random
mass stabbing of 10 people on a train, gets more media attention than a single one off stabbing?

I never understand why the Police come out and say it’s not terror related. They did the same with Southport. Whatever their motivation , if a deliberate mass stabbing of people isn’t ‘terror’ then what is?

The flag-shaggers must be gutted.

There's Muslim as a member of a faith group, and there is Islamism which is a political movement isn't there?

And judging by progressive discourse online, if instead of demonizing Jewish people you'd used the word "Zionist"...

Remember after the incident at the Liverpool parade everyone was saying this, and then the pictures of him came out and he was actually a white guy? All of a sudden everyone was trying to find excuses for why he’d do that, as opposed to being disgusted.

Yes it certainly feels like it and stokes terror.

My parents watch GB news (sadly) and you can actually hear the deflation in their tone

Well I think things like the mass cover up of the rape gangs operating throughout the country hasn't helped.
Perhaps if there was more honesty around these things people wouldn't be so quick to believe the worst when something else happens. As it stands, the lies have created an environment where some now pin everything on one section of society and won't believe it if told its not true. With good reason.

The point of terrorism is to terrorise

They all do belong to one group: blokes. If only we could put more funding and resources into research on what makes men commit these crimes and not women, put boys into some kind of extra programs after school or something. I know it’s not as easy as all that but there’s very clearly one group that has issues

Bully for you
although I have so ….

rich white men are abusing women daily in case you hadn’t read the news

no one should face abuse and no one should be protected from prosecution but to stereotype is wrong as is turning a blind eye to the prevalence of abuse all round

If you get on a busy train waving a large knife, you are a terrorist.

If you get on a full train and have no legal right to be on that train you must be returned to where you do have a legal right to be.

It's not about race or immigration so why do people want another 997 posts about it?

Surely OP, the question should be what will Starmer do about rampant knife crime full stop.

Your fundamental misunderstanding of what terrorism is, isn’t the fault of the police.

I'm not sure you know enough facts about Islam.

No, you’re not.

Tourists have passports and that what happens in other countries - it's not xenophobic rubbish as you put it.

No one said that rich white men don’t abuse women, but there is a problem amongst some groups of Muslims. People like you are part of the problem.

If two people have co-ordinated a mass stabbing on a train why is that NOT defined as an act of terrorism?

If you get on a busy train waving a large knife, you are a terrorist

No only if your motive is terrorism. You might be a robber, a psychopath, off your head on your drugs.

Whatever the race or religion of these men- and lo and behold it’s men- not women, it is a disgusting and hideous crime they have committed.
I could have been on that train minding my own business. I do not for one second believe that those who were stabbed were targeted individuals.
Such an appalling thing to do.
Well done to the police and other emergency services for their swift action.
Well done to the staff and fellow passengers too.
Lord knows how the passengers must feel after witnessing this.
Also hoping all those involved recover well.

Why post like this, is it to feel better. It’s rational to question whether something that terrorises should be known as such.

That's a daft post.

If Islam doesn't believe in it then why are so many Muslim men committing atrocities on the daily world-wide based on their Religious teachings?

If it's not based in their Religion and specifically approved in the Koran you should let them all know since you seem to know better than them 🙄

I don't believe most Muslims are terrorists or support terrorism but it's baseless and patronising to say it isn't supported by Religious doctrine when it 100% is.

1000 times this. There were numerous people on the original thread calling for migrant boats to be bombed out of the water in response to a knife attack on a train. It’s horrifying how normalised this level of racism and toxicity has become.
