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

It’s almost as if they have an actual job to do and not just pandering to the far right.

Still backing Labour? There are not many that do.

Then you overreacted and need to get a grip. Should everyone be terrified getting on a plane because of 9/11? Or a bus, because 7/7 had a bus affected too. Or going to a concert?

Being terrified of existing in a world where violence sometimes happens isn't healthy.

What were they armed with? Batons?

LNER is government owned!

Silly response tbf.

You can exist in your little echo chamber but this is an issue that has come to a head because of 14 years of Tory rule.

Both men have been charged with attempted murder.

That indicates both men were involved in attempted murder regardless of who was welding the knife.

I don't think anyone has said they're 'wedded' to Labour or Starmer. They're the current government, will be for the next four years, and are doing a better job than Boris Johnson and Truss did. And a far, far better job than Reform would do.

This was a LNER train. They have guards. However, I don’t know what you would expect a guard to do in this situation.

How do you travel then? Car accidents are the biggest cause of accidental deaths and injuries.

They would have just stabbed the staff, it wouldn't have been a deterrent.
If they had bus conductors they would get abused and park keepers. There's no respect or manners anymore and so much violence around

Ah, out comes the toxic nostalgia.

Why don't you give a toss about Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?

The PM is the most disliked for some time.

If you don’t know that it’s more likely down to your echo chamber.

As are all of yours.

They cannot release a name until the suspect is charged. It has always been, and will always be, this way. The only reason people are pushing back is because they don't like what they have been told. It was exactly the same after the car drove into the crowd in Liverpool in May (in fact, I think I recall you saying the exact same things at that time!), because people seek confirmation bias. There have been crimes that have been committed by extremists which have been labelled as such and people have not pushed back to this degree.

The police admitted that they did not handle Southport correctly, and have made changes.

Radio for help, get a faster response and potentially save lives?

They need rail security officers. Expecting a catering employee to take down a knife wielding attacker is ludicrous.

Echo chamber? Have you seen the polls lately? People don’t support Labour or Starmer, that is a fact.

How do you know?
Reform haven't been in yet.
If there was an election tomorrow they have a very good chance.

Him being disliked doesn't change that the Tories mismanaged this country and public funds for so long.

Rail security officers are not just “staff”

Which is a very scary prospect!

Supposedly the majority of stabbing victims were train staff.

Is this the grounds for industrial action maybe. Quite a lot of train companies are also now about to be brought back into state ownership, so this will be an issue they will go to government on

There was a guard on the train! LNER trains have guards.

Don’t be so ridiculous.

The country is in a mess left by the last Government. Reform don’t have a plan. Farage has said it himself. No other party can be trusted to sort the mess out.

Running the country is a bloody hard task at the moment. It is incredibly unfair and short sighted to say he will do nothing.
