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

You sound almost gleeful.

I still think that even if it was an immigrant, the knife crime is a much more serious issue than immigration.

In all seriousness I was thinking next election I will vote Reform

I also think we need to have police patrolling our streets and towns again - putting aside stabbings, terrorism etc. There are hoodlum youngsters everywhere now causing fear and committing lots of crimes and police only turn up after. This presence will greatly reduce all these incidents (for a while anyway). People don't feel safe at all - immigration is only one root cause

He won't do much at all I would imagine.

He won’t do anything, none of them will. They will offer thoughts and prayers to to the victims. And all the blokes on the boats will keep coming.
I bet he’s shitting himself if the attacker is an immigrant because there is a lot of tension amongst different groups in the UK. They are probably worried that people will riot again. It is a fact that the vast majority of terrorist attacks in recent times have been carried out by men with a certain religious ideology but nobody wants to address it.

I know so many people that would never ever have considered it saying the same thing. I think the issue is the current and previous government walk a very diplomatic line - I don't think we can be diplomatic anymore. Go back to what matters- safety matters etc. And let your policies and actions center around that

It’s interesting that the defence secretary had taken the exact same train service just hours earlier. Probably just a coincidence but an unsettling thought that he could easily have been a victim or witness himself.

Yeah apart its the right wing - the Conservatives, that has given us the highest non white migration ever.

They got us out of the EU, enabling the boats and then invited in 2m people, mostly from Asia and Africa, under first Boris and then Rishi Sunak.

But its all the fault of the 'left ....

Terrorist attaches - yes, because they were prominent. But also - mentally ill people released when they shouldn't have been released due to no funding; and also - countless knife attacks by British people of all colours which are not even talked about in press much. I would say the majority of knife crime is carried out by young British born males...Curbing immigration would not cure that.

Airport style scanners at stations. They have them at some schools.

two black males are supposedly the perpetrators. If it was a white person we would have had their photos by now. Same thing happened with Southport. I say this as a half Indian woman. I can’t believe how passive every govt has been. The country has been going to shit for the last few years. We need something seismic to take back control. But no one seems to care.

Well instead of imprisoning the perpertrators we will become imprisoned in our homes.

Oh really. All started when Blair got into power in 1997 if I remember correctly! It was speeded along with the tories (who I never vote for anyway) so trying the ‘gotcha’ trick with me doesn’t work sorry!

What would Reform do?

Mass deportations to where? most countries of origin wont accept back asylum seekers.

Reform are without substance & Farage has helped bring about the channel migrant issue.

Both perpetrators were British. Born here.

I hope all of those who started spilling racist bile feel ashamed of themselves.

Both black, both born here, one with Caribbean descent, both in their 30s...

So much for the x channel asylum angle.

How would you stop people coming to the UK?

NOT terrorism related.
British born, Caribbean background.

It would be helpful if the government can start quoting some real facts - but they never do and never will snd treat the public like idiots . This doesn't happen in countries like NZ. We need to know X knife crime, of which Y is linked to immigration, Z to gangs etc. So we know the true extent ' we might find that it's a really small proportion but being blown up by media ! I'm not sure this will be the case but share the truth and act accordingly - police presence is a start for deterring

Not asylum seekers, hopefully will diffuse some tensions

Again, how the fuck would you deport second/ third generation immigrants - or even people of colour who's families were here for hundreds of years? How cutting immigration would make my neighbouring teenage wannabe gangster stop carrying knifes?

Uninformed speculation about who and why when there's a dearth of verified facts just stokes panic.

Why can't we all just hold fire until we know what we're talking about. A lurch to the populist right only brings more division.

An awful lot of posters who will no doubt be name changing now.
