Confirmed by police about half an hour ago that the 35 year old arrested has been released without charge.

This is like if a bomb went off in a shopping centre in the 70s and everyone said 'it'll be the ira' and folk said 'oooh you can't say that it's xenophobic to Irish'. No, no one would have been blaming the Irish as a whole rather the terrorists who had form for those attacks. If that had been a random mentally ill person, well so what. Does not change the fact we all know who tends to carry out attacks.

It is not racism, it is not xenophobia it is probability.

The IRA always made a claim and a warning, but the Warrington bombing remains to this day a disgrace.

All citizens should get it. Especially in Scotland.

Ideally but if it was a matter of priority for cost reasons, then I’d be happy to start with non-white citizens.

It's not the people with mental health conditions who were asserting their rights to be walking the streets - in fact many would far prefer to be in a safe and secure place. Care in the community was purely a cost-saving policy, dressed up as de-institutionalisation.

So true. Ive heard of so many young people with MH conditions including sever ones that have absolutely no support and who pray for an institution to take them in.

I'd be happy to start with people in the North. In Norway all children are given Vit D supplements.

Yes my point was bombs in the 70s were presumed ira in origin. Nothing to do with xenophobia against Irish.

Mass knife attacks/cars driven into crowds nowadays are presumed jihadi. Nothing to do with racism.

Has he got trauma? And PTSD? Maybe he's tougher than that. Maybe he's used to being tasered. Maybe he's in the forces. Maybe he thinks the police did their best in difficult circumstances. Who knows.

You do know that a very large number of PTSD sufferers are currently serving in the forces and veterans? It has absolutely nothing to do with being “tough”. I imagine every single person on that train will be traumatised by it.

Except you are wrong. I would never assume that a person driving into a crowd is Jihadi. And I would be right.

I will never forget the suicide incident I witnessed at Kilburn tube station in 1990.

It is an interesting fact that in America, it has been observed that blacks who live in urban environments in the north suffer schizophrenia at much higher rates than their counterparts in the rural south.

Something about colder climates and urbanization really sets this off. Iirc they even discovered a higher risk for black Americans born in the north, compared to those who had merely migrated later in life.

Can you stop saying blacks please? It’s pejorative. It’s black PEOPLE.

I never see you saying ‘whites’.

Yes sometimes it isn't. Sometimes mass atrocities are due to other reasons but more often than not it is jihadis. What is racist about that?

It wad a big thing for a while by jihadis, particularly in the German Christmas markets. And the Westminster attacks.I think its why there are more of those immovable bollards in place to prevent these sorts of attacks.

Absolutely now we have more bollards due to those attacks. I’m not sure why the pp is overlooking those.

Yes Christmas markets have taken on a completely new look what with bollards and armed police. Nothing to see here though we mustn't share our concerns lest we are called 'racist', that most overused used of the decade.

Perhaps the pp wouldn’t have put those in place as it never happens.

How does that help to be so certain on something like that. Wrongly.

Not everyone develops PTSD after a traumatic event, though. In fact, it’s a minority of people. But it all depends on the individual who, as has been said, we know nothing about.

I think saying shut the fuck up is ruder than saying be quiet yes. For example I'd tell a dc to be quiet I wouldn't say stfu. It's social norms, no?

She was repeatedly goaded and told by that poster to be quiet and hush.

I'm not surprised you find that acceptable though, you only find people you disagree with as rude.

Double standards, no?

WeCouldBeNiceToEachOther · 03/11/2025 12:29

The exact same thing happened after the attack at the Liverpool parade.

I was on those threads sharing videos from people there showing that it was a white man who did it and got called all sorts of names.

The same people being horrendously racist here did the same then.

they’ll never learn.
