@Persephonia1966 in response to your questions -
And how does the BBC reporting the nationality of an attacker at 10 am rather than 10.32 am make you less safe? it doesn't, but knowing these things are happening on a more and more regular basis and carried out by those who come from a country where actions such as this are normal DOES make you feel less safe.
I ask - how does the media NOT reporting accurately make you feel MORE safe? is it because ignorance is bliss? is it because it is being proven time and time again that a lack of integration is the issue, not the actual immigration itself but our government's allowance for those who do enter the country to continue to live by their home countries rule rather than British law, until something goes 'majorly' wrong?
This isn't about whether the case should be reported or not. But you have no idea of the details, or why the attacker did what he did (it could be straight up mental illness, it could be mental illness plus radicalisation, it could be just radicalisation). It could also be none of those things, the media are reporting the Perpetrator as Somalian, it is well known that for example the punishment for theft in certain areas of Somalia is often the removal of a limb, for all we know the victim here stole something from the perpetrator and it is his norm to then carry out these actions, having not been properly integrated into another countries way of life. It is easily found online that the removal of a persons eyes and a public beheading in Somalia is often used as punishment for those accused of spying, and if the man knows no different, then what's the excuse? there's no 'catching it earlier' as it is a way of life and how he has been raised, more work needs to be done on actual integration!
