probably not, but then he probably doesn't turn up at a plane crash and shout out lies about how dangerous planes are either

You think its a lie that its a safe assumption this is going to be islamic related?

Out of curipsity what other group has used this MO of ramming a vehicle in and then stabbing/shooting indiscriminately?

Honestly ive not heard of it being say an ira tactic which is the only other likley group atm given the recent bombings

Sky news classy as ever, showing an image of a guy who looked as though he's been thrown over the bridge, with his head on the ground next to a blurred pool of blood... I'm sure his family will appreciate that.

I think the image has now been removed. But remains in the thumbnail for the article for now.

cant see it

It's on the live broadcast.
There is also a photo on CNN news of the car after it had crashed, with a couple of injured people around it, and others just standing around looking and talking. All quite calm. This is just after the event and before the police arrived. I then assume that the driver exited the car and walked round to the entrance and attacked the police office.

I was actually focusing on terrorists being 'the most dangerous people to us currently', which isn't true.

Chavvy McChavs or drunk drivers pose way more danger towards me than islamic terrorists.

lets not get carried away eh, no descriptions of the attackers have been released.

Its a lie because statistically it is less liekly to be Islamic related than numerous other reasons.

These are the statistics for the EU:

Religion is a tiny fraction, of that tiny fraction only some of the religious terrorist attacks are by Islamic terrorists.

I pray Kay Burley is not allowed anywhere near this.

However each of those is an individual case as opposed to a concertedorginaised effort.

So nor really comparable

Ok so in your educated guess D.P who do you think was responsible/the motive.

If you had to pick?

Well (perhaps thankfully) I can't see it on the article for some reason. It is also on The Sun's website, though the individual is fully blurred out.

Sky news did put out a description a few minutes ago but not heard it repeated yet.

No facts have been released. How about some respect for the injured instead of speculation?

Looks like they/he must have driven across the entire bridge on the pavement at speed? several different spots with bodies.

Wonder if this is those extremist Atheists?
