Continuing to speculate that it's definitely terrorist, when we know nothing either way - essentially it's a weak form of trolling.

How on earth is that a weak form of trolling. Considering there has been things like this in the past, people will irrationally assume. Do you honestly think they're thinking "haha let's wind up some people on OcUK by pretending to assume it's terrorism when we know it's not." (Now who's making assumptions)

No they're just irrational people who are assuming something which may or may not be true. Banning people is incredibly heavy handed.

If it is a terror attack, it’s up there with the Glasgow airport one as terror attacks fails.

Indeed, wait till the MPs are on holiday and then crash into a barrier without killing anyone... what a mastermind that guy is. I guess people like this (if it is a terror attack) are the sort that inspired Chris Morris when writing Four Lions.

I guess on twitter they did overhear the police mention a "CT incident" but I assume that is going to be the default assumption by them given the location. We'll find out soon enough anyway.

This place sadly can be very heavy handed at times.

Yes and as in the majority of similar threads, people have been asked to refrain from speculation and antagonistic posts. It only takes one comment and before you know we have 3 pages discussing "religions of peace", whether xyz religion is actually a race, and other off topic rubbish.

Unfortunately to the detriment of the otherwise great community that we do have here, there are a small minority to which I actually believe this applies.

You are welcome to raise your concerns in the appropriate subforum
 
Counter terrorism officers were dispatched that is fact

Yet its wrong to speculate that its likely to be terrorism?

Right.....

Because they regularly dispatch CTFO officers to RTA’s dont they

You're comparing a precautionary emergency response to speculating after the incident. These are not the same.

How are people not understanding the issue with going all the way to 11 without knowing the facts first.
Just because you hear hooves trotting, doesn't mean it's a horse.
 
I hope everyone who is injured makes a quick recovery - And I hope it was just an accident and not malicious.
 
Doesn't sound like an accident going by some of the eye witness reports. We could have the worlds dumbest terrorist in custody.

No im not

If bomb disposal are dispatched to an incident its fair to assume that theres likely to be some sort of device yes???

If ctfo are dispatched to an incident then its safe to assume that the police believe it “may” be terrorism yes....
