Well they say you are what, 4 people away from knowing everyone?

Turns out I've spoken to the business partner of one of the two several times.
 
What was wrong with it?

I imagine it will be usual spurious claim that reporting facts of a case, prior to a conviction, somehow constitutes a risk of 'contempt of court' or some similar nonsense about it preventing a 'fair' trial that's easily exposed by contrasting and comparing statements made by senior politicians in the Thomas Mair case shortly after his arrest at the scene of the crime and by other reporting of notable people arrested but not yet convicted (or even charged).

The absolute state of the hypocrisy in this thread.

Let's get one thing straight - the scumbag who stabbed two innocent blokes in London deserves the full weight of the law, there is absolutely no excuse for it. But watching some of you guys suddenly pretend to care about the sanctity of human life when you've spent the last six months cheering on the Zionist project while it levels city blocks and wipes out thousands of civilians is genuinely nauseating.

You can't have it both ways. You can't be "tough on terror" when it's a bloke with a knife on our streets, but turn a blind eye to state-sanctioned murder just because the UK government signs off on it. Human life is human life. If you only care about the victims when it suits your politics, you don't actually care about justice at all.


I don't understand why people are being so wilfully ignorant. I'm not supporting attacks on Jews - I don't support attacking anyone at all.

I heard on the radio this morning, of course, that Antisemitism is on the rise...of course it is. We have a Jewish nation state waging war on a whole religious group. How do you think they're going to react?

It doesn't help that Israel itself constantly conflates Israel and Judaism!

The UK is not doing enough to combat Antisemitism, but by the same token it's not doing enough to combat Islamophobia, and is in many cases encouraging it - particularly in the ongoing support of Israel's war on Islam.

I am smart enough not to directly conflate Israel and the Jewish faith, but Israel very clearly defines itself as Jewish and appears to act as a source of Jewish violence against Islam.

None of this is difficult to comprehend. Not of it is good. But if we bury our heads in the sand and act like we don't know why it's happening, we're not going to solve anything.

You're right about the geopolitical context, but you're giving the attacker too much credit.

I have zero love for the Zionist project, what's happening over there is abhorrent and the UK's complicity in it is a disgrace to human rights, but conflating the murderous actions of a foreign state with two innocent blokes walking down a street in North London is exactly what the state of Israel wants people to do. They want to tie the religion to their state violence.

Being anti-Zionist means standing up for human life across the board. Stabbing random people on the street isn't "resistance" it's murder. **** this guy and his ******** attack, keep the pressure on the actual government enabling the slaughter abroad!

British people being more concerned about what is happening their streets and to their people is entirely normal. The majority of us have zero links to Gaza, don’t want to go there and don’t have much in common with the people there. Don’t forget Palestinians are the reason we have airport security, they had a habit of hijacking or blowing up planes.


For such a small group of people the list of achievements is truly remarkable, they even have their own wiki:

 
Now that they've officially released the name we can see that this guy has had a bit of a knife issue for some time:


Also ministers are getting all tough and reassuring people etc.. but remember just 2 years ago a knifeman was at risk of trying something similar and look what happened:
A knifeman who terrorised staff at a kosher supermarket has been spared a prison sentence by a judge.

Gabriel Abdullah, 34, was arrested in January after storming a Golders Green shop with a large blade and demanding to hear people’s views on “Israel and Palestine".

Though police initially treated the attack as a hate crime, he was charged with affray and possession of a knife.

Similarly:
A man who attacked a Quran-burning protester with a knife in central London to ‘protect [his] religion’ has avoided jail time despite pleading guilty to the assault. Instead, Moussa Kadri, has been given a 20-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, 150 hours of unpaid work and 10 days of rehabilitation.

Perhaps individuals who threaten or attack others with knives on our streets ought to face at least some time in prison?

In case you were unaware the UK wasn't bombing Gaza nor did we have troops there - to claim that the UK turned a blind eye to it is a lie as the UK clearly didn't do that and in fact placed sanctions on two Israeli Government ministers.

Israel is a secular jewish state. It does not have an official religion. Judaism is the largest religion but israel guarantees freedom of religion unlike its neighbours. Some politicians spout on about religion and the state however Israel is defined as a jewish and democratic state in its basic law.
 
secular ? Star of David on the flag and being an emblem apparently worn by jews in London hardly suggests secular
(I assume those in London are not overtly displaying the flag like those who politically display union jack)

Stop the war protest organiser and Streeting interviews on r4
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002vmkt 18"
... streeting apparently protests against Israel without any antisemitic tropes , ergh and did that translate into government actions ?

I thought that was because of the Saudis primarily making up the numbers, if we're talking about 9/11?

You know, why we did nothing whatsoever to Saudi Arabia.

E: I appreciate the window blinds have to be up because of earlier hijacks but that's hardly the 'security' we deal with now.

I believe he was talking about the rash of plane hijackings in the seventies by the PLO and fellow travellers, Baader Meinhof, Carlos the Jackel etc., etc.

Ah ha. The reason window blinds have to be up then.

It just got me thinking about how nothing was said or done regarding Saudi Arabia considering 15 of those involved in 9/11 were Saudis.

Anyway, I'm going off on a bit of a tangent.

Hope the victims recover well.

I understand the attacker had a history of violence and mental health issues, has he actively targeted people before because of their religion do we know?
 
I drove to Golders Green high street today and parked up for a few minutes as its only 10 minutes away from me. BBC and several other networks were all still broadcasting there and interviewing people. I missed Keir Starmer's arrival.

I've got a feeling this is going to be another one of those "lessons will be learned" cases... not only did this chap have an extensive history of knife crime issues but he was only recently released from a psychiatric hospital:


Now there's a fairly obvious question to ask here about the ever prevalent “wokeness”/equity stuff which has rather crudely applied in all sorts of areas where "outcomes" don't match the underlying population demographics seemingly without any consideration as to whether they actually need to fiddle with cases to adjust inconvenient outcomes and what they think they're achieving by doing so. As a result there's been considerable pressure applied to mental health professionals when it comes to men from an African/Caribbean heritage.

See for example the recent Nottingham knife attack case where sadly some people died:

Mental health professionals decided not to detain the Nottingham triple killer Valdo Calocane despite a violent incident in 2020, after they considered research that addressed the over-representation of young black men in custody, a public inquiry has been told.

Calocane, who has paranoid schizophrenia, fatally stabbed 19-year-old students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, and 65-year-old Ian Coates, and severely injured three others on 13 June 2023.

And secondly, even after detention/treatment how much faith can we really place in some of these mental health professionals to make sensible, informed decisions:

A nurse has admitted to a public inquiry that she made errors in the records of a mentally ill man before he went on to kill three people in a spate of attacks.

Valdo Calocane, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, stabbed to death Barnaby Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates, and tried to kill three others, in Nottingham on 13 June 2023.

Calocane was under the care of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) from 2020 but was discharged due to a lack of engagement nine months before the attacks.

Discharged due to a "lack of engagement" - erm???

And this seems more like negligence and being bad at your job rather than simply an "error".
On Monday at the Nottingham Inquiry, external, mental health nurse Busayo Ajewole admitted her notes were at times lacking information, copied and pasted and fundamentally wrong.

Calocane first presented to NHFT with symptoms of psychosis in May 2020, after he broke into a neighbour's flat where he lived at Brook Court in Radford, Nottingham.

Between then and February 2022, he had six Mental Health Act assessments which led to four hospital admissions.

The inquiry was shown risk assessment forms from that period, which showed a series of incorrect information.

So in that previous knife attack case resulting in deaths we had an obviously violent dangerous guy with a long history of issues who released back into our streets and stabbed people now we find out that the guy yesterday with a long history of knife issues was also detained too and of course released onto the streets....

Lessons, sadly, will probably not be learned here.
