What's the current stance now? We allowed to say potential terrorist attack?

If I we're a bookie, I'd have some poor odds it was religion related.
So far we have seen a black guy being arrested. Nothing in that says islam but if you look at the historical facts, the last dozen "incidents" have been religious/ISIS/home grown islam issues.
If you take the facts at hand, use some critical thinking, the CHANCES of it being :
- A refugee or some kind of asylum seeker
- Known to security services
- On benefits
- Muslim
The CHANCES of these things being true are much higher, than the chances it was a confused man who drove into 15 cyclists before attacking the seat of government in the UK is slim to none.

Lmao...
As triggered as people get by such assumptions they've generally been close to accurate most of the time.....
Sad but true.

I can't say I'm certain of this being an Islamist terrorist attack. But I can see why people would assume that. In recent times, it has all too often been the case. From what I've seen, it did look like the driver did what he did, delibrately.
True, there was speculation earlier in the thread that it could be someone from OCUK motors forum.
What really bothers me, is how some cretin of a man [for whatever reason] drives a car into a bollard outside parliament, causes no loss of life - yet the media is having an absolute multiple-orgasm, we've got the Sky copter out, with it's camera focused on a knackered ford fiesta, all the "experts" being wheeled out for their "expert analysis" no doubt some Ross Kemp lookalike will be on later - all of this will be for 48-72 hours solid, no letup. Endless blanket coverage, almost force-fed into every device, through every orifice.
It bothers me, because there'll be people out there who are close to the edge - who will be noticing the amount of attention and coverage this clown is getting, and it'll be making them think "**** it, do it live" or something to that effect, I think it's very bad the way it's covered and reported, we're almost asking for another one.

Could be a sequel to Four Lions!
People want to know if there's a terrorist attack that's happened. I can't see how the media is at fault for reporting on it, even in the absence of confirmed information.

Having watched the video, I have an alternate hypothesis.
the driver pulled into the side road to get out of the ambulance's way, then realised he was on a one-way road. Seeing all the police around, he panicked and tried to switch onto the other road, saw the barriers on the road and tried to swerve around them using the pavement without noticing the barriers there. It doesn't look like unusual acceleration before impact, but that could be down to the fact it was just a 1.2 Fiesta

You sir, should try watching American news!
LOL
And then when taken into custody he refuses to cooperate with the police or clear any of that up in spite of the fact they now think he's a terrorist.
video is here for anyone who is interested:

Because our cops don't immediately gun down criminals?
For the same reasons that occur in the united states with mass shootings - each time there's mass hysterical media coverage, within 2 weeks another one usually happens, and another - the same was true last summer when we had a spate of terror attacks on UK soil and almost constant saturation coverage.
By performing blanket coverage of a terrorist incident, the media become the recruitment platform, essentially - the media is to terrorism, what the lymph nodes are to cancer.
Food for thought;
Yeah - I travel to the US a lot, it's unwatchable.
It could be that he knows he's ****** up and is waiting for legal representation before he's willing to make a statement
Possibly but he'd have a heck of a lot of explaining to do given that video, especially as he isn't slowing down but instead accelerates.
