What Is Happening To Our Country?

Enough is enough.  This needs to be called out by politicians for what it is, rather than prioritising political correctness and their pathetic fear of offending people. Hopefully there are no deaths 

What is it that you think needs to be called out?

Only one person, as it transpires. The second has been confirmed as not involved and been released.

Yep just seen that. Will be interesting to see the profile of this individual. Is it a gangland type thing? I will never understand the mindset of people who routinely walk around carrying a knife. Unfortunately it's disproportionately younger people (although 32 isn't that young tbf) and sadly there's an insidious element within some black cultures that mean they think carrying knives is acceptable. Maybe it's a mental health thing after all.

Obviously no one normal ever wants this to happen it's appalling. In some ways if there is really no motive this is even worse. At least with terrorism there's normally some twisted motivation. If it's really the case that two people just fancied a bit of murdering and stabbing then the thought that more people like this are living in our society is chilling.

I disagree. People who are suffering from mental disorders, hearing voices or whatever are far less likely to inspire or recruit others to do similar in the future. I'd feel better knowing that some looney had just flipped his lid, than knowing there was a terrorist cell out there with a clear agenda to harm as many people as possible on a repeat basis.

TBF I did post this when the thinking was there were two people involved which rather eliminates the possibility of mental illness.

I wouldn't bother, I asked him earlier what he thought it would do and he didn't reply. It's classic Sir Ralph, all bluster and no substance.

It's not just a black thing. We've now got security guards at our local school due to travellers vs scumbag locals. There was a death earlier this year when a traveller stabbed to death another kid in the 6th form.

Slightly separate note but some of RMT’s demands when striking were around reducing staff on trains and they cited concerns for passenger safety. Appears one of the rail staff was a hero in tackling the guy and is now fighting for his life,

Almost as if they could be striking for the correct reasons.

Because this crime involves a black suspect. Ffs do we have to caveat every single post in a discussion in case you think someone is being racist? Don't be so ridiculous.

It's not just a traveller thing. You have only expressly mentioned them. You have declined to mention all the other groups that are scum as well. Presumably that means you're a bigot.

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that I live in a very white area and we seem to have lots of issues with it - carrying knives is no longer the black cultural thing you seem to think it is.

You have history unfortunately, so you don't get that benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, no point having this same argument again.

It is a black cultural thing within some black cultures although not all obviously. It's also a problem within some other communities as well. Highlighting one problem when a crime is committed by someone from that community isn't denying that problems exist elsewhere.

That's OK I can just repeat myself, deny your baseless accusations again and call you ridiculous one more time. It doesn't take me long.

Yep, and we can just repeat that we just don't believe you, sorry.

No need to be sorry. What the likes of soggy, yourself and egg think on this matter is of little relevance. You'd be better off ignoring my posts if you can't respond to points raised without reverting to unfounded claims of racism or Islamophobia. I doubt it's very interesting for anyone else.

Lets see what the final motive is. I suspected it was an Islamic radical to be honest based on the initial reports, which isnt really very surprising with recent history.

Another train derailment, coincidence?....No, woke Transport Police can't say because they're gagged by scared lefties and rainbow flags but my mate knows someone who saw on Facebook that this latest attack was by a brown landslide of foreign-looking soil.

And what do they do with the passengers? Put them up in a fucking hotel at our expense!

It's all the UK's problems in one go and it makes me seethe - two-tier Kier needs to send the brown soil back where it came from but he's not allowed to by the Geneva Convention and his knee-taking union paymasters!

We need to get our sidings back.

That isn’t what the police are saying so far, but don’t let that stop you jumping to conclusions. You are another hypochondriac (it’s good to know that I only have to worry about Black people carrying knives), you can’t wait to have a dig at minority groups.

For those less familiar with S Brizzle. She’s clearly not read the news - assuming she can actually read. Mind you, she wouldn’t have been too happy with the Ministerial visitor given the ‘outburst’ from her van https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8648wywe54o

Will you actually condemn the attack for once if it is Islamic based? So far you refuse to do so on any single occasion.

Once again you are displaying your ignorance so there is no point in replying to you. I will say though that you seem to be very keen for it to be blamed on an Islamic terrorist even though there has been absolutely no indication from the police so far that is the case.

As for the hero who saved lives, this is the guy.

I imagine the manager taking a sigh, before going up to the old guy in the corner to ask him to stop talking to himself and leering at the bar staff, as it's upsetting the other customers. 

Behind the manager, one of the bar staff tells her colleague about the time the old guy asked her to express milk into his coffee.
