If stabbing 11 people including 9 children isn't terror then what is??
-
If it was a white guy you'd give a detailed description of the attacker
-
YOU are scared to tell people the truth? We all know he wasn't "originally" from Cardiff, what makes people angry is your BS
-
If the person is an immigrant from Syria, the lie is "originally from Cardiff". Misracing someone is gaslighting at best.

Originally from Cardiff. So what she is portraying is that it’s a Welsh national, defamation of Welsh people
-
HE IS NOT FROM LANCASHIRE OR CARDIFF! HE IS A SYRIAN MUSLIM ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT! TELL THE TRUTH!🤬

Well, we all know it wasn’t carried out by a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jew or a Sikh.

Remember guys mass immigration and diversity is so great that they have to remind us every 5 minutes how great it is 😂

Traitors... He was syrian immigrant...

Looks like the cops are ignoring the elephant in the room to stop any civil unrest.
-
'Government' has failed in its duty of care.
-
The police say "there's no wider threat to the community" .....While Islam is in this country, there's always a threat
-
The murderer is Ali Al Shakati A Syrian refugee who arrived on a boat about a year ago & Is on MI6 watch list ... Tell the public the truth ! .

ANOTHER MIGRANT

If this woman is shielding the true identity of the attacker then she must be sacked on zero pension.
-
usual suspects
-
they look like council workers not police
-
This was a evil terror attack, he arrived in a taxi hooded up He had obviously been planning this and had observed the place in advance. Takes a special kind of devil to attack babies with sharp blades.
