Well this is what I'm saying. How do you fix it? Scanners before getting on a train?

What I'm saying though is this idea that we were a lovely civilised society before this argument around immigration really flared up though is nonsense.

You can't really.

Even if you took a zero tolerance approach, people would still commit these crimes.

Some good news:

Of the nine people believed to have life-threatening injuries, four have been discharged, police say in an update - two remain in a life-threatening condition


Hopefully those two are able to make it through.
so was it just the 9 affected, or have any died

Not sure it matters where or who but it clearly does to Nigel and his supporters

Does it? It happened on a train it wasn’t even going to Huntingdon

People have been stabbing people for decades.

Let's not forget, hooligans used to go round using weapons.

Not to downplay this incident or any. We hear about them more and they are horrific.

Knife crime has risen 80% in the last 10 years

Awful news and really hope everyone pulls through.

Thoughts and prayers to the Reformers suffering right now with the news the perpetrators are actually British.

The eyewitness reports sounded absolutely horrendous, it’s fortunate that so many of the victims are out of hospital, and that there isn’t a broader security threat involved.

Do any of this country’s political parties have a convincing plan for tackling knife crime?

But I thought the problem was immigration?

So what's the answer, deport everyone with foreign parents, even those born in the UK?

It’s interesting you were saying people were more interested in the politics of the argument than the victims and now are doing exactly the same

Of course they'll say that, 2 people on a train with machetes randomly trying to kill people. What's your definition of Terror David?
So you know better than the police? Ok, I know you gutted it's a couple British people but take your vile poison and go away.

I'll wait until the police tell us why it happened.

Well it has to meet this criteria:

The use or threat must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

You just described it as 'random' - by definition that means it is not terrorism.

No my point was that people were more concerned with the background of the attackers and didn't once mention the victims. It was quite clear which was more important to them.

Nice try though.
