People who use the term "back story" - where the hell has this term come from, all of a sudden? It wasn't in use until about a year ago, so why use it at all?

I think the key word is "and" at the end of the first bullet point. That is to say, while i agree about the "reaching wider spectrum, etc", it must also include political motivation. As i said earlier, I really do take your point about the guy terrorising people, but for it to be a "terrorist...

Undoubtedly, and i take your point, but that is NOT the definition of "terrorism" (according to the Terrorism Act 2000, which should be the proper definition). That requires that the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racist or ideological cause. Not just...

Your wife's going on MY list of things that annoy me too!

That was Snow White you were watching!

Or is it a 2.5 Pi?

My apologies, i have seen a second photo of the incident with his face. I don't know why his leg is so pale if the face is genuine

I don't think the bloke's any more a terrorist than i am (i'm not, by the way!!). He's just deranged! People jumping to so many conclusions, and the hand-wringing on Twitter is unbelievable. No-one gives a shit if "your thoughts are with those affected". Jeee-zus!

If you look at the picture of him being detained, his left calf doesn't look very black to me. Does he identify as black, maybe???

Of course, a "racial cause" could be a white bloke wanting to stab people he think might be Islamic and out to do the country harm, so could still be defined as terrorism, though probably just a deluded basket case!

Absolutely - that was the point i was trying to make, 92! I was going to put "Allah" but thought that might be jumping to conclusions!

The definition of terrorism includes the requirement that "the threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause", rather than just being someone with an axe to grind or is having some kind of episode. But, sure, the ideology they espouse may well...

Those police vans can be very uncomfortable, i understand. Hope he doesn't come out with too many inexplicable bruises or broken bones!

Who said it was a terror attack? It's just as likely related to the fact there isn't another World Mental Health Day today!

For starters, it's good that they refused Sunderland permission to talk to Squeaky!

More likely back of fag packet, such was the haste with which it was written!

Saw this tweet from Dean Nelson that on this day in 1965, JH launched the Sky Blue Special train service to Preston. Interesting how language has changed, as it is described in the flyer as "The gayest supporters' train ever"!! I can't help thinking we may (rightly or wrongly) take some flak for...

Why are we not in our home strip - there is no clash! I HATE that with a passion. Time the FA put a stop to it!
