Want to see racism in this country?

Declaring a mentally unwell man a terrorist based on the fact he isn't English. They don't know his motives but immediately go to terrorist.

Everyone who has ever said this is true. If the attacker was white he wouldn't be called a terrorist.

Are you talking about the authorities or people in general?

Whoever has immediately gone to terrorist activity. Whether it's the police or whoever.

If the attacker was white he wouldn't be called a terrorist, especially given they have no idea of motive.

But then again I don't believe someone stabbing people in a spontaneous attack to be terrorism , given we have seen what terrorism actually is sadly.

Well, the incident was initially reported as not being treated as terrorist related, so I suspect the local police and/or media did not jump straight to that conclusion.

In general, if we're talking about multiple homicides by an assailant(s) in one location then the likelihood of being terrorism related will actually jump significantly.

If it happened in NI for example, it probably would be related to sectarian killing or dissident terrorism based purely on the circumstances of the incident.

That's not saying that the race of the assailant won't have played a part in the initial judgement by some, but this whole mentally ill vs. terrorist is one-dimensional.

Chris Powell one of the England coaches named Coleman on radio 5 live last week as one of the key instigators in organising this to happen in the EPL. Obviously its advantageous if there were teams not signed up to to taking the knee...
