The perpetrator of this atrocity was shot dead by the police.

One down; how many more perps to go?

The public will want to know details of the perpetrator as in whether he was an established resident or an asylum seeker. Either case would be alarming.

Hospitals are in lockdown, but that could be precautionary.

Only one perpetrator here and as you say, he's now dead.

Are you trying to evade my actual point (which is obvious)? Think 7/7, for example.

There’s some horrific video circulating on Xitter, as is now commonplace after events like this. Truly awful. And sadly predictable, whenever a society allows the normalisation of rhetoric against a people group the way we have allowed the fringes of every pro-Palestine protest to descend into outright antisemitism. No different in principle to the shooting of Charlie Kirk. When you delegitimise someone as inhuman or their politics as inherently vile, you embolden nutters at the other extreme to act.

RIP.

Laying in your own exposed pool of blood is no way to depart this free world. If you don't like something move on. Simples.

A horrible thing to happen, especially on this day (Yom Kippur).

No idea what that is, so I looked it up.

Quote:

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. It occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei, corresponding to a date in late September or early October. For traditional Jewish people, it is primarily centered on atonement and repentance.
This year it is apparently the "Evening of Wed, 1 Oct 2025 – Thu, 2 Oct 2025".


Given the above, I doubt the timing is a coincidence.

A couple of schools I work with will no doubt be in lockdown as a result of this, they have trouble at the best of times and I've never really understood it, tiny, little children are as innocent as they come and don't deserve to be in a place that resembles a prison more than an educational establishment

You really don’t understand? Kids get indoctrinated at home - otherwise this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.

Muslim kids go to madrasas and that is where indoctrination starts; Jewish kids go to Sunday school.

I think you know what’s going on.

Police have confirmed it's a terrorist attack.

My Jewish friends call it cheder, or religious school - it’s on a Sunday morning, usually.

Yeah these aren't Sunday schools, they're monday to friday primary schools that happen to be Jewish, from what I've seen inclusive and promoting of British values too. Really can't be bothered arguing with certain people banging on about indoctrination when I've seen what has to be done on a daily basis just to protect them at school.

I don't think you are right. Cheders are Sunday schools. Madrasas are (AFAIK) daily sessions of a couple of hours focused on Islam.
