Well, I’ll keep my powder dry.

Could be a doctor, Engineer or social care worker……

Best not to jump to conclusions just now. Few details so I could look daft later, it might have been Dave the far right plumber……..well see.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics)

Quote:

a dog whistle is the use of coded or suggestive language in political messaging to garner support from a particular group without provoking opposition.

The concept is named after ultrasonic dog whistles, which are audible to dogs but not humans.

Dog whistles use language that appears normal to the majority but communicates specific things to intended audiences.

They are generally used to convey messages on issues likely to provoke controversy without attracting negative attention…

… Lynton Crosby, who had previously managed John Howard's four election campaigns in Australia, worked as a Conservative Party adviser during the 2005 UK general election, and the term was introduced to British political discussion at this time.

In what Goodin calls "the classic case" of dog-whistling, Crosby created a campaign for the Conservatives with the slogan "Are you thinking what we're thinking?"

And what are the stats for those responsible for instances of multiple
stabbings?
Does Starmer get briefed on and comment on every stabbing in the UK?

"I urge people to avoid comment and speculation at this early stage

Which is quite forthright .

Re: Stabbing attack on train

The trains I was on earlier both were coming from and heading towards Cambridge. It's quite concerning not feeling safe :no:

Sky news reporting two people arrested -no further information

The British Transport Police declared a major incident, and at one point declared “Plato”, the codeword used when responding to a terrorist incident, however this was later rescinded.

Two people have been arrested by the police, one of whom a witness said was tasered.

One eye-witness reported the knife-wielder to be a black man dressed in black clothing.

Witnesses have spoken of seeing a man with a large knife and passengers hiding in the toilets to escape the rampage.

One told The Times there was “blood everywhere” and people were getting “stamped” on by others as they tried to flee.

Re: Stabbing attack on train

Nine with life-threatening injuries, so not a case of wildly flailing a large knife around. A determined set of attacks.

You can safely say the passengers on the train were being terrorised.
Both those convicted in the murder of Lee Rigby, were both born in Britain. Means nothing.

Re: Stabbing attack on train

home secretary issues statement saying both suspects are British born

Re: Stabbing attack on train

Just wait and see what comes out about the motive.

Two people being arrested is odd; it doesn't fit the pattern of some of these previous incidents, especially if it's not terrorism related.

So what? Are all those that are British born carrying out these sorts of attacks? Or is it overrepresented in certain groups?

my first thought is this is a calm the people down exercise, the old nothing to see here approach, only time will tell
