If the police had just responded and shot them, it would have hit the news as a racial motivated attack and forgotten within a week. Minus the beheading, these things happen daily in the UK.

Reporting it differently or toned down would stop others from trying the same, if they think there no-one will notice. At this stage I think this is just two people, obsessed with religion and The West, who crossed the line in to violence, rather than a terrorist cell. The accent of one them shows they have lived in London for at least 10 years, so if he was from overseas originally, he came here at a young age.

Its a terrorist attack as they look like they targeted a soldier, they were shouting allahu akbar or snackbar what ever it is that the terrorist shout all the time when they are killing inocent people. You can call it what ever you like, but i will call it a terrorist incident because i honestly beleave it is.
