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.

No way would it or will it be treated as a racist attack. Can't have statistics telling the full truth can we?
Islamic terrorists in this country, who'd have thought it?
How many normal people carry guns, machetes and knives around in their car? The attack was by TWO guys, not just one person losing the plot. There is a report that says that they ran the guy down with the car first.
