Children can't just be children in this world without some type of trauma from sick people that infect our society.

[moonshoes]

What an absolute tragedy. Why attack children? Why attack anyone?

[thomasarnold]

No mercy for those who would hurt our kids.
NONE

Not terrorist related ? I think the kids were terrified ! Stop with the mental card crap .!

[TonyPearson-muyb]

This is what happens when people don't like our culture and way of life . Police saying it's mental health issues again. They need to be honest with us . RIP little ones 🙏🙏

But... they arrested Tommy Robinson under the Terrorist Act for the film, "Silenced."
Smh

Families destroyed by corrupt government policies.

This is absurd! Prayers for the people that were killed and injured.

First it was 28yo... then 48yo... now "17 yo", so they can hid the identity of the perpetrator.

According to a father on Facebook he was a migrant who came to this country last year. The ambulance workers were in tears. He is now claiming mental health issues. Clearly this was a terrorist attack and a state of emergency should be issued in the uk

[joeconnolly]

I am from UK and he was an illegal immigrant that came over in a boat last year

[moogs]

Interesting how they won't classify this as "terrorist related" yet nor describe the attacker other than their age. Odds are very high then, we know what this means as to the identify of the attacker....

This makes me so sick! How much more are we supposed to put up with???

[sneakyrodent]

More cultural enrichment. I'm heartily sick of being told that people who are concerned about this are just intolerant 'far right'.

[raineg]

Why the hell isn't this considered a terror incident?

[glendacook]

Just like here in the US. Illegals need to be deported. Prayers for all the families involved this is horrific

[Martha-LaMexa]

Not surprised at all. This is why I avoid crowds now. Absolutely disgusting. Poor kids

[pamelamolina]

Oh god that’s why I stay home. I’m getting agoraphobic

[HillyPat]

Not even animals behave this way. Why is the UK tolerating this behaviour from illegals in its country ? So sorry for the loss of these innocent souls, condolences to their families.

Class action lawsuit on behalf of the British natives, go for the political class financially and push as much media press to show all the facts as they happen. 'They' will hate this. 'They' want British natives to go rogue so don't give 'them' the satisfaction. Government has a duty of care, they are failing in duty.
