Stop using mental health as an excuse ffs ive got mental health problems and i dont attack anyone.😢😢😢

[BALDYMANS]

What, s the betting. he's not White not British and not a Christian and not mental

[Nomamepresent]

Interesting they didn't show the man's picture! Mental health? Drove away on a moped...

[HPugwash]

Notice a lack of picture of the suspect, covering something up are we?

[michaelwilson]

Why is everything mental health these days. He purposely targeted a British soldier

[michaelwilson]

Must be one of these imported surgeons on a training day

[Steve-ysig]

When they do not release a description or do not show a picture you can be pretty sure the attacker is of another race or religion. Mental Health problems what a load of bull

[beendoneagain]

Starmer is shocked and saddened by this event but will continue to let them come here by the boat load.

[TheHonestJock]

Telegram channels have released a picture of the dude, would you believe its shockingly a chunky dude of the African persuasion, who could have foreseen this

[simoncoleman]

No information on the ethnicity of the suspect...of course.

My sons git mental health. I worked in mental health. Real mental health sufferers strive to survive to plan to cope not go around killing people. Drove off in moped, pucked his victim, and knew what he was doing.

[PhantomPlayin]

I knew the mental illness card would come out what a joke our country is

[localwalker]

Absolute bollicks lets guess what colour it is

[Cappellano]

I appreciate they don’t want to panic the public but saying it was not terror related before even completing the investigation is ridiculous.

[Dealsourcer]

Meanwhile we cannot even carry pepper spray etc countries a joke

[StellaKnights]

we knew his colour before we saw him and I bet I can guess his religion too, but its mental health, yeah right, I despise the MSM

[stevo]

You can always tell by the lack of description that the guy wasn't named something like Dave Smith lol. Totally shocked he pulled the old mental health card as usual.

[Rock-xs]

Yes definitely got mental health problems, so what ? this doesn't mean he wasn't motivated by his beliefs, which where ?

Please do some real reporting

[Witchfinder.General]

Diversity is such a great strength it requires 24/7 governmnet propaganda to remind us and criminalising anyone who might disagree

[Kampala]

Still no picture of the killer's face. We've seen the photo of him, not pixelated out, on new media. It's the same guy, wearing the distinctive top in your photo of him being arrested. Why don't you show the public?
