    This is a serious incident. Please do not trivialise it, or indeed try and out-think the authorities and determine motivation and background. Yes it's been treated as a terrorist incident. We know little else at this stage beyond the numbers injured (indeed we do not know the status of the victims), location and the like

    Quick and proper response from police.Anyone stabbing people randomly in a public place deserves no mercy from the police who are there to protect the public.

    Yes I never thought the Methodist-Presbyterian civil war would come to Streatham though.

    A busy part of London on a Sunday afternoon. So many people out and about, most likely just enjoying their life considering the day, time and location. Rip.

    Edit: I misread the casualties. Speedy recoveries instead.

    Streatham is an odd place to pick for a terrorist attack.

    I doubt Brexit has anything to do in with it in fairness. A mad fool who has ideas which most of the world find idiotic is more likely I reckon.

    Can we not merge the multiple threads and put them in the CA forum where they belong?

    Because it is....

    No normal person goes out to kill strangers yet alone with a suicide vest fake or real.....

    These absolute fcuking dumbest dumb fcuks need to be executed.

    Of anyone actually thinks this is ok then they really need to seek help.

    Nobody has the right to take another's life.

    I fully understand if other countries get involved in issues outside their own but I do like to think the likes of the UN is there to help the ordinary folk.

    Corruption across the world is shocking and how some countries treat their own people is beyond comprehension.


    We really need to have better laws and powers to stop all of this.


    I really hope all involved are ok apart from the scum that of course met the outside pavement temperature challenge....

    My daughter of 11 still speaks of the attack in Manchester, we are here in Ireland, from here and she is mad about Ariana.... But it hits home, some absolute fcuking moronic tool could kill such innocent kids and adults it's just beyond me.

    Police in plain clothes and backup uniformed on the scene within minutes. Kudos.

    They know when to call a terrorist attack. Intelligence and surveillance based I suppose.

    Best to shoot them dead IMO. No good will come of show trials and the costs of keeping these nutters behind bars. Sorry for the rant. Hope those injured will be OK.

    Some far right nutter most likely. Disgruntled that brexit isn't turning into some white supremacist wet dream. This sort of thing is Boris Johnson's and farages legacy upon the world.

    Eh????



    Maybe because he stabbed, struck at least 7 people and had a suicide vest strapped to his fcuking dumb as# body. What a moron....

    Seriously people that do this are deranged and absolutely are pussies

    Obviously could be a fake vest but still not normally a thug just on a normal stabbing.

    No it isn't, seriously nobody in their right mind wants this.

    I don't want to be walking down the street and get murdered....

    That's what this is murder in cold blood...

    Better laws needed.

    Take it up with the cops. I can only guess they had the person on their radar.

    Best use of police issued equipment to be honest, nothing better then training on a moving target....

    Hand guns though are very inaccurate and the weapons used by the UK tend to be much more accurate.

    Neither do I but farage and Johnson stoked up the cave dwellers with this brexit fantasy and we'll all pay for it. Europe is becoming increasingly illiberal, the clocks going back.
