London knife attacks

[P3nT4gR4m]

Looks like there's been a spot of argy bargy down south

No doubt it's all we'll be hearing about for the next fortnight or so

Time to invest in soft target defences.

Apparently a white guy and being called terrorism, most unusual.

Will be a full on shitshow if the perp is Irish, Scottish or an eu national

I go to sleep, and this happens?

[Cain]

Who's got the best reporting at the moment on the suspect, BBC?

According to the Telegraph, eyewitnesses saw police chasing an Asian man with a knife.

According to the BBC, " The BBC's Daniel Sandford says there may have been two assailants involved in the attack on Parliament.

He says eye-witness reports have referred to a "bald white man" and a "black man with goatee beard" in association with the incident. "

BBC has pictures of a suspect being treated by medical personnel.  He's a black guy with a goatee beard.

Some reports are naming the man as Abu Izzadeen (AKA Trevor Brooks), a spokesman for Al Ghurabaa, a British Muslim organisation banned under the Terrorism Act for glorification of terrorism.

BBC as far as I can tell.

Eyewitness reports again proving to be worthless.

Closely associated with the Anjem Choudary "Islam4UK" crowd, btw.

Allegedly jailed for 2 years in 2016 though.  Doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't released early, for good behaviour or whatever, but definitely requires verification now.

Channel 4 says it has confirmed he was the arrested man.

Any predictions for the next few days? Suspect may will revive various shitty bills she tried to push as home sec. If so they will pass without any argument or scrutiny.

ABC says guys solicitor says he's still in the clink?

Also thread split? This will get interesting over the next few days/weeks

[Cain]

Yeah, there seems to be some real confusion on that point.  I will say he does look like who C4 are claiming he is, but it is entirely possible the Met haven't confirmed his ID yet by DNA, and were relying on facial recognition initially.

And if he is who they say he is, the intelligence agencies are going to have egg on their faces.  He was known to them, and more than just in passing.

And he's dead so we get to play make up the motivation.
