Writer`s Release

Terrible stuff. Just up the road from where I used to live :S


I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

What`s being reported is that the two attackers killed the man, then shouted `Allah Ackbar" and tried to get passers-by to take their picture. What isn`t reported yet is that according to a few twitter feeds of witnesses, the victim was beheaded

Writer`s Release

Steady, men. No details have been confirmed and the last thing we need is folk panicking. If this is a "terrorist incident", then it`s a game changer.

My facebook feed is full of `Send `em all back` comments. And one thing stood out in one of the BBC live updates. "A couple of `Muslim-looking` men...."

Islam`s a religion, not a race

EDIT: ITV released a video of one of the assailants. Not exactly what I`d call `muslim-looking`.

That is a really weird feed from ITV News. It`s the reactions of the onlookers I find quite bizarre. If I had a camera and had filmed an incident like that and one of the perpetrators approached me, I would run for it.

Oh, and chummy in the video sounds home grown rather than from somewhere send-backable.

Exactly. Nick Robinson has since tweeted: "To those offended by my describing the attacker as of "Muslim appearance" - I was directly quoting a Whitehall source quoting the police."

Quotey-quote

Great. Some poor Asian kid will get his head kicked in by a pack of baying skinheads and everybody will forget terrorists and start wringing their hands about race hate.

Just had a `conversation` with a EDL neanderthal on another board. It`s hard to speak rationally with someone who keeps talking about a `muslim invasion`. I think several brain cells are leaking out of my ears
