To be fair it's an easy mistake to make. I was just on Oxford Street myself and I'm sure a lorry mounted the kerb andbploughed into pedestrians after which the bearded driver jumped out brandishing a knife and shouting "Allahu akbar". Or maybe it didn't. Who can say for certain?

it just proves the whole country is walking on glass, and is expecting something to happen at any given time. this is the new way of living, expect a terrorist attack. have it in the media a while then wait on the next and repeat. instead of actually finding the root of the problem and sorting it out.

I’d avoid Wardour st in a situation like that. Isn’t there a bomb there?

Come on, a black guy in a puffer jacket. That’s practically an Arab in a suicide belt. No wonder everyone panicked.

The risks were so much greater in the 70s, with the IRA bombings. However that was treated as crime, not <shock horror> terrorism. Have we lost the ability to be stoic?

You'd be surprised at some of the calls I take on this sort of thing, usually somebody reporting that there's a 'suspicious' person with a beard chanting, and it's usually on a Friday! But the climate being what it is we're told to take everything seriously and get it looked at. A pain in the botty hole 🙄
