Terrorist stabbing at Station.

Is he "just the kind of misfit you'd like to see housed in your village?" As in your post @23.05.26 Wed 02 Jan.

Oh dear!
MH services are under so much pressure. I wonder how much MH issues have escalated in the last...say...5yrs, 10yrs and what are the likely triggers or reasons.
Will we ever know?

The man arrested at Victoria station, Manchester was detained under the mental health act, to a secure unit. He was known to m.h services. I’ve seen some vile comments on line (not here) talking about him ‘playing the mental health card’. Nope, to be sectioned, he is very ill and a danger to himself and others, as his actions proved. Friends were on the station as the incident was being responded to.

Suit yourself batty , you choice to use the term nutter which was and is used to describe a mentally ill person.

This thread is horrible, trying to outdo each other

OK lets change it to scrounger.

batty sorry but I am upset by your use of ‘nutter’ , uncalled for.

Police description: Black, 20s-30s, 6ft with beard dressed all in back plus white trainers.

Apparently (and sadly) the victim's 14 yr old son was with his dad on the train.

I'm saying nothing in case it happens to be the truth !!

Alima
It saved writing the longer version.

Did I mention a link to terrorism? No. I have no idea of the background of either victim or perp(etrator)
I mentioned it as a stabbing st a station...as did another poster.

Perp? Has someone been watching too much American TV?
What a terrible thing to have happened.

I don't think the Horley stabbing is suspected to be anything to do with terrorism so why mention it on this thread? It seems it was the result of a fight

We know nothing about the perpretator of this atrocity.

How likely is it that it was someone with mental health issues? Of course it could have been someone with a political agenda, or it might have been both.

Well well well. Another stabbing, this afternoon on a train from Guildford (Surrey) to London Waterloo. Happened near Horley Station and perp ran. No description yet but the victim, in his 50s, died.

So there's no place in your village for a man with MH issues- a misfit?
From what you've said boasted about your village most decent folk wouldn't choose to live there.
However the lack of foreign accents and non-white faces clearly suits the Hyacinth Bucket clones!

I wonder how many have sympathy for him, a man with mental health issues who needs help?

Just the kind of misfit I'd like to be housed in my village.

Some complain about HQs deletions but I'm glad they did this one.

I received an email from GNHQ - my post was deleted because I quoted from EllanVannin's vile post.

That's taught me - next time I shall paraphrase.

Yes mcem.
Not sure why Riverwalk’s post was deleted. I thought it was a rather clever riposte and wished I’d thought of it myself.

Possibly it was deleted because once the first one had gone, as a stand-alone comment without the context of the first, it perhaps could have been seen as libellous.

Pleased to see the first deletion which was blatantly racist but not so sure why the second had to be binned.
jane looks like no amplification is forthcoming.

Yes mcem I’d like some amplification of Ellanvannin’s last post too
