Praying for the victims and hope this is not a scene of events on the way.

Very sad to see, glad to hear the only one killed is the suspect though, lets hope it stays like that!

Mowing down tourists in a car or van is a really naff way of promoting your views IMHO. What does that prove or gain for your cause?

It's a good job these people are mostly pretty useless.

And then people wonder why Trump and Brexit were victorious. It's the same reason why Le Pen will probably win too, people have had a gutfal and want to see change

The BBC will be gutted. Their despicable agenda, pure left-wing propaganda bullshit will be going into overdrive tonight

Hate the news coverage on events like this.

Switch to reporter......'What's happening Bill'

Most appropriate response would be: -

'Don't know this is just pure speculation'

But instead they speculate for hours without any real facts.

There's enough hate in the world already LeTiss without yours.
Sane, moderate people (and I include you in that) of all types should stop trying to find fault with each other.

Yes, however political correctness gags anybody from speaking the truth about that

Absolutely tragic. Important to remember that this type of thing has nothing to do with religion. It stems from an historic political concept. Unfortunately Britain are very much involved, always have been and always will, until it is sorted out.

So much of the pain and suffering in the world is caused by people. Bad people. It's people who do those things and it's people who are to blame. They may justify their acts by claiming to support 'something' (whether that's a religion, nationalism or some other tiny sub-set / grouping), but it's still their choice to act that way. And there is no justification for it.

Whilst we continue to blame entire groups of people for the atrocities of a tiny number of people, then we will continue to sow the seeds of fear and hatred, and that is just perpetuating the cycle.

We are not black/white. Supporters of West Ham/Millwall. Arab/Israeli. Religion-A/Religion-B/Atheist. We're all humans, sharing the planet.

If we negatively profile entire groups based on the actions of individuals, then there will never be peace.

I remember seeing a reply to a question about "saving the planet". The reply went something along the lines of "The planet will be fine. It's humans who need saving from themselves".

I despair for the human race at times like this.
