Latest terrorist attack.

[Cirrus]

The BBC state the police are aware of the dead man’s identity but are not confirming it. What news source did you see this on?

Watching the news, ITV as I typed it.

I’ve just come across it on the BBC site now, thanks.

Yes, racist thoughts. Have I come to the right thread?

Dunno, have you?

Can't you get your squaddie mates to sort them out?

I'm sure if allowed they would.

Syrian asylum seeker according to the news.

Surprise, surprise. At least he was made to feel welcome. 🥰

Why do you say that? I've yet to see the Syrian bit or his immigration status confirmed. It is though being reported that he was a very recent convert to Islam.

Been reported that he's a recent convert to Christianity.

BBC is saying an "Asylum Seeker", and, a recent (2017) convert to Christianity?

Syrian asylum seeker according to the news.

If you've received asylum, are you still a seeker?

IAMFI! ✌

According to the Mail his asylum applications were refused. Current headline says he was Jordanian, so wouldn't ordinarily qualify for asylum in the UK anyway (unless there were unusual circumstances).

What now seems to be emerging is the all too common pattern of a young man with disturbed mental health.

There may have been (arguably should have been) a justified grievance over how long it took to process his Asylum claim.

No. If you're given asylum you become a refugee with leave to remain.

His host family (the old couple) reported that he spent several months in an instituion/clinic. If so, then he got a lot of state help - maybe he was always an outlier whom the system would struggle to "fix" (irrespective of nationality/religion etc)

Yeah, ruddy liberty having to wait for your easylife seeker claim to be processed.

All the guy's done is attempt mass murder, and what do we do?

Investigate him as a terrorist.

We should be building a memorial to him instead.
