My daughter is a frequent user of the premises where this happened, taking dance classes and using the dance studio to practice every week, today she was at work when this happened, when she stays at her mum's she can see it from her bedroom window. Her mum and younger half brother were out of Southport visiting family today, they decided to stay overnight. My daughter went to her mum's to feed her cats, when I called her to talk today she was in the bedroom crying.
I live in the french countryside now but how I wish I could have been there to hug my daughter today.

Ffs, that's very profound, really brings it home how precious and fragile life is, it happens to "other people" until it doesn't, so sad, really devastating.
 
Heartbreaking it really is heartbreaking how this can happen. If what happened today doesn't change knife crime laws then nothing will. RIP LITTLE ONES.

That is reality and I imagine that was a difficult post to type. Good man

I can’t begin to comprehend what those affected households are going through tonight. Or what's ahead of them in the coming days. Sleep well, little ones.

When someone close to you dies there can be a little comfort from the grief if you know, say, that they'd been ill and the end of a life was a release or if they'd already had a long life and a good one. But these are children and the grief for the poor parents will wake them shrieking in the nights for a long time. May God, or somebody, help them.
 
Many on here, and in the public in general, have vilified the police over the past few days. But when something as terrible as this happens we expect them, and they do, to react and resolve the situation. Whist we run away from the incidents they run towards it. Those who have been bad mouthing the police should do some deep soul searching.
My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this terrible occurrence. RIP

Don’t know our prisons are full already but if you were caught with a knife serve 5 years no excuses course that would mean stop and search. PS I carry a knife every day for work purposes so i know there are some exceptions. Still wouldn’t have stopped this atrocity.

In the Airport thread there was a lot of speculation and confusion. A lot of backtracking ensued.
Is the same happening here?
We really need to wait until the facts come out rather than speculation. IMHO.

As usual, Ms. S., a voice of reason and sanity.
As quite often (seeing the pages that follow) one that's not fully heeded.

Build more prisons and make them basic as fuck. When someone is sentenced to life make it mean life. Fuck this good behaviour bollocks, if they behaved they wouldn’t have been sentenced. Stop and search should be done instead of pandering to groups that think they are being targeted. Give the police powers to take someone out who is a danger to society, if you are brandishing weapons you intend to use it. We are far too soft on criminals in this country and instead of saying lessons will be learnt after every tragedy we should actually learn lessons and prevent cunts like this from terrorising society and making honest decent people scared to leave their homes. That Bibby Stockholm barge could house 500 knife wielding twats just park it half a mile out to sea and leave them all to it

This country is not safe to walk around anymore. These random attacks prove it as they can happen absolutely anywhere. I fear for this nation and honestly believe people will start taking things in their own hands as governments don’t seem willing to address the issues. Where I live you would like to think you were pretty safe but there has been an incident here today outside the Roman baths

Just take a stroll around Piccadilly Gardens any day of the week. Loads of them wearing balaclavas (why would you do that in the middle of summer) and no police around when they should be there stopping and searching every one of them every day. The country is screwed and I genuinely fear for the future generation of inmocent kids.
 
What a tragedy. I cannot imagine the utter pain and terror suffered.
As a father of four, the thought that leaving one of my children in a dance class could result in their stabbing to death is simply beyond my comprehension.

Some of the responses here and on social media have been very regrettable in the desire to identify the nationality or religion of the attacker. Best wishes to those injured children and may those who have passed rest in peace.

100% correct.If there is no death penalty life must mean life in very basic conditions.

Sorry but I disagree. Make it mean death, hang the horrible bastard!
