Sky news anchor is really holding it together. Hes on the verge of tears the poor fella.

What a horrible, horrible situation.

They clue was,He was known to the MI6.

When have the police said that?

The clue is the Police run the investigation, not social media or the MSM.

It's odd

For me, any attack of this sort is an act of terrorism, regardless of who carries it out.

I guess what they mean it's not carried out by someone liked to a terrorist group, and how would they know that just hours after the incident? You would need to do some real digging to find out if they are linked to terrorism. There's no way you could conclude that in hours. You would need to check any technological devices they have, recover any deleted information, check who they associate with etc.

There's no way that can be determined within hours

Terrorism is defined as violence with a political purpose.

A mentally ill person who believes he has been sent messages by god, or someone who thinks thinks he has a pact with the devil and killing people will increase his chances of winning the lottery are not terrorist attacks.

CC Kennedy just said detectives are working in liaison with Counter Terrorism (CT) officers-it’s v early in the investigation. Trust the police on this.

I wouldn't trust the intelligence services to look after a cat half the time

Plenty if attacks have been committed by people who were on a "watch list"

Fair enough

But I still don't believe they can conclude that in hours. You would need to do digital forensics and whatnot to rule it out.

Probably easier to just say it's not terror related and work backwards. Suits them to do that.

It’s wider than that but it’s incredibly early in the investigation-I doubt he’s remotely close to being interviewed-it’ll prob be tomorrow. Facts/evidence may emerge that means he is then rearrested under TACT (which then gives them 2 weeks to deal).
