if the woman had been black the headline would have had a very different response.
What response do you think the headline would have had if the woman had been black?
I found that a very strange comment but refrained from replying.

Don't get me wrong I think that this is just some nutter, but if 10 IS enthusiasts decide to go on a beheading rampage in different parts of the country I fail to see how having people working 24/7 to prevent terrorism can stop thatOxBlue said:There are people in this country working 24/7 to prevent terrorist activity in the UK. Now and again someone goes bat shit crazy and it looks bad, but it's just someone being bat shit crazy.

What about Daily Mail readers? They'll be writing stiff letters to their MPs.mackenzie said:karen7 said:Oh the shit is going to hit the fan now
Doubt it Karen, to be fair.
Most Britons are not reactionary and can see a shite headline for what it is. We are better than that in the main.

I think it is a HUGE deal, so what exactly is your point ? It wasn't a white English lady that was killed, so I really don't understand what you are trying to say.
Instead of trying (and failing) to belittle people, why not explain yourself?

Don't think Hitler will get elected at the next election,he's too left wing for UKIP and the Tories.Big-P said:I don't think we are that far away from something akin to what happened in 1933 Germany happening over here. Unfortunately.

Somebody with severe mental health problems gets obsessive and violent, and then kills somebody.
Anything to do with religion? I wouldn't say somebody so deranged is done any favours by having such fantastical nonsense in his mind, perhaps someone he knew may even have foolishly and arrogantly offered him religious council or to pray the demons the way? Fuck load of good it would have done though, hey? But not even me, a raging anti-theist, isn't gong to come to such a ridiculous conclusion and blame religion for this.
Could it have been prevented? If he was known to the relevant authorities and agencies and they have "let him loose" (I don't mean he should be treated as a prisoner before anyone gets on their high horse) without proper supervision and checks, or when he should have been in residential care for his own and the public's safety. Then yes I would say there may be people who could have and perhaps should have acted differently.
Although that is just speculation for now, and without suggestion that he was known to have mental health issues we can't play the blame game.
Ignore the terrorism element, which I believe doesn't exist anyway, lets treat it as a murder- can we prevent all murders? Not in a relatively free society, we can't. And not one of you would give up your freedoms for such a society, if such an Equilibrium like utopia could ever exist in the real world.
Should we be scared? No. Should this be used to stir up hatred of Muslims? Absolutely not and if it enters the news, the real story must come out and the public should be told what really happened and stop any tensions rising.
