  1. The responsibility for this lies at the door of the British governments both Labour and Conservative for allowing violent criminals to come to the UK . And more continue to come .

  2. “Not terror related”
    Says everything about the UK.
    The UK has fallen!
    It is permanently off my list of places to visit.

  3. Any stabbing is terrible but five people (including Southport) doesn't mean the country is on the verge of collapse. In America this would barely be considered news. There have always been copycat murders/attacks. And for those asking why this isn't considered terrorism – terrorism is an act of terror carried out by an organisation to further a political goal. These attacks (Leicester Square and Southport) were carried out by unhinged individuals.

  4. An investigation needs to be made because apparently he was known to have mental issues, yet he was allowed to drive as a lorry driver.

  5. As an ex-muslims, i strongly agreed that Muslims are not allowed in UK…Islam practice in Uk must Stop…islam has hate problem and muslims are not recognising it, rather they wants to play victim card… until and unless muslims change islam or make different version of islam, Muslims can't live in peace with eachother and with non-Muslims..

  6. I am just wondering

    Hasnt all the killings of girks, riots against muslims & immigrabts started since uk govt said no to isreal? No? Yes?

  7. How DARE these immigrants comes here and try and save kids!!! The audacity of trying to save lives!!!! /s

  8. i am not from UK but seems like you guys have very bad leadership of the country
    why are people murdering little kids for no reason 😭
