  1. BBC managed to make the story appear even more innocuous with a happy ending ‘Two hurt in Derby car incident, released from hospital’

  2. ‘CARNAGE ON THE STREETS, MAN DRIVES INTO CROWD’ is just the basic, factual headline that you could have used

  3. Car collision? It was a car used as a weapon intentionally to harm or kill innocent people, then driven away like a coward. Im sure if it was the other way round the headline would be much different.

  4. She can't see clearly because her hat is interfering what she can fully see. Meanwhile Epstein associates are walking free on the streets committing more unspeakable crimes as we speak. 😢😢😢

  5. Prayers for those injured and their loved ones. Praise for the emergency services and hospital carers.
    But let's not forget the guy who was driving. What mental trauma must he have been going through? I could never do that, could you?
    And now he's toast.
    Tragedy on so many levels.

  6. What a effing surprise cause it was a terrorist attack which normal person would drive into a crowd of innocent people I'm shocked the identity was given out. This country is done thanks to starmer and liebour lefties

  7. Police arrest only 1 person following bullets leaving gun, after bystanders were hit after unfortunately moving into their trajectory.

  8. This is clearly a terrorist attack from a lone wolf or a lone actor and it has the characteristics of one please I'm begging you make it make sense !!!!🤦 🤔😡🇬🇧.

  9. Just another day in Britain eh? Peace loving people at it again.

    This story has more or less been buried by MSM. If someone walked by a certain building eating a bacon sanny it would have been in the news for weeks.

  10. Not attempted mass murder then? Just a bit of a loss of control causing a minor dent in his Suzuki. Of course that’s it! Was he coming back from mass?
