Has any BBC/Sky/Guardian/C4 'reporter' made the connection yet as to this incident and why Donald Trump might wish to limit immigration into the USA by peace-loving, vibrant machete-wielding cultural enrichers?

Given it was The Louvre, can we expect an artists impression of the perpetrator?
Report mememe • February 3, 2017 2:51 PM GMT
Apparently, the attacker looked very young.  Witnesses reckoned he was only 23 or 24 and got left behind in Calais because he was too young to get taken into the UK.

Has the BBC reported that the perp was a mentally ill person of Asian extraction using his human rights to protest about Trump's election victory in the only way he felt he could be heard?
Report Slicer • February 3, 2017 2:54 PM GMT
Sounds like just the sort of person all the bleeding hear liberal Guardian readers think is suited to life in the UK!

Just wait and see if he is from one of the so called banned countries by President Trump.......

They think they can change their medieval behaviour by being nice and bending over for em, dr.
Report Slicer • February 3, 2017 3:03 PM GMT
Well Mr Saddo, I am trying to think of a way to phrase my response to you in a polite way. Let me use a statement that an acquaintance of mine who lives in a well known seaside town on the south coast uses-"If you bend over for them, you will be f****d in the a***!"
Report saddo • February 3, 2017 3:14 PM GMT
The luvvies will simply recommend bending over a little more. Repeating the same mistake and excpecting a different result.

Classic case of Islamophobia.
Phil Shiner travelling to Paris to arrange for the Allahu Akbar shouter to get suitable compensation.
Report Slicer • February 3, 2017 3:19 PM GMT
Apparently Phil Shiner has a previous appointment with some British ex soldiers who wish to explain to him the error of his ways.
Report mememe • February 3, 2017 3:21 PM GMT
I've just heard that it was all a terrible mistake.

Apparently the poor man gunned down by the trigger happy soldiers was a visitor from Yorkshire (Bradford it's thought).

He shouted "Ello, ee, eck, bah gum" and he was going to say "it's a bit nippy" but they shot him.

It's understood that his Asian appearance was coal dust from having done a shift downt pit.

President Francois Hollande said the situation was under control but the "threat of terrorism is here to stay".

You see Hollande has given up. The weak cowardly Liberals have simply given up. Terrorism is here to stay.

"terrorism is here to stay" ?

that sounds very much like another apologist's line

"terror attacks are part and parcel of living in a big city"
Report saddo • February 3, 2017 6:25 PM GMT
That statement may come back to haunt him, good ammunition for the right.

Goddamn final straw for me I'm afraid.

I could almost take Oliver's Army being here to stay.

But Terrorism?

NON. Arrêter maintenant!

He could have been staging a protest about the completely unjust and racist policy of the US embassy not to grant him a Green Card.

Dont rush to judgement.

In Quebec city last week initial witnesses said two gunmen were involved and one shouted the phrase claimed here.

It later turned out there was only one criminal and he was a right winger.
Report asparagus • February 3, 2017 8:28 PM GMT
Insider Trader, you will find that the right wing fascists on here always rush to judgement. They cannot wait for a terrorist attack to happen so they can justify the hatred and racism within them and the division they want to promote.
