I must admit it's difficult when the English isn't particularly clear.
Did they say an old man had already collapsed in the road and had people giving him CPR before the van arrived? |
|
By:
Lots of of different versions at the moment mate, situation is unclear.
I've just heard the van driver had pulled over to help the guy who had collapsed. Hopefully we will get more details soon. |

By:
After this dreadful attack they are now saying they are going to protect muslims and mosques.
How on earth are they going to do that. There are millions of muslims and thousands of mosques?? |

looking forward to another Andre Neill "we shall fight them on he beaches" rant later

Sounds like he might be Dutch

By:
police inaction and slow reaction by ambulances
muslims no longer safe and are being victimised according to eye witness. Was this a terrorist gang or a lone wolf attack? The ceo(?) of muslim welfare says the attacker wasn't insane and knew what he was doing. |
|
By:
The young muslim organisation chap on itv news said it's british people doing this as revenge.
I think that is a bit of a slip of the tongue there!!!! Or? |
|
By:
MSM giving it the sort of way over the top coverage reserved for the Westminster/London bridge attacks.
|
|
By:
A terror attack is an attack on us all not just muslims. An attack on all British people. It could be on gays, blacks women etc. An attack on one is an attack on all.
Meanwhile a whole string of knife attacks have been carried out in London in the last few days. |
|
By:
This issue isn't helped by the fact the 'witnesses' can't get their testimonies straight.
One guy said he came and saw the van guy on the floor being held down but continued that it was definitely a targeted attack on Muslims....how could he know he only saw a mad being held down. Also, now the question is over the death, the police spokesman just said they can't assume they are connected or words to that effect. The pictures from the air show the tent positioned at a road junction, not a pavement. |
|
By:
But what we now seem to know is that there was no knife and only one guy.
This is like that game 'guess who' where you have to elimate all the liars to find the truth. |

By:
sky milking this one. Journo from sky saying blah blah grenfell, london bridge, etc 'HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE TAKE?' FFS!! How much WE can take - poor journo can't take much more eh!!! Why what has been done to him. Weird slant on things isn't it - just trying to ramp up and sensationalise.

More pop concerts and #Love ?????? It will be interesting to see how the Muslim population react to an attack on them ! I hope it will be a response of this kind and not marches with "Death to non believers" placards

Muslims are the real victims here? news 24.
Ak AAK - mars attacks. we are your friends, we come in peace. Ak AK. |

By:
Certainly a different narrative being used this time, immediately described as a terrorist attack on worshippers.
RIP to the people we have lost ![]() |

By:
This is a broken country.
Can anyone fix it |
|
By:
an eye witness who has two cousins who were run over by this guy says between 4 and 10 were killed??
|
|
By:
now sky have gone completely over the top with witnesses ranting and muslim as victim narrative
they never do this with any of the other attacks we have had which has included the 'multicultural victims' on the bridge like I said it is an attack on all. Probably by a lone wolf with mental health issues |

By:
reports are the van driver was caught short, and didnt like being refused to use the toilet,,,,

I've had the news on in the background most of the night and for what it's worth this is what I'd have my money on;
An old bloke comes out to an area where chairs are placed that is technically a road, has a heart attack and receives CPR from fellow Muslims who spill out onto the road. A guy in a van, already p issed off with being inconvenienced by this overspill and maybe a subconscious annoyance by recent events combined with the heat momentarily loses it when people are walking around in the street like its deepest Mogadishu. Panic sets in and fabricated stories generate and pass from one to another who are more than willing to turn the agenda based on some form of Freudian slip and project their own issues onto the scene. In a way of scoring points after being under the kosh because of far worse acts within their own faith. This doesn't explain however why van man was turning into a dead end, which will be pivotal in the evidence IMO. |

By:
Don't worry this will be milked and milked. Imam screaming on itv news with interview on morning britain.
Muslim council at it and of course muslim witnesses - chucking around Islamaphobia word like confetti. Young muslim organistation rep on itv said it was 'british people doing this as revenge' amazing stuff |
|
By:
At least this will give them more evidence that we need to crack down on extremists and their extreme views.

“Islamophobia. A word created by fascists, & used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”

By:
seems a bit of a weird one if it was deliberate .
going to the trouble of hiring a van in Wales, driving that distance to mow folk down . There must be nearer mosques ,and if an attempt to kill there must be far easier ways too . Normally this sort of attack is a random one not planned unless it's to grab headlines |
|
By:
Muslim council in full flow on sky on a real rant- on about the increase in hate crime and blaming mainstream media - peddling hate against islam - I am not joking - I think what they want is to establish a narrative where we will not be able to criticise islam.
|
|
By:
Blaming the mainstream media?
Two wrongs do not make a right and if this is a religiously motivated attack at killing Muslims simply because they are Muslim, then I hope the perpetrator goes down for a long time in prison. But the MSM have bent over backwards to promote an agenda of '#lovery' and '#youaintnomuslimbruvvery'. Short of Kay Burley and Huw Edwards doing a note perfect duet of 'Don't Look Back In Anger', they couldn't have pushed the consensus narrative any more if they'd tried. |
|
By:
Is it true the poor person who died there was kiiled in this horrible attack? It seems very confusing as to what actually happened here.
|
|
By:
Police said the bloke had been arrested for attempted murder so presumably don't have grounds to suspect he had anything to do with the one confirmed death (so far)
|
|
By:
The different approaches to reporting terrorist incidents will not go unnoticed. Public anger is to be kept off our screens at all costs when the perpetrators are Islamic, instead they concentrate on collective stoicism among the carnage. I have seen no news today but I assume Muslim anger is being vented in spades on the TV before the facts are even known?
|

By:

i don't disagree. but he will have to be protected/ put in solitary for the rest of his life. |
|
By:
Of course he will go to prison. Initial reports said he was arrested for attempted murder.

"....an old man had already collapsed in the road and had people giving him CPR before the van arrived ?"
Early news report on the radio last night said the same thing, a crowd of worshippers were outside the Mosque helping an old man who had collapsed in the road, then this van arrived and drove straight into them. Not clear if that was the man who died, very brave members of the community who overpowered the van driver before police arrived. So many terrible things happening this year it is just insane. |
|
By:
No media saying:
Sky: Finsbury Park Attack: One dead after 'van hits mosque worshippers' BBC: Man dies as van hits mosque crowd Why say this? To get people more angry? |
|
By:
what do people expect if young kids being blown up people being stabbed to death by muslim extremists do you think people will sit back and let this carry on without fighting back
|
|
By:
If the man had Collapsed Pre attack why was there no Ambulance there ??
No mention of Mental Illness on the BBC ![]() WTF would anyone drive a van from Wales to London to carry out this attack ,very strange .. |
|
By:
looks like it was just an accident,,guys satnav took him down the wrong street,, happens to these delivery drivers all the time,, ,, poor guy was already being attended to in the street .. then the van driver panicked,, poor van driver must be distraught.
|
|
By:
Not being funny guys, but the shot of the guy responsible showed he had a full head of dark hair, not the usual extreme right No1 jobby, he also looked Mediterranean.arabic??? or maybe it was just because it was still dark when they put hinm into the van, and I need to go to speccys.
Either way, violence begets violence, we could be looking at more innocents dying on our streets this summer because of this alone, and when added to the seemingly endless attacks by Isis nutters it looks like the violent spiral is gathering pace. ![]() |

By:
i don't think this will be the last terror attack we will see on the muslim community it's just the start after young kids getting blown up and people being stabbed their will be a reaction

Innocent people killed in multiple attacks by Muslim extremists, Muslim response; 'How are WE going to be protected against hate crime and victimisation'.
Innocent people injured/killed(?) in attack by van driving 'extremist'(still waiting on full facts), Muslim response; 'How are WE going to be protected against hate crime and victimisation'. ![]() |
