"The attack has been formally declared to be an act of terrorism, said Laurence Taylor, the head of Counter Terrorism Policing in the United Kingdom.
Delivering a statement outside the Metropolitan Police headquarters in London, Taylor said the police believe they know the attacker’s identity but had not been able to confirm it. Two further arrests have been made."
I dread to think what further atrocity they might have been plotting, Syl.
CNN just announced an official news conference some time in the next hour or so.

For a loved one to see their dad, son, brother, friend, lying dead on the pavement after such a brutal attack, the poor man was alone, not even covered, whilst people walked past his body, scarcely giving it a second glance....how must his family feel when they see that.
People need to see this. They need to see the slaughter. If this was my father/brother/husband, damned right I'd want the world to see what these monsters are capable of. There's no more room for candle lit vigils, lessons learned and kumbaya. The Government needs to grow some fucking balls and stop this shit right now.
And they need to stop every single political march where morons scream From the River To the Sea and Death to Israel while making throat cutting gestures. And that idiot Starmer rewarding Hamas by recognising a Palestinian State? I hope he's proud of himself.

Seeing that was beyond heartbreaking.

The latest news is that there was more than one suspect, two more they have arrested and one they've yet to catch. The SAS are involved.

The killer and presumably the other two who have been arrested, were already known to the police.
There will be lots of questions to be answered. So far the police have acted bravely and brilliantly, especially the armed police and the bomb squad.

Pro-Palestine protesters have descended on Manchester centre just hours after a knifeman killed two people at a synagogue in the city.
The group of campaigners, who were carrying flags and signs with slogans such as 'Stop Starving Gaza', were surrounded by police.
A number of the protesters had their faces covered.

The President of Israel personally warned King Charles that Britain has become 'overrun with anti-Jewish hatred' just days before the Manchester terror attack.
Isaac Herzog made an unprecedented appeal to His Majesty to speak with Sir Keir Starmer to get spiralling anti-Semitism under control.
He also urged the King to speak with leaders in Canada and Australia following a huge spike in attacks against the Jewish community.

Charles is weak, more Muslim than Christian. Can't see him doing anything.
I feel there will be a civil war here, is this what they want. Killings, murder, shooting in our country. I do despair tbh.

Get the military in to disperse them, the police aren’t doing anything of note. A water cannon or two would help.
They’re agitators with no deterrent.

Some woman on the march said I don't give a fuck about the Jewish community right now.
Nice woman, not! Shows how nasty these marchers are. Waving Palestinian flags not a word said, we do that it's racist. Cops take off take off marchers.
What a country this is since Starmer came in.

"Greater Manchester Police say three suspects have been arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.
They are two men in their 30s and a woman in her 60s."
Not many women are arrested for acts of terrorism.
