How much you wanna bet the guy is a refugee? I am gonna place my bet not very high as I also think the guy could just be mentally disturbed
EDIT: He is a British citizen, so I guess it's the latter

It always seems to be second generation migrants as opposed to actual ones who get up to this crap. Not exclusively but enough to ask questions on why the parents seem to settle fine but their offspring turn out to be psychopaths?

Let’s call this, what it probably is- an Islamist terror attack.

He has been named as Ali Harbi Ali. Police believe that he may have been motivated by Islamic extremism as he had already been referred to Prevent, which is the government counter- extremism programme.

Muslim community leaders in Southend have condemned the fatal stabbing as an “indefensible atrocity,” adding that the father-of-five was an “upstanding friend to our Muslim community”

I think this has something to do with the lack of a plan when accepting immigrants. There might be economic reasons and short-term motivations to allow immigration, but probably not as much thought is given to 15 or 30 years later. Parents necessarily bring with them their home culture, and communities can form cultural islands with values that we might object to as being unbritish.

It's difficult to talk about this subject because to a lot of people it starts to sound like bigotry if you imply that one country's (particularly your own's) values are better than another's.

I think most of us take democracy and various cultural norms for granted. We've had them our whole lives and we don't think about how valuable and fragile some of them might be. In my opinion, more important than being tolerant, diverse, inclusive, etc., we must have security of our non-negotiable values. Right now it feels like very few things are non-negotiable, and little thought is given to protecting them. On the contrary, a lot of people see it as racist to do that.

Douglas Murray has a lot of interesting things to say on this topic. He's got some talks on YouTube (and a book but I haven't read it).

I will have a look when I can.

Confident it is terror related. Somalia is a Muslim country. May the dead man rest in peace.

5 years since Jo Cox was killed and now David Amess.

There needs to be more protection for MPs.

Correct.

It could well be that the parents were not brought up in a culture that demonised white people to such an extent as ours does.

His book The Strange Death of Europe is excellent and essential reading for anyone whatever their views are on understanding the immigration crisis.

Homophobe killed by a Muslim, would have thought they would be bedfellows.

Not really.

Economic necessity almost always overrides social values- it's why even ultraconservative Muslims still vote for ultra progressive parties.

Hell, if say Japan or South Korea had a party that **** all over its own heritage and people in order to better facilitate white Christians I'd probably vote for them. No doubt my progeny would then go on to keep up the grift claiming how oppressed they are by "East Asian Supremacy..." . :p:
