    "Originally from Cardiff", not "terror related". Despicable liar.
  • @misssparkle8317
    "The investigation is in its early stages" and yet "not being treated as terrorist related" pretty quick to rule that one out? Why did they even mention terrorism if its not related?

    The Guardian and the BBC will be begging the police to say his " mental state is being assessed " So they can push the mental health BS again.

    A female police officer has her nose broken and the criminal says they did nothing wrong as they don’t value women and are protected. Hurt kids who cannot defend themselves or run away. Utter cowardice and we know who the perpetrators were not….

    Not terrorism though the victims and their families are shook to the core

    Instead of patronising tell people his name. And '17' is not a boy
