Will be interesting to see how Katie Hopkins and the daily mail spin this.Originally Posted by Croesy Blue
Absolutely shocking, RIP to the victims.
Police are saying potential terrorist attack. I don't think they need to hedge their bets. Another horrible incident, and perhaps the start of an ugly escalation of revenge events.
The vehicle involved is from Pontyclun Van Hire according to reports.
Certainly is - pictures of it on Sky News
RIP to the victim. I hope it stays at one fatality, but it's got to the stage now where I see that and almost think "that's good, it could have been so much worse".
I'm with TOBW on this. I hope there are no more casualties.
ISIS strike again in the form of far right idiots
I knew this comment would be up there with one of the first.
Did you look around the media to see how they were representing it or did you just write this before knowing.
By the way, the media are calling it a terrorist attack.
"Pro-Islamic State channels are using reports of the incident in Finsbury Park to incite Muslims, according to groups which monitor jihadists."
How did the van get from here to London? A local connection perhaps?
What is far more worrying is how a minority of imams and extremists will spin it.
A Muslim on BBC news earlier began saying he blames the media for the amount of Islamophobia in Europe currently. And they play a big role in attacks like this one.
They cut him off within 5 seconds of him saying it.
M4?
Certainly were on radio 4 this morning.
Most decent people would think this attack was appalling and just as horrendous as the other attacks in recent weeks.
You would hope so but not if these contributors to Yahoo News are representative of the people....

Heart Radio and BBC & Sky news are all calling it a terrorist attack
Islamophobic extremist terrorism is as disgusting as Islamist extremist terrorism & must be treated as such.
Shit I walked past there on Saturday night
I'm ahead of uk time so when I first started looking there was no mention of a terrorist attack or it being considered a terorist attck.
I just thought it would be interesting to see if it was reported the same way as the others considering the leanings in the media etc. I still haven't seen the Jo Cox murder called a terrorist attack despite it being the definition of one.
Latest is that the driver "seems to have mental health issues".
It could be argued that perpetrators of this kind of act are not mentally stable period.
Ah ok.
I think Sadiq Khan gets criticised but in these situations he is about the best around.
He called it what it was
Hope the fella isn't a Welshman. Embarrased enough by our country as it is at the moment.
Eyewitnesses report that he said "I want to kill muslims" so with what's being said at the moment, I doubt it's as intricate as Sunni vs Shia.
Reporting of this incident will have to be different as the culprit is still alive, so there will be a forthcoming trial.
Disgusting comments.
Why?
