Extremists fuel hate.... it's always been like this

REGARDLESS of our backgrounds, we are all stunned by Saturday's train attack.

- DARREN LEWIS

Eleven people stabbed, dozens more traumatised and thousands more will now take more than a sideways glance at the people they are crammed on to public transport with.

It affects us all. Regardless of age, race, creed or colour. Not least the hero train driver whose actions to radio for help and pull into the next station most definitely saved lives.

Or the completely innocent and distressed Black man, tasered despite his pleas he wasn't the suspect because, well, police were looking for a Black suspect, weren't they?

If youre looking for an argument for why we shouldn't routinely arm police in this country, well you have one right there.

All of us who use trains will have wondered, however fleetingly, whether it could at some point have been us trapped for what seemed like forever.

And yet the vultures thirsty for an chance to weaponise it, to cause division, were quickly out of the traps on Sunday morning.

“Britain did not used to be like this” prattled one upper class, detached from reality, pensioner MP, seemingly committed to spreading fear and loathing by highlighting crimes committed by just one demographic.
