A man wearing a Help For Heroes T-shirt has reportedly been hacked to death by two machete-wielding assailants in broad daylight in south-east London.
The two knifemen are understood to have been shot by armed police, although Scotland Yard will still only confirm officers had been called to reports of ‘an assault’ on John Wilson Street at around 2.20pm.

Eyewitness James Heneghan told LBC 97.3 he and his wife had witnessed two men hacking at a third with two large kitchen knives.
‘We saw the whole incident,’ he said fighting back tears. ‘They were hacking at this poor guy, hacking him, chopping him.’
Mr Heneghan claimed one of the suspects had pointed a gun at his wife before they jumped back into his car and called the police.
He went on to claim that after the men had attacked the victim they dragged him into the middle of the street ‘like a piece of meat’.
A group of women then rushed to the victim to shield him from further attacks, Mr Heneghan continued, as the two knifemen stopped a passing bus and encouraged passengers to take pictures of them while they posed with their knives.
Woolwich and Greenwich MP Nick Raynsford said that he understood the victim to be a serving soldier from Woolwich Barracks.
‘I’ll be talking to everyone who is involved, we will be trying to do everything possible to try and ensure calm in the area. People will be very, very shocked,’ he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
‘We think a serving soldier was the victim. We don’t know the circumstances surrounding the incident.
‘We do know a number of weapons have been seized. They include a gun, various knives, and a machete, apparently.

No speculation about motives or identification of the killers.
We can draw our own conclusions therefore quite reasonably.
Muslims again.
Mohammed was a child rapist.
Britain already has knife control.
Really.
“The law already prohibits the possession of offensive weapons in a public place, and the possession of knives in public without good reason or lawful authority, with the exception of a folding pocket knife with a blade not exceeding three inches.”

No worries, it needs as much exposure as possible. Thank you :-)
In England's Sharia courts, Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a probably a "good reason."

The EDL is the only hate group that accepts “people of all races, all faiths, all political persuasions, and all lifestyle choices”.
Happens all the time in Mexico though with beheadings too.
Apart from the inconvenient fact that the man was already dead when they moved to shield him.
Clearly they are potential terrorists.
Well, the US does too. Not allowed to carry switchblades around, except under extreme extenuating circumstances.
Not funny.
Dont start bringing facts into this.
“it’s just cold, very cold”
It’s almost time to “set our faces like flints”!
