Another Muslim terror attack?
Is there a Rama Lama Ding Dong Centre in town?

It must have been a policeman.
Well there’s certainly a lot of muslims in that part of the country

Left wing MP elected for the first time last year.
Sky are saying she’s in a critical condition and it doesnt look good.
Impossible!

Must be. Brits don't carry.

Prayers for a full recovery.
