A shopper was allegedly stabbed by a knife-wielding man at a shopping centre this afternoon.

The man in his 20s was attacked at about 2pm at Westfield in White City, West London, before police and paramedics were called and he was taken to hospital.

His condition is said to be non-life threatening, and police - who have arrested two men following the incident - insisted the attack was not terror related.

They’ve arrested two men. Why would two men attack and knife a shopper in yhe muddle of a large shopping area, making no effort to rob him. One psychotic sociopath,,okay. But two, working in concert, I think not.

The British police stated the last stabbings were committed by a man with “mental illness issues” and not terrorism ... they failed to note that all Muslims have mental illness.

Think we’re witness to a very slow start to a war on civil society. A day doesn’t seem to go by without hearing of some atrocity from the ROP in the middle east, but now we get more frequent stories from Europe..

Your sarcasm was their command: In the UK it is illegal to:

sell a knife to anyone under 18 (16 to 18 year olds in Scotland can buy cutlery and kitchen knives) unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less, eg a Swiss Army knife

carry a knife in public without good reason - unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less

carry, buy or sell any type of banned knife use any knife in a threatening way (even a legal knife, such as a Swiss Army knife) Lock knives (knives with blades that can be locked when unfolded)

Just reaping the fruits of decades of political correctness.

Europe is in a state of civil war.

At the moment only one party is fighting.

The British media acts towards terrorist attacks as the American media acts toward attacks by blacks-Deny or fail to mention.

Wouldn't getting STABBED be TERRORIFYING?? I mean, I'm only a teen, but if I got stabbed by a NUTJOB, I'd be TERRORIZED.

So, Yes it is TERROR RELATED...
