A man with a knife has been arrested near Buckingham Palace, as Britain remains on critical terror alert amid fears Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi did not act alone.

The man was detained by police on The Mall just moments before the Queen passed by in a car on her way to an engagement with the Duke of Edinburgh at St Paul's Cathedral.

The Metropolitan Police said the incident is not believed to be terror-related. But a picture of the suspect at the scene would suggest otherwise.

I do believe the Brits don’t allow knife carrying any more than gun carrying.

Most people I know carry some sort of knife.

I guess he could be Jamaican, mon.

But somehow I doubt it.

Because they are not saying. So he must be a peace loving migrant from Somalia, Libya Yemen or some other God forsaken hellhole.

A couple dozen teenagers and their parents massacred is nothing compared to the electoral Power Labour will have once all these refugees start voting for them.

Can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs right?

You’re absolutely right. Its all about getting votes, just like here in the U.S. To liberals, the ends justifies the means.

Unless the coffee hasn’t settled in yet, I didn’t read what caught the attention of law enforcement. Kind of doubt this doofus just openly carrying a big ass blade openly near Buckingham Palace thinking it was good idea (Capt. Obvious).

Would assume this refugee-invader was on their terrorist watch list, and glad to see that law enforcement is being allowed to not wait until something bad happens.

The powers that be consider this as necessary collateral damage. So sad.

> I always said the Queen was next. <

A guy brandishing a knife would get shot up before he got near the Queen’s car. But a guy with a suicide vest could do some damage, even assuming that the Queen’s car is armored (which I’m sure it is).

What a mess. Would an attack on the Queen (G-d forbid) be enough to wake Britain up?

The irony is that London is caught up in not just knife violence, but to be “secure in their persons”, everybody on the street now *has* to carry a knife, though it is illegal.
