Armed police have sealed off West George Street and paramedics in hazmat suits were seen treating a person on a blood-stained pavement.

It seems they don't necessarily screen out the mentally ill ones before they arrive. You know, it's quite the process to obtain asylum, so it's a wonder the nut cases can even negotiate the process.

Aye I was just saying that to my pal it might be a nutter, she automatically thought terrorism. Time will tell

Could be both.

Word is it's a nutter that was going to be deported. So its not terrorism. Which I am happy about as that shit scares me. Not that nutters don't scare me! But you know what I mean. I have a voice clip on WhatsApp from a guy that was at the scene but I probably won't figure out how to post it.
It was breaking uk news but its subsided now they know it's not terrorism. Still shit though eh. From the clip this guy seen the maintenance worker at the hotel had been stabbed badly. And the guy says in the clip the guy stabbed loads of folk then went to his room. Then the armed police came to his room and shot him.
This is all unconfirmed obviously.

it's quite the process to obtain asylum

lived in Europe and have an ex wife who was a social worker .
She was convinced that new refugees knew as much as her about the benefits they were entitled to - as well as other countries benefits programs.

Maybe the home country is deliberately sending the worst away from their shores.
