Finsbury Park: Several people hurt after vehicle hits pedestrians

No he was banned because he completely ignored this post I made earlier.

Some people need to show more respect for the dead. If you cannot do that, find another forum.

This is supposed to be a forum where people help each other, and share experiences about life in Cyprus. We have political sections, because lets face it, some of us, myself included, do like to argue occasionally. But if anybody just wants to post nothing but hate, they really do need to find another forum.

So, have police arrrested his family, network of contacts or acquaintances?

Why would they unless they thought he was part of a terrorist cell? Or are you inferring something else?

Only because assumptions are always made when it’s a Muslim incident, that they must have been radicalised or family and friends must have known about it.... therefore one would assume that the police would have done the same with the Finsbury driver, to ascertain his intentions. If they didn’t then accusations of bias could be made.

Bassman has left the building. Let us draw a line under that now.

After all his Bisley photos, expert 303 sniper, it would seem that he shot himself in the foot here on PL....

Arrests are intelligence led....not a knee jerk reaction or just procedure....I think the police and security services probably came to the conclusion that this was not a terrorist led attack very early on in the proceedings....apparently his intended target was the annual "Al Qud" anti Zionist/Israeli March in London, which if you believe the press and police reports (he was found crashed out in a van the night before) he probably missed because he was so hung over....a nasty dispicable racist yes....a terrorist, I doubt it.

I disagree, after the Westminster Bridge attrocity, they immediately arrested family and friends of the perpetrators. No intelligence showed on two of them, so it was intelligence gathering.

I agree the Welsh bloke was different, but applying different rules, creates division.

Just to clarify, he wasn't Welsh he just lived there.
