I awake this morning to find that Britons have been afflicted by yet another mass casualty stabbing attack. Following very shortly after the murder of Wayne Broadhurst in Uxbridge, who was killed in a mass stabbing attack allegedly by an Afghan migrant, comes the news that ten people have been injured, with nine of those being seriously injured, in a mass stabbing attack on train passengers in Cambridgeshire.
The attack happened about 19:30 last night as the train, travelling from Doncaster to London left Peterborough. At 19:40 police were called and the train made an emergency stop in Huntingdon.
The incident has, according to outlets like Sky, been declared a terrorist incident but there is speculation on social media about whether or not that declaration of a terrorist incident has since been rescinded. We will of course not know whether this is terrorism, or mental health or just plain criminality until later when charges and court cases happen, but the nature of the attack is going to make many wonder about potential terrorist motives.
This was a truly horrific attack. Imagine if you will being stuck on moving train, something tens of thousands of Britons do everyday for work, business or pleasure and suddenly the normal train journey turns to horror and bloodshed. Imagine seeing a man slashing at the necks of other passengers with no means to defend yourself and no means of escaping the train of having no other direction to run apart from the end of the train that doesn’t contain the deranged knifeman or knifemen.
Attacks like this used to be the sort of incident that back in the 80’s or 90’s would have occupied the Press for several weeks, think how the UK press covered the Soham Murders for example to have an idea how this sort of incident might have been covered. Now that we have random mass casualty knife attacks becoming an almost weekly occuranc, such attacks fall out of press and therefore the public’s view much more swiftly.
It seems that the police and other emergency services did a brilliant job of treating those injured in this attack and apparently the police have arrested two men in connection to this heinous attack. From what I can gather the emergency services did their jobs well.
Praise of any sort cannot be aimed at those who govern us however. The response to this attack by two of the holders of Great Offices of State was either bland or heavily laden with the sort of bullshit that has poured another barrel of boiling oil onto already troubled waters. The Prime Minister’s tepid response, calling the attack ‘deeply concerning’, has already attracted a whole lot of, in my view at least, justified criticism. The statement about the attack made by Shabana Mahmood the Home Secretary was only slightly warmer than that of Keir Starmer’s. She said she was ‘deeply saddened’ by the attack and said that two men had been arrested. Mahmood also gave the usual and infuriating ‘guidance’ about not speculating about this attack. The response to Mahmood’s ‘no speculating’ was predictable with people asking why we should not speculate about or discuss such an appalling crime especially as it’s doubtful that such speculation at this stage would affect what is already going to be a high profile trial of these men. Others wondered if the reason for the demand for no speculation is down to what the Home Secretary might know but might not be telling us about this attack and that is the nature and identity of the attackers? It could be the case, some said, that these attackers might be some of Labour’s ‘demographic pets’ or recently arrived savages and Labour would therefore have every political incentive to keep such information away from the public for as long as possible or to try to manage public opinion if this attack is what some suspect, a terror or jihad attack.
As I said in my previous article about the Wayne Broadhurst murder, none of us are truly safe from the disaster zone that we live in thanks to generations of Britain’s political classes. The mass import of dangerous people and dangerous ideas and ideologies has created a situation where we are not even safe from assault on trains as well as many other places and situations. A train, a kids dance class, outside Parliament, a Tube car, London Bridge (twice), someone walking the dog, someone waiting in a queue in a bank, they’ve all been targeted by those toxic human sludge elements in our society many of whom should quite frankly never have been here in the first place. All societies create their own wrong’uns (Workers Revolutionary Party anyone?) but there’s no positive reason why more wrong’uns and more wrong and incompatible ideologies should have been brought into Britain. As a policy it serves none of us Britons any good at all.
This was a truly horrifying attack with the usual bland ‘don’t look back in anger’ response from our useless government and equally useless political class in general. I will leave you with something that both moved and frightened me and made me even more angry than I already was at what has been done to us. It’s a purported first hand account of the attack. In it the witness said that the knife-wielding savages were apparently randomly targeting people including women and children. This eyewitness report comes from Oli Foster, a Youtuber and X user who was on the train. Here is his X thread on the attack.
‘I was on the Huntingdon train. I only know of one attacker, he got on the train from Peterborough. He was black mid 20’s. We ran from the back of the train to the end as everyone was screaming to run, explaining there was somebody stabbing everyone and everything.
At first I thought it was a joke, but quickly I realised they were serious. Some people coming thought he had a gun, we really didn’t know what we were up against. As I ran I put my hand on a chair, when I looked at my hand it was covered in blood.
There was blood on the top of countless chairs, coming from 2 of the guys who had been severely stabbed ahead of me. A young girl was distraught as the attacker tried to stab her, but a hero of an older man got in the way taking a gash on his forehead
And I think another on his neck. We all ran to end the of the train and pretty soon we realised it was a short train. Everyone was queued at the front and I was one of the people at the back of that queue.
I was standing there with a few others trying to find any kind of weapon, one person I knew got ready with a Jack Daniel’s bottle. I had nothing. For what felt like 10 minutes, I watched that carriage doorway waiting to see a figure appear.
I knew he had a knife from everyone’s wounds but from somebody’s previous comments there was a chance he had a gun. So I stood there praying. We all tried to keep calm but you could feel everyone’s adrenaline.
The train eventually stopped. And I thank god I didn’t see anybody come through that doorway. Everyone ran out the train at Huntingdon, and as I ran out I looked to my right knowing that’s where the attacker would come.
And that’s when I saw about 20 people running in pure panic. Atleast 3 of which were covered in blood. One guy was holding his stomach of which blood was pouring out, shouting, ‘help help, I’ve been stabbed.’
We all ran together, being completely unarmed against an attacker or attackers that we thought had a gun, you really did feel helpless. To the police’s credit, as we left the train station, they were all arriving. The response was really good.
Then the scene became everything you’re seeing on social media. I’m not sure how travelling on trains will feel after this. I haven’t really processed it all. It felt genuinely surreal and is something I don’t wish anyone to experience.
Knowing somebody has weapons and you have nothing, knowing they’re willing to strike woman and I think children. It wasn’t the England I grew up in. That was barbaric.’
