Hmm. People seem strangely keen to push the 'mental illness' angle on this stabbing

It's not just them, Pat. It's not a BBC conspiracy. The Times is doing exactly the same thing and people are making the same comments as you underneath. Maybe the govt have demanded that the media cover these things in this manner?

I haven't seen a name published. Given that the mass murdering crazies, whether done for supposed religious reasons or not, probably want their name to become (in)famous, it makes some sense to not publicise the name.

No, the name has been published. He's called Zakaria Bulhan. Here's the chubby-faced white fella.

Attachment 245

Oh, and this 'Norwegian national' has lived here since he was 5. I'm prepared to guess he doesn't speak a word of Norwegian.

That's where you are wrong Burney. He was screaming 'Gud er stor' 'Gud er stor' as he was stabbing people.

It's strangely not showing at all on the BBC home page.
