    Scotland Yard is treating this morning's incident as a terrorist attack

    Well there's a shocker, eh?

    Anyway, The Independent couldn't even wait for confirmation before blaming everyone except the Allans.

    Fear not, the terrorists shall not divide us, nor shall we look back in anger.

    I think I’ve got the hang of it now.

    The argument appears to be that, by drawing attention to or complaining about instances of violent Islamic extremism, we are causing those acts. So therefore we should all shut up about it and then it will go away. It doesn't specify what happens if we do all shut up and it doesn't go away, of course, but ho-hum.

    There is also the entirely false suggestion of tit-for-tat acts - as though Islamic terrorism were simply a response to all the anti-muslim violence in the UK that doesn't actually happen. It's a tissue of lies, basically. Even Simon Jenkins wouldn't write it.

    Surely this isn’t because of the letterbox joke?

    That’s serious escalation imo

    Maybe this is their understanding of banter.

    Right. It's not their fault we don't like it up us.

    It is a little. These terrorists are so ****. I've never considered the terrorist lifestyle, but I think I could do better.
