‘An eyewitness reported a man arriving in a taxi earlier on in the day, got out, refused to pay for the taxi."

The seventeen-year-old who stabbed children in Southport arrived in a taxi, refused to pay, and then walked straight into the venue where the children were on summer camp, reports The Times’s crime editor Ben Ellery. “Neighbours recalled this horrendous shouting and screaming” and “unimaginable scenes of terror.”

    I don't get it .....two little children murdered , six others critical and two adults critical all of whom must have been terrified . How isn't this a ' terror attack ?'

    How can you say we don’t know a motive but it’s not terror related in the same sentence . It’s ridiculous.
  • When are we going to make a stand and say enough is enough? Honestly, I'm embarrassed at how pathetic and spineless us brits have become, it's shameless. Bbc, sky news and every other mainstream media outlet you should be proud you've done your job perfectly 👏
