A 19-year-old Norwegian man of Somali descent attacked six people with a knife in central London's Russell Square at around 10.30pm last night.Remember, when seconds count, the police are only six minutes away.
"The police came to the hotel and a guest was telling them what he saw. He said there was a madman running around with a knife just lunging at people randomly and stabbing them. He was just going for anyone he could see."

THE INEVITABLE CLOUSEAU MOMENT:
"Police sources added that he has shown no signs of radicalisation."You mean... apart from the wanton butchery.

UPDATE: Yet another "coincidental Muslim"
In his press conference earlier, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer said: "This attack will cause concern."Rowley, Rowley... that sounds so familiar...
Britons should ‘run away as far as possible’ if Islamic State terrorists hit London, said Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley. "People should flee rather than ducking down where they are - and then hide once they cannot flee any further from the attack."Oh, it gets better...
There is a subtle change in the Met's latest statement where it says, "We focus... on mental health while retaining an open mind". Earlier statements included the line "terrorism remains one line of the inquiry being explored," but that has now been removed.Remember, this attack occurred at the site of London's bus bombing terrorist attack.
