A member of train staff who intervened to protect passengers as the service approached Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire remained critically ill in hospital but his condition was now stable, Heidi Alexander said. She said there was no evidence of a terrorist motivation, adding that she could not be drawn on the possible mental health of the 32-year-old suspect after witnesses to his arrest recounted him talking about the devil. One witness said the suspect had asked the police to kill him. Alexander said there would be visible patrols of British Transport Police officers at stations for the next few days to reassure passengers, but rejected the idea of security scanners or arches.
For once, a Minister isn’t taking a knee-jerk approach, because it’s clearly a non-starter. So much so even a Labour dimwit can see it.
“We have thousands of railway stations across the UK, and those stations have multiple entrances, multiple platforms. What we can’t do is make life impossible for everyone, but we do need to take sensible and proportionate steps to make the public transport network safe.”
So how about making life - free and part of society - impossible for the perpetrators of such rampages, who appear to be overwhelmingly black and often have had several run ins with the authorities before they launch their final attack? No? Didn’t think so!
