A terror attack near a London mosque is "every bit as sickening" as others in recent weeks, Theresa May says.
A man drove a van into worshippers close to Muslim Welfare House in Finsbury Park as they were gathered to help an elderly man who had collapsed. He later died, but it is not clear if this was a result of the attack. Nine other people were taken to hospital.
A 47-year-old man was held on suspicion of attempted murder and later further arrested over alleged terror offences. Scotland Yard said he was being held on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder.

Darren Osborne, 47, was arrested in the early hours of Monday on suspicion of driving a van into a crowd of Muslim worshippers in north London. He is alleged to have shouted "kill all Muslims" and "this is for London Bridge" in the wake of the attack.
Muslim residents on the Cardiff estate where he lived with his partner and four children, claimed he had previously been friendly but said his attitude had changed in recent weeks.
He allegedly hurled insults at his Asian neighbour's 12-year-old son, in the wake of the Islamist attack in the capital earlier this month.
[...] After being dragged from the van by an angry mob, he was protected by the Imam of the mosque, Mohammed Mahmoud, who ordered people not to attack him, but hand him over to the police.

Diversity + Proximity = War
The government fails to act, fails to even admit there is a solvable problem, eventually people realize they are in lawless chaos and act accordingly. We won't see counter, counter attacks, because how could we distinguish one from the normal attacks that come with such regularity. But I will say that a hundred of these 'counter attacks', hopefully somewhat more competent, would actually go a long way toward solving a problem. Immigration into the UK from the Muslim world would probably cease and even go negative. As the 'sea' dried up the terrorist 'fish' swimming in it would be easier to catch. Of course their government already has lists of tens of thousands of probable fish and refuse to act so perhaps not.
I'll just leave this quote I'm lifting from elsewhere:
"Funny how the mayor of Londonistan isn’t bleating now about whytes mowing down Muzzies is just “part and parcel of living in a big city.”

The London mayor is for all practical purposes a foreign agent in position of power.

put in place by UK intel services to serve their own purposes, as another commentard has alluded to.
