Just got a text from my missus, doesn't sound good

It won't be anything to do with terrorism. No no. That's the official line these days.

[Finlandia]

According to expressen, no accident, at least three dead, police warning for terror attack.

Mental illness definitely, can't be religion-inspired terrorism as such a thing doesn't exist.

To be fair, details are sketchy at the moment.

However, if it does turn out to be politically or 'religiously' motivated and not a genuine road accident (or even like the Glasgow bin lorry situation), I have absolutely no faith that it will be accurately reported.

Lorry had been hijacked earlier today. Reports of five dead.

So writing plays to understand jihadists, letting them return tabula rasa and the influx of "new" swedes hasn't exactly helped them then?

Just wait until they discover that petrol tankers or those carrying pressurised calor gas containers make for a rather devastating weapon.

[BrabusMog]

Looks like someone has been arrested.

Makes a mockery of allowing stuff for religious/cultural reasons, and rightly so.

It is just a matter of time that (violent) protestors start wearing these. And then it makes a mockery of our security. CCTV, facial recognition, eye witness etc

I do hope this happens and we can get rid of this garment from our society.

You can wear what you like - but identity is important And you must be able to be identified in public. This garment is specifically designed to thwart this.

You don't think a balaclava could then be used? Or a simple mask or neckerchief?
People in protests have been covering up their faces for decades!!
Ban something worn by women because some men use it to cover their criminality...
I don't particularly like the garment but be honest at least as to why you want it banned and stop pussy footing around the subject.

Try walking into a bank with a balaclava and see how you get on.

One arrest made, shots fired at Fridhemsplan.

Can't have been a Muslim attacker - that looks like a beer truck to me.
