I agree that people should wait for the facts before assuming terror, that said I don't think we need to lap up every thing we are told either.

"At 8.20am we were called to the first stabbing and that man went to hospital where he is in a serious but stable condition.
"Forty-five minutes later other calls came in to other stabbings in the area. One of those people stabbed has died.
"The stabbings were random and there appears to be no link between the victims. They were also a cross-section in terms of ethnicity.

Us north of the border get the same news as the south... There have always been random attacks, I do feel that with the recent attacks in Europe, our armed response and the media there is a slight urge to presume a link whilst maintaining the perspective that there is still going to be unrelated violent crime as there was before.
