          The BBC just tells you verbatim what the authorities want the people to know. The BBC is thus complicit in disinformation.

          Is Islam now referred to as a mental illness just like Muslims are now referred to as Asians?

          Nowadays,"mental health" has become a buffer zone in the fight against terrorism; the 'no man's land' btw public & authorities

          If this attack is just a #mentalhealth issue, then why the increased police presence? Increase presence of psychiatrists.

          "mental health" "mental illness" are labels that shouldn't be used here.

          must have escaped from somewhere. Doubt it's ISIS related.

          if as you say, mental health is the issue, then why need for more police? Surely more MH workers should be on street corners.

          @BBCNews Why? Is being mental contagious or is it something to do with Islam?
