      They may be, but it may not be. Just calling it terrorism doesn't make it so.

      Well, no. You'd hope they are basing this on knowledge they have. The Met are pretty good. They don't say this for no reason.

      Investigating it as terrorism is normal given recent events, but for it to be terrorism special conditions needed.https://he.palgrave.com/page/detail/Rethinking-Terrorism/?K=9780230573765 …

      Not disagreeing with that. Someone suggesting no-one calls it terrorism when white ppl attack a targetted group but they did. Instantly.

      Agree, what's interesting abt most terrorist attacks is that they don't target specific groups; they don't care who is in attacked group.

      They might not take care to ensure there are no members of their own group in there but there is a target.

      1/ obviously, people on London Bridge is a target. But you don't know that they are all Christians, capitalists etc. And they don't care

      No. Random attacks will always include people who don't hold the values terrorists are targetting. But pereived as representing them.

      They wouldn't have done it if they'd been in Pakistan. It was an attack on the British public even tho many non-Brits got hurt.

          Lol. Well my point is that we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions on any of these attacks to early.

          And mine is that claims that no-one is calling this terrorism because the attacker is white are demonstrably false.

          Lol, yes and because it's false, then it means some are prematurely calling it terrorism, when it may not be. So we're both right.

          Well, the police are calling it 'potential terrorism' to be fair which they did at first with the recent Muslim attacks too.

          No. London bridge was Brit public, irrespective of identity. Finsbury is different. Highly targeted at specific section of Brit Public.
