    It was disgraceful actually looking back on it, and shows what a huge influence Saudi Arabia has over the UK. Hopefully though with their war against Yemen leading to mass starvation and killing a journalist people will start to question our government's unquestioning fealty to them.
    A man who was having a heart attack and may have died anyway.. I've encountered 'victim blaming' before, but this takes it to a new level.

    I think it rarely helpful to label a crime in one way or another and, in consequence, whether the killing to which you refer was a terrorist offence is largely irrelevant to my mind. What I do find disgraceful is your attempt to minimise the crime and focus on the politics.

    I'm not victim blaming just saying that this incident and the terror attacks in London and Manchester were in no way equivalent.

    Also since then there have been several incidents where Muslim men have run people over and they weren't called terrorist attacks.
