O/T attack in Southport.

I'm not sure it is that new clarkey as most of what the IRA were doing 50 years ago was labeled that way. However, I'm not sure what purpose it serves in this instance or in fact in any instance, does it make the families of the victims feel any better or worse? I doubt it. Same goes for the ubiquitous "Hate crime" label. Just label it what it is, a crime!

Sorry - just re-read it and your reference was to 'not terror related'.

I’m sorry Cam but that’s just not good enough. A crime is a theft or a burglary for example.
To label this as simply a crime is everything what’s wrong nowadays.
It’s far worse than that in fact the worst act possible.
You can’t simplify this.
I’m not suggesting you don’t care as much as the next person but i fundamentally disagree with you.

Sorry BOTN, in no way was I trying to diminish the atrocity of the act, just the way in which the media/governments want to pigeon hole them related to race/religion/nationality/s.exual orientation etc. Motive doesn't diminish or excuse the atrocity.
