That's completely irrelevant. My point is that there's no point in driving popular people away from Twitter because they'll only set up somewhere else and take all their followers with them, ultimately leading to the demise of Twitter. #Twexit is trending.
He was on the terrorist watchlist!
Do you think there are no fake accounts on Twitter?
Not a terrorist list, he was on a watch list due to his travel interests. He had been assessed as no danger or any immediate risk. Nothing about his attack says terrorism, but it did indicate mental illness.
And as you suggest, they are not. You have to pedal to be an e-bike, which is difficult on a scooter. (I have previously not too seriously suggested a light sensor to detect scooting.)
I am beginning to worry about your mental stability. This is getting quite paranoid. I've just been for a five mile run in a relatively deprived part of London and, as on many previous occasions, have not been at any risk of being stabbed by anyone.
Jonathan, you must be slow on the uptake, or else extreme generosity of spirit. That is an assessment I made a while ago.
You are at risk, though it may be low.

"– what may have been the fatal perversions of a diseased mind".. a nice turn of phrase.Simon Jenkins in the Guardian is basically saying the same thing, here is the link.
We are quick to label the Reading attack terrorism – but there is little benefit in doing so | Simon Jenkins
In the current climate of fear, this horrific tragedy will be sucked into existing narratives. Let’s look at what we actually know, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins
"all across the country there are reports of guys randomly stabbing people in the neck"You are at risk, though it may be low.
London stabbings 2020 – latest news on knife crime, attacks and statistics
IT didn’t take long for the first fatal stabbing to happen in the capital in the new year. Sadly it appears that knife crime is still plaguing London as we move into 2020. How many stabbings …I don't believe I posted anything that could indicate paranoia. Are you saying that it's making you paranoid? If you think it's me, can you show me what cause you to think that, so that I can explain.Police link four 'random' stabbings in north London
Victims in Edmonton may have been targeted because they were ‘alone and vulnerable’
I don’t think you can say that. You have no idea what’s going on whether terrorism, nut-job, crime or accident. It can happen anywhere for any reason at any time. We all play the stats and hope we aren’t in the wrong place at the wrong time.
To a point I see where you're coming from. I worked in a part of africa where violent crime was genuinely rife. And it always happened in a random unexpected way. So practically every adult packed some form of protection (9mm, 38 etc). London is not like this. Reading was an anomaly. I have friends who live where I work ( the deprived area). Theyve experienced some pretty crime (not much). Were all quite high on self preservation. And we do have some sense of who does what to who in the community and where it's safe to go and when.
But that didn't happen this time, one of several indicators that it was not a terrorist attack. Instead he was making unintelligible speech sounds, what in a religious context is called "speaking with voices".
Really! Anyone who thinks Clinton or Obama are some kind of illuminati super conspiracy leader and the moon landings were fake because there is no way a rocket could land on a pile of cheese is totally sane in my opinion. I think vfr is a direct descendant of Mad MacAdder and as a consequence has a legitimate claim to the throne of England.
Well we now know that he is a convert to Christianity who fought with the militia on our side from the age of 16 during the conflict in Libya to overthrow Gadaffi.
Risk of death appears to be higher from covid-19 than terrorism or mental health or even both.
