I hate how the British never report a motive. They’ll just say something like “they are not treating the train stabbings as an act of terror” and “the attack was an isolated incident” as if that’s fucking normal, just another day, nothing to worry about.
Well, WTF drives someone to randomly stab 11 people??
Well it is nothing to worry about. Nothing much you can do about these isolated random incidents other than learn general life skills like some self-defence and push the authorities to keep learning when they decide on the rules about how to handle these things. So far it seems like the rail workers did good, to put it mildly, and the police response was very swift, maybe helped by Huntingdon having an armed response police station about 500m from the rail station.
Worrying and switching from trains to cars would be irrational because of their relative general safety records meaning you’re very slightly less likely to be stabbed but so much more likely to be in a bad crash.

What we don’t do is speculate on a motive before one is established based on hearsay, rumours and politicians trying to make up a narrative.
Lol good on you guvb’nor I’m sure that will work out for you enjoy London.
Because the last thing we want is this POS to get a mistrial because of media speculation about his motives predjudicing potential juries.
“Stabs 11 people” - not a terrorist.
“Peacefully protests against genocide in Gaza” - gets charged with Terrorism.
Funny times we live in.
Guess you will find out at the trial.
