Two men arrested after mass stabbing on LNER train at Huntingdon. Attack at 19:30, emergency stop 19:44. Multiple passengers slashed, blood on floors, passengers barricaded in toilets. One guard critical. Three air ambulances. Over 30 armed officers. One suspect tasered, one shot.
Two men, mid-twenties, one described by witnesses as a black male in all-black clothing, rose in the standard-class carriages, produced large kitchen knives, and began a methodical slaughter. Passengers fled to the vestibules and toilets, barricading doors
one man collapsed onto Huntingdon Platform 1 as the emergency brake bit at 19:44, gasping βTheyβve got a knife, Iβve been stabbed.β A guard who tried to intervene is critical.
British Transport Police received the first 999 at 19:39. Within nine minutes more than thirty armed officers stormed the train: tasers cracked, one suspect dropped centre-mass with a 9 mm round. Both are in custody at Parkside. No names, no charges, no motiveβyet the pattern is unmistakable. This is the third mass-knife attack on British soil in ninety days: Southportβs child-murder, Manchesterβs synagogue siege, now a commuter express turned charnel house. All three executed on soft civilian targets by individuals who should never have set foot on these islands.
dinghy-divers, visa-overstayers, asylum fabricators ferried across the Channel on the taxpayerβs tab. The pattern is not coincidence; it is statistical certainty, the inevitable harvest of forty yearsβ open-door dogma.
No names, no motive, no surprise.
Third mass-knife attack in ninety days. All on soft English targets. All from the migrant pipeline.
Borders open. Knives apparently legal and readily available for these scum, and once again itβs the Natives bleeding.

π» Are βghost storesβ haunting your feed? Donβt get spookedβhereβs how to spot & avoid them; writes Gary Mortimer
Read here: theaustraliatoday.com.au/areβ¦
1οΈβ£ Too good to be true prices
β’ Silk dress β60% offβ at $82? Check the regular markdown logic.
β’ Leather jackets under $20? Guaranteed flimsy or never arrive.
2οΈβ£ βLocalβ but no address
β’ Claims to be in Melbourne, Byron Bay, Double Bayβ¦but no phone number or street address.
β’ Google Maps shows nothing? π©
3οΈβ£ .com (not .com.au)
β’ Legit Aussie shops use β.com.auβ domains.
4οΈβ£ No ABN
β’ Pop the business name into ABN Lookupβno listing = scam alert.
5οΈβ£ Overly glowing βreviewsβ
β’ Real sites have mixed feedback on #Trustpilot. Ghost stores only show 5-star raves on their own site.
6οΈβ£ #AI-generated faces
β’ Right-click βHarry β Melbourne, artisan watchmakerβ pic β reverse image search = AI model.
7οΈβ£ Urgent βclosing down saleβ
β’ βEnds tonight!β β
#FOMO scam β donβt rush.
π‘οΈ Stay safe:
β’ Always research before you buy.
β’ Look for a physical address & ABN.
β’ Read independent reviews.
β’ Trust your gut: if it feels off, walk away.
Share this to keep friends & family from falling for these ghostly deals! π»π³ποΈ
