    There's been another knife attack in the UK, this time in Edinburgh,
    Scotland. A bare-chested man with a machete went on a rampage, did some property damage and injured 5 people.

    This incident had an important difference from other recent incidents:
    the guy with the machete was white and at least some of the injured
    people were Muslims. It looks like at least one native Brit has had
    enough....

    Apparently, the BBC is all over this story since the attacker is a Brit
    and the victims are Muslims. Here's their story:

    What are the odds that this will motivate politicians to act to reduce immigration? I'd guess absolutely none: they'll use this to justify all
    the measures they've taken to contain "racism" and "xenophobia" and
    limit free speech. They'll double down on those measures because of
    their concerns that those nasty white people are causing unrest.

    I agree with you - this is going to be a male version of the Lucy
    Connelly case.
