On Radio 5 Live they just said that yesterday's terrorist attack was the first to slip through the counter-terrorism net since the murder of Lee Rigby.
I was a little surprised because I remember an MP being murdered in the street by someone with extreme views. Is the murder of Jo Cox not a considered a terrorist attack (and if not, why not)? |  | | |  |

Was it in London maybe?

There was a bomb attack on a police station in Northern Ireland yesterday or the day before too. |  |

I constantly have the debate with my family that It is safer from terror attacks than it has been in the past 40 years. They voted leave and I am sure it is because they feel the country is dangerous due to IS and immigration. I showed then the statistics on terror attacks in the UK for each decade which proves it but they still don't agree. 7/7 was nearly 12 years ago and while they doesn't make it ok you will always have nutters that attack people. |  |

The dissident republican attacks in N Ireland are deliberately being ignored/played down. This has the possible consequence of causing the perpetrators to launch an attack in England. | |

There seems to have been a deliberate lack of attention to the situation is Ireland over the last few years ? | | | |

It was on Sky News yesterday. People who are saying it's not being reported are talking nonsense. [Post edited 23 Mar 2017 9:15]

Watch Alan Partidge mid morning matters for a classic line relating to your point |  |

I said Widely reported Steve, I don't watch Sky and only watch BBC or Ch4 main news.
I am not saying these things are NOT reported just that, unlike yesterday when it was wall to wall coverage and extended news, these things can easily be missed | | | |

That was reported quite widely online and in the printed press. The NI one less so. But in both these cases the results were so much less than yesterday so I can understand the relative lack of coverage. [Post edited 23 Mar 2017 9:23]

Like the cable laying ship installing an electric cable for power supply from France to the UK nearly sunk & was the subject of a marine emergency, that didn't hit the headlines either | | | |

The NI ones weren't widely reported and could easily have been missed, the Orly airport ones very clearly were. That post was on the latter incident. | |

There was multiple loss of life outside our Parliament whereas the NI bomb didn't kill anybody.
Of course there was extensive coverage of the former compared to the latter. [Post edited 23 Mar 2017 9:22]

How many news outlets have broadcast the story about the British Banks laundering Billions of currency for the Russians, other than the Guardian? | | | |

A quick google shows that the Mail, FT and Times all have. | |

I rarely catch the news on tv but I'm connected most of the time. I wouldn't say it was widely reported like the Paris incident.
Clearly London was a different scale. | |
