In its X bio, Britain's Sky News claims to have "the full story, first." They didn't manage to fit the full story into their post about a man who "intended to kill as many nurses as possible" by bringing a pressure cooker bomb into a hospital.

But why would he do that? Fortunately, Sky News eventually gets to the full story:
Mohammad Farooq was sentenced to a minimum term of 37 years at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday.
Farooq, who was a trainee nurse, was found guilty after his trial last year of attempting to launch an Islamic State-inspired suicide attack using a homemade bomb on the hospital where he worked in 2023.
He was also jailed for plotting to attack RAF Mentwith Hill in North Yorkshire.
…
The jury heard how the clinical support worker was inspired by Islamic State propaganda to procure weapons and manufacture an explosive device in readiness for an attack.
Farooq was arrested outside the maternity ward of St James's Hospital after revealing a gun and saying that he "felt like killing everyone".
And Prime Minister Keir Starmer is issuing a travel advisory for Brits coming to the U.S.
At some point you admit the problem isn’t solved by banning guns or knives or pressure cookers, but by banning guys named Mohammad Farooq from entering your country https://t.co/rsCnAU1vzQ

The answer is Islamophobic and they've banned Islamophobia

We need sensible pressure cooker legislation.

It seems those in power would rather have their state be run by the Islamists than admit they were wrong, much less that they have a nation and people worth preserving.

The problem is those who admit this are jailed. Until the ruling class of the UK is overthrown, permanently, by any means necessary, nothing will change.

Future generations, reading about crime in the 21st century UK, will think it was a live action D-rate horror film island, where the kitchen cutlery and BBQ equipment came to life and started attacking everybody.

And yet there are people who would genuinely rather be blown up by exploding pressure cookers than to ever even vaguely consider such a notion.

I don’t think there’s a fix to that sort of mindset.
When the headline reads " a man" we know the rest of the story .

Starmer ‘the problem in England and Europe is Islamophobia.’ https://t.co/iQdrtC5bAG

It's probably best not to post any details about this story on Facebook or you could be arrested and imprisoned.
Just a normal British guy.

The story doesn't mention if he was a U.K. citizen or one of their many "newcomers" bringing cultural enrichment to the country.
I'll wait for the full story.

How many red flags did the authorities ignore before coming this close to tragedy?
They could have fit "jihadist" into their post and had characters left over.
