Reported on Al Jazeera. Just switched over from Heseltine's lecture (and apologia pro vita sua) on Brexit. Still swings does Tarzan.

Getting quite twitchy now, we are going to Germany on Friday for a holiday on the Rhine not too far from Boppard.
As the song says " should we go or should we stay"

[vetuste_ennemi]

Enjoy your holiday, Caran. I'm not religious myself, but as the late Dave Allen would say: "May your God go with you".

Update from the Guardian: the incident is not terror related, rather it's the result of a young Syrian man's being denied the right of asylum.

More news from BBC. German minister said that what he (the dead perpetrator) was carrying in his back-pack suggested that a lot more people could have been killed or injured. Also he had attempted suicide before and had received prior psychiatric treatment.

Beeb's concluthat e was trying to harm other people IS VERY HARD TO SAY AT THIS MOMENT.". (I quote verbatim).

It's a toughie, isn't it?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Somewhat garbled.

Beeb's conclusion was that whether what he was doing was intentional, or was a suicide attempt, or that he was in fact trying to harm other people was "VERY HARD TO SAY AT THIS MOMENT".

Yes, it's a toughie for the analytical team, innit?

Obviously NTDWI.

[vetuste_ennemi]

What does the I stand for, Svejk?

[sandyRoe]

No we're not. Why, I'd go as far as to say a FOI on this site is as much harried and browbeaten as a Christian is in R&S.

Merkel must go now surley.

She has too much German blood on her hands.

[bazwillrun]

she should have gone aqes ago...

not a bad legacy though...east german socialist ruins Germany and most of europe in efforts for a fourth reich

[youngmafbog]

She has not gone yet, still time.

I think I can hear the Panzers firing up.

[bazwillrun]

[Gromit]

Sorry lads, Merkel is as popular as ever in the latest poll.

According to a massive survey of 1,004 people...

Just what a refugee may need to bring with him when he is seeking sanctuary from a war torn country. A explosive back pack! Some of you still so keen they come and stay with you???

[fiction-factory]

I support the messages of sympathies for the injured victims.

Since Cologne I would'nt believe anything from the Reichstag propaganda ministry even that Berlin's the Capital.
