A "terror attack" in all its gruesome glory, recorded by the MSM and played all over the world, just like Boston. What was the chance of someone with a camera being in the street ready to interview him ??
Everyone walks around with a smart camera phone, what are the chances?
You've just watched some psycho try and cut the head off some poor bastard..so you start filming, for posterity, and then your approached by said psycho still with the knife and the meat cleaver in his blood stained hands...do you do a runner fearing for your life....NOOO...you do a 5 minute interview.....
And sometimes real life is stranger than fiction.
There is a chance this is exactly what it played out to be.
Sorry, but in these cases i dont believe in fate or coincidence..
We know the war on terror is fake, the deaths are real, but the reaons behind it are all false.
Therefore, i personally, assume that every act of terrorism in relation to Al Qaeda etc is fake and used simply to prolong the perpetual state of fear they all want us to live in..

Yes I am a British-born immigrant also. I know that this is my country now and I will disagree with what is done and I have and will protest in a legal manner. I respect the laws of this country because I have lived in worst countries. The comment about british at heart is poetic but is not scientific.
At least the sensible moslems have started denouncing these b'stard.
I do not want to see a race war or religious war in this country as the INNOCENT will suffer, i.e. 95% of us.
Sorry but if you are british born then you are not an immigrant, regardless of what the English Dickhead League might have you believe.
If you were born in the UK or a qualifying territory
This page will help you decide whether you are a British citizen, if you were born in the UK or a qualifying territory. The qualifying territories are all the British overseas territories, except the Sovereign base areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (in Cyprus).
If you were born in the UK before 1 January 1983
If you were born in the UK before 1 January 1983, you are almost certainly a British citizen. The only exception is if you were born to certain diplomatic staff of foreign missions who had diplomatic immunity.
If you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983
If you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983, you are a British citizen if at the time of your birth one of your parents was:
* a British citizen; or
* legally settled in the UK.
If you were born in a qualifying territory on or after 21 May 2002
If you were born in a qualifying territory, you are a British citizen if either your father or mother is a British citizen.
If neither parent is a British citizen, you will still be a British citizen if either your mother or your father was legally settled in either the United Kingdom or that particular territory at the time of your birth.

Sorry, but being born in Britain does not make you British. That's an American thing.
Here is the official rule for Britain,

To be British you generally must have British parent.

So much speculation in your post. What are you basing this information on ?
Thats how extremists come to existence, they believe in something strongly and they don't care that much if their beliefs are true facts or just speculations.
And on the topic of the beheading, it was pretty much a statement, just like the mass murderer in Norway.
I think they'd make more of a statement if they killed themselves and left a note defining their problems. But since their problems are related to Islam world views, it wouldn't change anything.

The guy on the Footage was UK born and aged 29 according to Skynews. Arguing over the technicalities of being Actually British as per Home Office definitions is a technicality compared to what he has done!

I'm really disappointed.
Tonight I suspended my Facebook account and cut ties with a lot of people. There is a hell of a lot of far-right sentiment growing here right now, and seeing people I thought I knew well almost becoming extremists is too much for me.
I have never been so scared, I am actually scared of my own country and my fellow Brits. People I have known all my life, friends and family members, have totally lost all rational thought and are preaching the kind of rubbish I would expect from the EDL and BNP.
I have thought about moving before, but right now I want out of this country. Not because of religious extremists, but because of the far-right sentiment I'm seeing growing right before my eyes.
Right now, I hate this f'ing country.

The eyewitness that was interviewed on the radio today said he was with the police after having witnessed the brutal stabbing from 3 mtrs away(his car was behind the criminals as they swerved and hit the soldier), the police were there almost immediately(the police station is 2mins away) the armed police didnt arrive for 20 mins, that was his own words. And he was with the unarmed first responders, giving his statement.
"We have also addressed the speculation there has been about how long it took the Met to respond yesterday as this incident started to unfold. Police first received a 999 call from the public at 14:20hrs stating a man was being attacked, further 999 calls stated that the attackers were in possession of a gun. We had officers at the scene within nine minutes of receiving that first 999 call. "Once that information about a gun or guns being present was known firearms officers were assigned at 14:24hrs. Firearms officers were there and dealing with the incident 10 minutes after they were assigned, 14 minutes after the first call to the Met. We must be mindful that the IPCC are investigating the police response to the incident.
The Metropolitan Police also issued a statement in response to criticism over the apparent slow response of armed police who were accused of not arriving at the scene in Woolwich for 20 minutes. The Met said police were on the murder scene in nine minutes and the armed response unit arrived within 14 minutes.
