This is a developing story and one thing we don't know yet is anything at all about the attacker. Any posts speculating about this or spreading rumours will be removed, as will anything excusing, downplaying or minimising the attack.
GMP said it declared Plato – the national codeword used by police and emergency services when responding to a “marauding terror attack” – at 9.37am.
Anyone know why the name Plato was chosen for that?

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
