Multiple people were stabbed on a train traveling through Cambridgeshire, England, on Saturday, the British authorities said, in an attack that led to the arrest of two men and drew condemnation from the prime minister. The police said 10 people had been injured in the attack and taken to the hospital, with nine of those having suffered life-threatening injuries. Armed police officers boarded the train and arrested two people after the train was stopped at Huntingdon Station in Cambridgeshire at around 7:45 p.m. local time, according to a statement from the British Transport Police, which is responsible for policing the country’s railway network. “This has been declared a major incident and Counter Terrorism Policing are supporting our investigation whilst we work to establish the full circumstances and motivation for this incident,” the statement said.

‌Of course, perhaps the most memorable enounter between the two sides came back in 2003, when England - then led by Sir Clive Woodward - were crowned world champions at the Rugby World Cup in Australia. He has since been inundated with support from across the rugby world, with his inspiring bravery leaving some of his former teammates in tears. He is one of over 1,000 former rugby players to have joined a concussion lawsuit against World Rugby, the Rugby Football Union and the Welsh Rugby Union, having publicly admitted he wishes he had never played the sport. Also part of that same lawsuit is Phil Vickery, who started alongside Thompson in the front row in the final. ‌[Winning a Rugby World Cup] doesn’t keep you for the rest of your life.

Judging by the scale of the outrage inspired by these ‘scandals’, the media and much of the British public clearly believe that such misdemeanours are serious enough to disqualify the offenders from high office. It is precisely our obsession with bureaucratic perfection that is robbing Britain of the inspiring leaders we need. But a cursory glance through the last millennium reveals that few of our great British heroes would have passed 21st-century purity tests. In an act that stinks of ‘coercive control’, Henry locked her up, demonstrating a toxic masculinity that, in 21st-century Britain, would have had him turfed out of Royal Lodge.

It is understood the King will use private funds to cover the cost, but not his Duchy of Lancaster income. Andrew will, however, be denied most of his half a million pound compensation for giving up his lease on Royal Lodge. The Times reported Andrew agreed to leave Windsor after his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson made it clear that she would be leaving the property.
