The Home of Common Sense, this is talk. And I'm delighted I have to say, day one, the best paper reviewer for a Monday. Is that good? You're, Poppy Cobone, good morning. Good morning. We're all right, and we're for an early morning start, sorry? I think so. I feel bright and early. Nice, good. Let's start with this horrific story. I mean, I don't know what you're supposed to say. There's a couple of things that I want to say, but this guy gets on the train,

stabs 11 people willy-nilly, eventually is tasered by the cops as he yells, kill me.

One of them, the bravest people, was in fact a worker for LNER, who is fighting for his life. I just want to pay a clip to

everybody. This is Ollie Foster, who was a passenger on this train. This is what he saw. Have

a listen. I was in Coach H. I was literally listening to audible on my phone. And then I had

a guy suddenly run past going run, run, there's a guy stabbing literally

everyone at everything.

There was a few of us kind of looking at each other, like thinking, it was it a joke, like it's Halloween, I'd be pranking. But then you could kind of see in their faces they're being serious. I kind of got my stuff and I was running and everyone was really pushing behind this, really panicking. And at this point I was kind of asking questions like what's happening?

Like who is it?

And they're like a guy just stabbing questions, like, what's happening? Like, who is it?

And they were like, a guy's just stabbing everyone back there, put my hand on this chair, like just trying to push myself forward. And then I look at my hand and it's covered in blood. And then I look at the chair and there's blood all over the chair. And I'm thinking, okay, this is pretty serious. to some of the guys that had ran through to kind of alert,

they were the ones who were also being stabbed.

So we're running over and getting to the edge of the carriage, still trying to work out who is it, what's their intentions, what's their motives. Terrifying. It's like something out of the horror movie. Yeah, I just think, you know, you say it's a normal train week, completely right. Like, sometimes with these attacks, you just place yourself there. You can't help it. Like, that's so normal, just getting a train, you know, on the weekend, just traveling down to London. How many people do that on a regular basis every week? I just, we were talking last night about it, my wife and I, and you end up thinking, what is safe? So last night, just a very personal story, my son, who's at golf college, goes back to London. He wants to go. He goes on the 6 o'clock train, right? And he texts me at 7 o'clock and a drunk guy is going up and down the platform. It's a dark autumn night. He's played, go, woo, like.

And he's on his own in the train.

I said, listen, if you're terrified, get off.

On the basis of what happened the night before,

fear's the thing, isn't it?

Real fear.

It's completely the fear.

I think I've said to you before,

you know, when I've just travelled on the tube,

you get this feeling when someone gets on and you immediately know something's wrong. You can immediately tell. It's like the hairs in the back of your neck go up. The thing I find so frightening about this is that you know that no one's going to help you. People can't help you. You're literally stuck on this train. Until those doors open, you are completely on your own. I read something about the driver. The driver continued to the next station and people initially
