There's more to this story than meets the eye, COBRA, is involved which signifies that intelligence was most likely known prior to the incident.

Also I have just received information that military personnel are to travel in civilian clothes when not on duty. This would arouse suspicion that an influx in similar attacks may be imminent.

Mum talked down Woolwich terrorists who told her: 'We want to start a war in London tonight'
“I asked him if he did it and he said yes and I said why? And he said because he has killed Muslim people in Muslim countries, he said he was a British solider and I said really and he said 'I killed him because he killed Muslims and I am fed up with people killing Muslims in Afghanistan they have nothing to do there.”
Eyewitness Joe Tallant has said that the attackers looked like they wanted to be caught by the police.
He told BBC News: "They could have gotten away but they were just walking around like they wanted the police to come and get them.
“They were waiting for the police, they were telling people, civilians on the street, to call the police, they wanted to get caught, they were stupid people.”
He said when armed officers arrived a policewoman “jumped out” and shot them both. It was the police who opened first, he confirmed.
He said they had the gun out but were just “walking casually” with their arms at their sides.
Counter-terrorism expert Richard Barrett said it was possible the attackers may have been "copycats" of the Boston bombers.
Mr Barrett said: "I don't think we have seen much of this in terms of attacks on armed service personnel in the UK before.
"It may be that this is a copycat after the Boston bombings. That two individuals could cause a lot of mayhem is maybe more of an inspiration than attacking soldiers."
The former United Nations co-ordinator for the al-Qaida and Taliban monitoring team, who has served with MI5 and MI6, said it was clear the attackers wanted to "explain" their actions.
Mr Barrett added: "It looks like an attack which has certainly been done for effect. The way that they are hanging about and wanting to be arrested and explain what they were doing fits a pattern of people who want to send a message.

Where abouts in Essex is this happening? Trying to find a source as I just read on facebook about a Mosque in Essex (as you said earlier) being attacked by yobs with bricks. Nothing on MSM about this yet as far as my search found. Most likely there's plenty of these retaliation attacks going on around the country at present. Probably expect it to get worse at the weekend.

I have to say the really gut punching thing I find disturbing about this video (The attacker speaking to the camera) Is the persons obviously thick London accent and him referring to English people as "You people" and to somewhere other than England as "Our lands"
You don't develop an accent like that over night so I would think it a safe bet that this guy has been through the English education system, lived and worked among English people and yet has still somehow been able to be separated enough from reality by some outside force to see the people around him as "the enemy"
I'm finding that kind of mind numbingly worrying honestly.
Just in case some people have trouble with the accent here is what he says
(unclear something about fight them)
"An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth"
"I apologize that women had to witness this today, but in our lands women have to see the same"
"You people will never be safe. Remove your governments, they don't care about you"

With all this uncertainty over exactly how these events transpired from start to end, does anybody wish there was some way of filming public areas constantly? Oh, wait, I forgot... cctv is a tool of the nwo and can only be a negative presence in our lives.

here's what i think;
this event, though not fake, was staged.
it is intended to be the trigger for widespread unrest.
it is already proving effective.
