Shortly before his killing, one Minister told this newspaper that the Government feared a wave of fresh terror attacks as the country emerged from the Covid pandemic, due to an 'epidemic' of 'bedroom radicals' who spent lockdown hunched over computers plotting atrocities.

If so there could be a lot of angry/young men and potential terrorists post-lockdown...
Don’t know. However, the U.K. does have a good set of radicals who appear to roam at will. They’re called Muslims.
They always seem to be known to the security services too.
Concerning.
I would say the government has clearly created a brew for potential attacks.
Masking and lockdowns destroys proper social interactions. Fear and hate 24/7 on tv. Eliminating the country people grew up in. Destroying wealth by redistribution and free money. Crushing independence and mandating vaccines…
> Does anyone give much credence to this theory of ‘bedroom radicals’? <
Da Coyote is right. The Internet is radicalizing young Muslims. If you were so inclined, you could go to any number of Islamic websites where jihad is preached. Death to the infidels, and all that
Some excellent points Gator.
Mental health issues and depression etc. have increased if you look at the stats and so have heavy drinking during lockdown.
Media tends to ignore this side of it and the ramifications.
What’s worrying to me is you would think it would so easy to track/monitor their online activities by the security services...
If there is not enough conspiracy, adversity, and anarchy in their lives, these folks just got to go out and invent some.
Just keep on poking the hornets’ nest.
This will not end well.
It will not end well is correct.
What, a few overgrown Zoomers and maybe a real-straggler Millennial?
Thank you.
A lot of basement dwellers talk about suicide. It’s a short walk from suicide to “go out in a blaze of glory”. I suspect that is what happened to many mass killers/school shooters. They hang out in chat rooms plotting, getting encouragement and that is why they normally destroy their hard drive.

The online activity of radicalized Muslims is probably being monitored. But nobody does anything until the Muslim strikes. Then the government puts out the pathetic statement, “He was known to the security services.”
But I wonder what the security folks could do anyway. Let’s say you’ve got a young Muslim in the US or the UK, and he spends 8 hours a day online reading poisonous “death to the infidels” articles. What can you do about that?
I guess nothing. The horse left the barn the instant George W. Bush said, “Islam is peace.”
“Ali Harbi Ali, named by sources,”
Methinks the a sermon from the religion of peace by an iman on the internet is the most likely source these days.
Meanwhile, denying someone their last rites because your afraid of contaminating the crime scene when the EMT’s should be busy cutting off clothes, ripping open lots of packaging of sterile items and tossing it aside introducing lots of fluids into the area and while moving around to relieve the person doing compression you would think one person who could put on booties walk directly to the victim kneel down and speak to him in a comforting way ( the aural sense is believed to be the last one to fade out during the death process) might have given solace to a human being dying would be OF IMPORTANCE TO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. Also if Scotland Yard couldn’t determine what was left behind in the crime scene by the priest, they need to turn in their magnifying glasses and deerstalker hats for Ray Charles sunglasses. DTTTTTTTTTT. Thats 1D10T’s .
***It’s a short walk from suicide to “go out in a blaze of glory”***
Perhaps the news media should start showing photos of a person who just went out in that blaze of glory.
The blood, guts, mud, brain matter splattered, before they are cleaned up.
The kind of photo that would get you blocked on Facebook as too gruesome.
It is not like a clean kill in the old movies.
Worst lie ever uttered by a US President.
If the parents are Moslem, it’s a given.
Kids talk about suicide today like we talked about cars and sports. They claim PTSD from being criticized in 8th grade for dying their hair blue. Universities have 2 month waits for therapists. “I made a C in history and now life isn’t worth living”.
Anybody ask Biden what’s in your basement?.
