This was on the news: The terrorist who killed those girls was known to various agencies and nothing was done even when he was buying knives off Amazon they said.

Anyone following this? Another costly failure.

I don't blame rank and file officers it's the intelligence agencies that failed here?

Forget it, Jake. It's UK.

(As an aside, I wonder if team Biden/Harris will apply for work there? They seem perfect for each other.)

Yes, the higher ups are to blame.

There are dedicated Counter-Terror units who should have been across this.

Although, they say he didn’t fit the definition of a terrorist and they might change the law.

It sounds like they might have bounced him around due to the legal definition of ‘terrorist’

That’s what the reporter was suggesting. Awful failure of the system and there must be lots of cases like this.

They’re not keeping tabs on them due to legalese definitions

The stupid virus is strong in that government ... oh wait, the same virus has infected the US ... but the antidote for it was just administered yesterday.

The u.k. government cannot keep tabs on all the potential terrorists because they purposefully imported the muslims by the millions!

Now that he’s done his ghastly deed, how many mental evaluations will he have, and how many years before a trial is held, and how light the sentence will he be given?
In a just world the little demon would have been dispatched quickly, with extreme prejudice. But this is the future emirate of Britain we’re talking about.

No, the issue is that the Prevent initiative was laser focused on Al Qaeda and ISIS indoctrination.

It’s not in their remit to deal with self indoctrination or Trenchcoat Mafia situations, and that’s a howling oversight.

Anyone suggesting that some guv’mt agency ought to be monitoring “weapons” sold on Amazon is worse than the terrorist. A terrorist can only strike once. This sort of monitoring crappola strikes everywhre and everyone.
