Counter-terror agencies are under the spotlight after it emerged one of the London attackers was known to security services.

Khuram Shazad Butt was investigated in 2015, but officers insisted there was no evidence to suggest an attack was being planned.

He was therefore "prioritised in the lower echelons of our investigative work," police said.

They were probably investigating Bertha Butt instead.

Is anyone in the UK frightened by the implications of dropping that investigation? Knowing that this man hated freedom and wanted to kill, the police chose not to follow up because his plan wasn’t well developed. To me, that means there are so many other “diverse” suspects who are more hateful and more obviously advanced in planning their attacks that they could not spare the manpower for someone who only wanted to kill a small number of Brits.

Pretty soon the UK won’t have any choices left other than all out war, or surrender, and war might be seen as a politically incorrect rejection of multiculturalism. This will not end well.

Why would the cops tag a suspect and then let him go? The optimist in me says there are worse waiting in the wings that they are keeping under closer watch.

Freepers are way ahead of me. Both of my points were already made.

How stupid can they get? Just because they couldn’t find evidence of planning an attack doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

Concealment 101 is a beginning course for Jihadi training.

These are the actions of a government run through with collaborationists. The British people need to cleanse their government of those who are helping the Islamic terrorists if they hope to survive.

More evidence that the police are generally not in the crime prevention business. The police are secretarial workers who expect to show up after the crime happens, and then take notes about the unfortunate event.

The bottom line is that the UK simply has too many potential terrorists for them to handle. So when one of these guys knows he’s under the microscope, he simply goes dormant and another guy, who has not seriously gotten the attention of the government takes his place.

There’s only one solution - which is to DEPORT the people that are on their list, whether they are citizens or not.

“How stupid can they get?”

We need to stop asking that question. Liberal globalists take it as a challenge.

“prioritised in the lower echelons of our investigative work,”

Does that mean bumped to the end of the line? How incredibly bureaucratic.

Is the name Khuram the Islamic version of Harry?
