I don’t agree. Parents can try and do what’s best but these people are grown ups and make their own choices and only those individuals should take responsibilities for their actions.

The people who knew about them were the authorities. No one warned the parents. The girls were given letters to take to their parents by the school warning them about what the girls might be doing and they found them stuffed in the bottom of their school bags...of course.
They are the terrorist of choice for now. We have seen others in my time and this bout ties in with the foreign policy of the U.K. in the same way the IRA did in 70/80/90s.
Another will be along I’m sure and that could easily something like Ireland again depending on Brexit. Or, if the arse falls out of the Euro zone, could it be from there?

How does that pan out like ?
I'm just saying that the next threat could be from anywhere and they are normally related to a political stance by the government of that time.

Brexit certainly has the potential, wait until things go pear shaped and people get told you voted for it.

I think the biggest question I have at the moment is why on earth was a convicted terrorist allowed, whether temporarily or otherwise, in to the city which he was convicted of trying to blow up not even a decade prior? Why was he allowed right near the scene of an ISIS attack two years previous?
If he's on license and from Staffordshire, surely that's where the terms of his license dictate he resides. If so, who signed off on his day trip to the place he tried to blow up?

so if early release is so bad...why have the govt who have been in place for 9 years at this point done nothing about it? its not even in the manifesto
I suspect the fact that there are not enough prison spaces and they dont want to build anymore prisons or staff them properly means its been working for them..until this

The idea I think is to reward good behaviour. However they are then free to commit further crimes once they are released.

On the contrary, the tories have until very recently been pursuing shorter sentences and not jailing people who had sentences of less than 6 months as their policy. A cynic might say this was to manage the chronic overcrowding and cuts to the prison system they have presided over.
It's only since they started gearing up for a general election that they started portraying themselves as the party of tough law and order. Pure populist rhetoric with Patel spouting it for knee jerkers to lap up.
Tories to ditch plans to scrap shorter prison sentences
What’s going on with the Tories and sentencing?

It is strange but people in the area, I know not the most reliable under such a situation, where stating they heard more than two shots which would tie in with the first two shots not doing the job. It was also notable there was no blood after the first two shots, this is not typical of a completed head shot.

Mr Hawkes told the Standard: "There were multiple shots. We heard two shots first, then there was a gap of a few minutes, and another eight to 10 shots"...
