I find it strange that there’s enough police to investigate hate crimes on the internet, but not enough to monitor a guy on their watch list shuttling back and forth between the UK and Tripoli. Why is it that football hooligans are banned from traveling to certain games and have to hand in their passports when England plays abroad, yet the Manchester bomber who was a person of interest in counter-surveillance can travel to and from Libya without much observation?
Remember The Jihadist Next Door? One of the terrorists was openly waving an ISIS flag and spouting fundamentalist and ISIS rhetoric. He announced he was a Jihadist and an ISIS recruiter right there, in front of the Channel 4 cameras but nobody did anything about him until he'd murdered 7 people and put another 48 in hospital.

And why is it they know exactly who and where to go within a few short hours of any attack?

Because their hands are tied by endless claims of racism along the lines of Rotherham etc maybe?

This is incredible that the intelligence services are getting it in the neck for letting it happen..

Nearly all of these ****ers have been reported by someone, so it's either too wary of being sued, or too little manpower, or just an overwhelming number of attacks being planned...take your pick

the guy on the C4 documentary was probably so outrageous waving his flag openly he was put down as a nut job.
