Scotland Yard has named two of the attackers as Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane, who are both from Barking in east London.

Khuram Butt, one of the London attackers, appeared in the Channel 4 documentary the Jihadis Next Door last year.

Whoever was Home Secretary at the time might have serious questions to answer... oh, hold on.

Sounds like some TVs to watch Channel 4 documentaries on jihadis might be more useful.

There are reports, quoting neighbours of one of the attackers, that he was driving the van very fast down the wrong lane of a street near where they all lived last Friday. People were freaking out because there were kids playing nearby and so forth. Makes sense now.
Like the Manchester bomber these guys had been reported to the authorities more than once. This is a massive fuck-up and several people deserve to lose their jobs for this, what's the point of requesting ever-more-intrusive surveillance powers when you can't even adequately monitor a guy who's *in a fucking documentary about jihadism*?

Fuck's sake. I mean that's it right? Shows how deep the cuts have gone if they can't catch someone who's been on TV?
