Axel Rudakubana may not have been waving ISIS flag but how did he not fit bill of being drawn into violent extremism?
Yet today we reveal how defence chiefs have been warned to stop talking in their Chinese-made electric staff cars in case the motors eavesdrop and feed state secrets back to President Xi.
IT is ever more appalling and incredible that Axel Rudakubana was repeatedly rejected by the Prevent counter-terror programme before the Southport atrocity.
He may not have been waving an ISIS flag — but how did Rudakubana not fit that bill?.
Prevent is not there solely to tackle proven, overt Islamists but anyone susceptible to being drawn into violent extremism.
