WHAT faith can Britain have in a “Prevent” programme which failed to prevent Axel Rudakubana’s atrocity in Southport?. Three times the monster was referred to the deradicalisation unit due to his fascination with violence, and school massacres especially.

Prevent opted not to handle him because, despite all that, he didn’t seem motivated by terrorism. Police maintained that position despite the ricin he made and the al-Qaeda training manual he downloaded. Why — millions were left asking — is a young thug with a document titled “military studies in the jihad against the tyrants”, who butchers three innocent young girls, NOT considered a terrorist?.
Many have questions to answer over the horrific murders of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice da Silva Aguiar. Here’s one more:. How, when Rudakubana was stopped by his father from taking a taxi possibly to attack the school which expelled him, was he able to catch another to slaughter children days later?.
The public inquiry announced last night will, we hope, provide answers. It must also look into the attack’s disastrous aftermath, including the withholding of information from the public. Police and the Government must realise the danger of keeping Britain in the dark on matters of huge public interest.
