Some Questions About Westminster Incident of 22 March 2017
1) His age. Is this “normal” for someone of his age to be in the actual “performance” end of such an act?
a) And a 52 year old, overweight man…what was fueling his physicality? Adrenaline? Other means? I feel like that is something to ask.
b) He was 52 years old. Is the spectrum of the profile more expansive than previously thought? Have I misunderstood the variance in the spectrum?
c) Is this a violent fueled middle-life crisis that has been contextualised through extremism by actor, victims and viewers?
d) And it was, I think a s***ide mission? S***ide by.....Was that a part of this? What messaging is this sending to whatever global community he was affiliated with?
2) Why is there such confidence that he is a lone actor? Could he not have support that simply was not present the day of the event?
a) And who is being arrested in these roundups?
3) Why such confidence there was a specific end plan? Hasn’t this been discombobulating and injurious in and of itself? Could the plan “simply” been, Let’s see how far I get?”
4) Is it time to arm all police officers guarding Westminster? I like many others have been tremendously enriched and grateful for the access given to the general public in Parliament. I would rather the sight of an armed Bobbie than the loss access of spaces that have in my particular situation furthered democratic and inclusive discussion of UK National Security.

From Jail to Jihad?
The Muslim prison population in England and Wales has doubled in the past ten years to nearly one in seven inmates. This rise is five times faster than the increase in the overall jail population.
Evidence shows most Muslims are not radicalised, but the prison system is also home to the UK's greatest concentration of Islamic terrorists and extremists. Many more are converted or radicalised behind bars.
Reporter Raphael Rowe follows one radical convert as he leaves prison, interviews some convicted terrorists and extremists about their experiences inside and asks if the authorities are doing enough to prevent the increasing threat of radical Islam inside prison.
