I’m telling you we have to start banning knives

YWN sorry, but you are a bit behind with this report. “Investigators will be researching the man’s background…” BBC has since reported the subject has been released from prison just a week ago where he served half term for terror related charges…..!!!
How many more terror attacks need to happen before the British learn to keep terrorists locked up for good?
The full BBC wording: Sudesh Amman, 20, was released around a week ago after serving half of his sentence of three years and four months for terror offences.
He was under active police surveillance at the time of the attack on Streatham High Road, which police believe to be an Islamist-related terrorist incident.
