Anyone want to bet that someone in the UK government knew this attacker was likely to do something like this and decided not to stop him so they could use him as an excuse for a power grab?
The government taking advantage of a tragedy to push a completely unrelated agenda. Sort of like when someone goes on a shooting rampage with a pistol and American politicians go "this is why we need to ban assault weapons."
This is, of course, in response to the recent murder (assassination?) of Tory MP Sir David Amess.

I wouldn't put it past them, especially with how much of a surveillance state the UK already is. "Never let a good crisis go to waste" and all that.
