Another terrorist incident in Westminster, this time a guy arrested with knives, and this time someone who the police were already following and no one hurt (it seems).
First of all, what a fucking idiot for many reasons, firstly for deciding to attack a place where security has just been ramped up considerably (assuming this was his motive). And for staying alive, which presumably also wasn't part of his plan.
Hopefully this doesn't lead to more attempts similar attempts, as this seems to be IS strategy now they've failed as a military force. Hopefully, if there are more attempts, they are as futile seeming as this one. And hopefully it does remain futile, because all it takes is a few idiots in the press to try and increase the state of fear, and tip the tone of the election even more towards one of 'security', xenophobia and racism, and the failure will have turned into a success.
