Someone of particular interest to the secret services since he was born as son of a known Libyan dissident, that had just returned a few weeks ago from a visit to Libya, who was checked out and back in through border control, was allowed to go on and blow himself up. It has a strong smell of MI6 fuck up.
Oh, and back on topic, yep, our politicians will use anything, however low and despicable, to try and push through snooping legislation.
