Gilly I honestly don't know
However i do think it is 'odd' that any time a person/group does something like this the authorities come out and say 'yes they were known to us they were on the watch list' ............so everyone who blows stuff up or hacks peoples heads off were known to them?
If they are known to them why don't they stop them?
I have not heard/seen/read anything about him Adebolajo ,(Is that the mans surname?) being arrested at a muslim rally . Your link is to a Daily Mail article .............and they tell the truth all the time don't they?
I was nearly arrested last week having a go at nigel farage ...........does that make me a radical terrorist?
Yes, that's why I said 'allegedly' re what was going on there, because I don't know and I wouldn't necessarily take their word for it. But he was definitely photographed being arrested at a Muslim rally. So he will have been known of.

the authorities have lots of people on lists as being a possible threat - the thing is our whole pesky system does not allow people to usually be arrested without having first committed a crime - obv some exceptions do happen and allsorts of people get picked up for the most tenuous of reasons - but on the whole until someone does something arrestable they can but monitor them.
luckily the daily mail readership and others are calling for people to be arrested and deported before actual crimes are committed... le sigh
Quite!
Had this bloke genuinely been demanding the right to behead people who insult his religion, I'd have thought that would qualify as some form of crime - inciting violence or something.
