al-Qaeda recruiting from youth organisations
Perhaps Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5 since April was pitching for a larger slice of the defence budget pie by inferring that he's spending so much money chasing Russian and Chinese spies that he can't fully monitoring at least 2000 extremists posing a threat to UK national security.
He expressed concern that extremists were methodically and intentionally targeting vulnerable young people and children.

The other victim in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes
The list of failings of officers at so many levels in the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes beggars belief. However it is overshadowed by the shameful attempts to cast blame on Menezes himself.
We need a police force that is free and enabled to do it's job. They can only do that when they have the faith and trust of the British people. Those people that decided to effect a cover-up and then proceed to defend their actions rather than accept responsibility for mistakes, cause more damage to that cause than any other agency could. THEY are the real villains here.

"A more risk-averse society has led to a more risk-averse police service, which will at times over-record and under-deliver for fear of missing something or being vulnerable to criticism," he says.
