The awful BBC trying to spin the news to fit its PC narrative as always.

According to Sky News one of the men had previously tried to get to Syria to join ISIS but wasn't allowed... but was still allowed to walk the streets and all, yep, well done.

Also ISIS claimed responsibility for this attack and another I think?
