On October 30th, a man threw petrol bombs at an immigration centre in Dover, injuring two. Minutes later he killed himself.
Three days on, the attack has been largely forgotten.
But it's worth taking a closer look at what he posted online, and what it says about radicalisation:
The earliest posts online are from a 2014 twitter account, with just 4 tweets.
His first message was “I love the world”.
A day later: “It’s time to intern all radical Muslims”.
That’s quite the one-two. The remaining tweets were about jihadists and grooming gangs.
