The opportunity to attack the centre and at the same time to cause damage to Parliament and parliamentarians will not be lost on potential terrorists, ranging from state actors to lone actors. I have spent the last 25 years studying how terrorists behave: how they plan what they do; how they can be lone actors, taught by the internet to do something that seems quite mad but actually happens in the real world. Those of us who have walked in and out of courtroom doors, as I have for the best part of 50 years, know that one should never be surprised by the actions of human beings.
