Who on earth decided to give Jake Davison his gun back?

Why did cops give maniac’s gun back?

BRITAIN boasts some of the strictest gun laws in the world.

So any inquiry into maniac Jake Davison’s sickening slaughter must quickly find out why his shotgun licence was returned weeks before his shooting spree.

Devon and Cornwall police boss Shaun Sawyer says officers do not check internet profiles while assessing licences because it would be an “invasion of privacy.”

But what could be a greater invasion than killing innocent people, including a three-year-old girl?

If they had looked the officers would not have had to trawl far to find a mentally disturbed woman-hater who should never have been in charge of a lethal weapon.

Evil Davison’s rants gave every indication of violence beyond the assault allegations he faced last year.

Yet somehow this monster appears to have been passed fit on an anger management course which showed he was in control of his rage.

Who on earth signed that off and decided to give him his gun back?

What is clear is that policing is increasingly out of step with the world of social media and the internet.

This has to change.

Extremists like Davison are too easily indoctrinated online by deranged cults like Incel.

And there are many more just like him out there.

Home Secretary Priti Patel must consider whether these extremists should be treated like potential domestic terrorists.

And the head of must explain why his force decided to re-arm one.

Biden’s catastrophe

JOE Biden should hang his head in shame over his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

It has rapidly turned from tactical retreat to disaster.

The country’s expensively trained defence forces, supposed to hold the line against the Taliban, are being routed.

Now British paratroopers have a race against time to evacuate 4,000 Brits from Kabul.

But the operation is looking increasingly precarious.

Boris Johnson said on Friday that our troops would not be sent back into combat.

But our paratroopers could soon find themselves in a bloody war zone as the Taliban advance on the city.

The families of the 457 British troops who died in the war-torn country must wonder what it was all for.

Let’s pray our troops can make a successful evacuation before any more British blood is spilled.
