TBH, it doesn't really need the govt to say or not say anything does it? All it needs is an immediate bit of misinformation on social media, & far too many will take it as the 'truth' because it either fits their belief or acts as an excuse for their anger / frustration.As it turns out, all the villification of people commenting on line was a PR disaster because they would have known from an early point that he was a terrorist. They tried to make him out to be a good little choir boy from Wales. What if next time something happens and it is not terror related? Who is now going to believe it?
