Military intervention isn't working
The intelligence services can only do so much as has just been shown by todays events. One day credible intelligence reports regarding laptops etc. The next the painful scenes from today.
It seems to be an unwinnable scenario with innocent people on both sides being killed, maimed or injured.
I honestly don't know

I don't think you can do something to 'solve' it. Only do things to try and reduce it and in fairness we seem to be doing that quite well. In the end what can anyone reasonably do against one man in a car with a knife? Not much. But then we can't do much about someone who wakes up to murder without terrorist intent either.
We let terrorism have an undue influence on us I think. Obviously, we need to continue to guard against it and it's not a normal crime but we can't revamp the entire way we live to address this specific threat. Statistically it's a minor cause of the death in the UK.

Not unusual they're there but not difficult to spot by the trained eye thus you wouldn't want to be publishing such photos on a national media site.
