Without the risk of sounding macabre, lets face it here, no Jihadi is going to start in his AK rampage in front of the police.

The idea of him pulling his AK out and instantly being spotted and deftly shot by armed police is absurd. There will be loss of life I'm afraid.

The solution is simple, more armed officers in London, I think that's agreeable as a country, armed with a glock and an MP5 at all times, not secured away in their vehicle. These need to be normal beat officers trained to SCO19 standards and continue their normal duties like they have for their serving duration.

That could aid prevention but it's far from solid, GCHQ has a far bigger role to play here than any firearm can prevent.

Aside from that, our response is elite, that's enough said about that, anyone that doubts the response and ability of SCO19 needn't worry, they're one of the greatest elite police firearms units on the planet.

The true aim is keeping the loss of life down to absolute minimum. It's sad that it likely couldn't entirely be prevented in that situation but it's been made clear GCHQ has a hand in complete prevention.
