Given he was able to fly from Paris to Dublin legally, so perhaps from Sudan to Paris legally, it will be interesting to know more about his background. Doesn't sound like a typical refugee or economic migrant posing as refugee.

He was granted refugee status quite quickly too,

The Belfast attacker flew from Paris to Dublin 10.02.2023 and travelled to Belfast where he claimed asylum, his LTR was granted 28.09.2023.

This was when Suella Braverman and Robert Jenrick were Home Secretary and Immigration Minister respectively.

I am rooting for Rupert Lowe and the subsequent litigation against Jenrick and Braverman's dereliction of duty. Lowe's threat is a comedy silver lining from an otherwise brutal atrocity.

Never liked flying Dalek’s. I know they can but the budget limitations meant they had to be creative and so came up with something better before flying.

I remember watching the Spender Tracy Jekyll &Hyde as a kid. The special effects were scant to say the least but Tracy overcame that with a great performance. Now with CGI we can do amazing effects but things like Alien and Event Horizon feel better because they have had to find innovative solutions.

Original Daleks couldn’t go up stairs in a house, but neither can Tanks! So they would arrive and level every city and town from orbit Land and offer a deal to the survivors, serve the Dalek’s as slaves or be hunted down and butchered by those who slave for the Dalek’s!

Brutal and effective and in keeping with those that thought them up, people who were children in WW2 who saw the Blitz who learned of the Camps and the Burma railway and built their nightmares into the ultimate ruthless enemy!

Flying looks cool but it’s no match for relentless remorseless evil!

My take on Dr Who is that the solution is to cut out the Big Bang!

The thing that has weakened it is chasing a bigger and bigger calamity with every series, saving London, saving, earth, saving the solar system, then the galaxy, universe, reality!

But many of the best episodes are self contained, almost intimate, Midnight being one of my all time favourites. The same think infected the so called MCU always needing a bigger Boss to fight until all Bosses blend into one.

Focus on character and story not big bang!

As to stand alone parts of the universe I’d like to see a Dalek Invasion series. Not set on Earth, just some novel civilisation or planet being attacked overwhelmed and despite their best efforts crunched. Again focused on characters bravely battling against the inevitable.

No happy ending!
