It seems to be “blame the internet companies” week. I don’t know who the “internet companies” are - it is such a nebulous term, bit it appears to be the usual gaggle of FaceBook, Twitter and Google. The Sun today seems to be dead certain that FB has “blood on its hands”.

Lets not forget that our security services knew about these people, and surely if they were on the radar, then they’d be, well, flagged by GCHQ’s , er, *ahem* monitoring station. Which, of course they don’t have.

It's Facebook, in fact. Malcolm Rifkind has never said anything negative about the security services in his entire life. Putting him in charge of the enquiry made it virtually certain MI5/6 would be absolved from any significant blame.
