In reality it could have been back tracked, to the start if the bridge, further back, then cctv along the streets.

It's just man power and willingness to do it

"In reality" you're underestimating how time-consuming it is to retrieve footage and then trawl through said footage. It's not like the movies where the police can just tap in to all the CCTV in all the country and find what they're looking for in 30 seconds. There's a reason the CCTV images were only released to the public weeks after that bridge incident, and it isn't because the investigating officer(s) was sitting on their arse waiting for the case to solve itself.

In the case of a serious incident or a terrorist attack things can obviously be made to move along more quickly, but there's no immediate rush for someone pushed over on the street.

What about everyone who owns a bucket?

I would imagine that most people with their own place have a bucket ... so as a bucket was used here surely you should be looking for someone who no longer has a bucket rather than someone who still has one.

Someone who has a bucket is not the problem here ... they are are suspects for future bombings rather than for this one ....

So this idiot can't bomb right and can't escape right either. He literally had one job and failed. Spectacularly.

Then to escape he goes to the busiest port in the UK, the day after the bombing? Christ, I bet even IS are laughing at him. Idiot.

Worse than laughing. When he gets let out, he's going to be the new *ahem* wife :p

Home raided in Sunbury is owned by couple known for taking refugees in. Can't wait to hear the excuses by all the left morons who think we should be taking more of these people in

All the time we're at elevated security levels we should be withdrawing from existing freedom of movement arrangements with the EU. All arrivals should be required to have passport checks done. About time we tightened up our borders. Our own parliament should be bringing about an emergency immigration policy that can operate until a final brexit version can be agreed.

Good news, they've done just that.

is there any information on what kind of integrated cctv system they might have ? to make the timeline search efficient , it is not 30s, right, but they must have now spent several man-days on the investigation (they bought the guy in for questioning)

Given the bus driver and women making a report, indeed it seems surprising they did not release video earlier, a golden couple of days to just jog peoples memory, maybe they concluded pictures were of little use (just his gaite and build), so it was last resort, if the guy did not come forward.
Also perhaps they chose not to use their limited media communication bandwidth for displaying the video.

Give it a rest. The overwhelming majority of migrants and refugees aren't a problem.

Agree, you can't judge a group by the terrible actions of a few bad people. It's the right thing to do to offer safety to people fleeing those bad situations. Think how much good has come from giving women, children and families etc a place to be safe.

No where
Making explosives at home is fairly easy from non suspicious precursor chemicals, there's really not much that can be done to prevent these attacks other than monitoring known individuals.

Um, no it really isn't. If it was every jihadi would be using explosives but they're not are they. The common weapon is low budget knives and vans.

The easy to make explosives from materials at Tescos are either more dangerous to the user in transportation or are prone to fail as in this case and in the Barcelona attacks.

The actual explosives that can be turned into a malleable plastic which can be transported, he'll even nitroglycerin require hard to get materials such as 99.9% nitric acid. Which despite YouTube videos if very hard to make at the right distillations.

You make a convincing argument.

Looks like Trumps tweet was right (again) if the reports coming out this evening are true.

still no word from the police or policitians with Amber Rudd still saying it's "too early to tell". Anyone would think they'd want this covering up......
