This article was interesting to me as it made me think about certain security issues in the UK and the fact that he was able to get to the top without anyone stopping him. This story stood out to me as i have never really heard of anyone doing this certain act and the police and media not being aware of it for a while, the fact that he had suspicious acts meant that something much worse could have happened and without him being seen and found he could have been dangerous and we wouldn't have stopped him in time.
