Well let's see Kevin:

1: So the NHS workers who tried to keep him alive were wasting NHS resources?

The Paramedics responding to the incident were doing their job. In the case of Khalid Masood it was a wasted effort - he died at the scene of the incident.

2: IF - "he wasn't responsible for his actions by reason of insanity." - there would have been NO TRIAL Kevin, I would have thought that as an experienced journalist you would have known that.

3: "As for the possibility that if he had lived, and had turned out to be involved in a jihadist cell, other lives might have been saved in the future, not worth considering that."

Lots of "ifs" and "mights" there Kevin. Fortunately at the time the armed policemen at the scene were more interested in protecting the public and themselves from someone obviously intent on doing harm. Perhaps the Security Guards and Police down in Tunisia read the McGrath of Harlow procedure on the advantages of keeping a terrorist gunman alive - how many lives did he take again Kevin?

4: Save the cash, and avoid any possibility of anything that he might have experienced as a punishment.

More interested in protecting the public Kevin than in worrying what Masood might have experienced - he now gets to share the experience of his innocent victims.

By the way Gnome is it possible for someone who is not English to be a "Little Englander"?
