A sex offender who drove his car into the Downing Street gates in an “attack on democracy” has avoided prison.
The car’s impact caused the outer gates to swing open and the main gates to shake, Southwark Crown Court was told on Tuesday.As he was being detained, he told them he had “had enough”, adding: “I need help.” “The defendant had driven down Whitehall towards Parliament Square and manoeuvred his vehicle so he was facing the gates.
The prosecutor said Kneller’s actions were “pre-planned and deliberate”, which “clearly raised concerns” the attack was a terrorist one. He added: “This is not an individual who has thought through the consequences of their actions and how they would affect another individual.”
