Andrew Leak, the man suspected of Sunday’s firebombing of a Dover migrant centre,
had a history of sharing far-right content and posting racist comments online, prompting questions about why it took police two days to treat the attack as an act of terrorism.
Leak, from High Wycombe, who was found dead after Sunday’s attack,
made no secret of his admiration for Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League. He pictured himself online wearing a union jack face mask, and frequently shared posts by Robinson and conspiracy theories by several far-right groups, including New World Order, the Traditional Britain Group and Turning Point UK.
In a post in July, Leak claimed “all Muslims are guilty of grooming … they only rape non-Muslims”.
He also “liked” a number of far-right groups on Facebook, including Enoch Powell was Right; Close UK Borders; God Hates Islam; and Patriots party.

BBC news
(up to the last I looked this morning) didn't give any details, aside from his age and name.
This will have come as no surprise to the majority of people who thought this attack wasn't anything less than a hatred attack. I'm surprised that it hadn't happened sooner.
