We have to be careful just talking about it on here but I want the big Islamic pink elephant question answered if there is any indication of that, as so many people seem to think there was.
Which people ? Those close to the case, those who knew him ?

Have you read some people's nonsense on Twitter ?

There weren't any photographs from the court (really) and only a drawing.

He was covering his head so we couldn't see his long "muslim" beard.

The authorities were deliberately using a photograph of him as a child.

Is is those people you are referring to ?

He’ll die in prison and not have an easy time; he’ll be a marked man.
I doubt it. He was- legally- a child when he committed the murders, so juvenile sentencing guidelines apply. Nothing has been raised to that effect so far.

Will be a life sentence, with a starting point of a minimum 12 years (this is only a starting point: there are various aggravating factors which will increase his minimum tariff, principally the pre-meditation & planning, the number of victims and the fact that most of them were young children).

Under current legislation, a 17 year old can't be given a whole life tariff, as dished out to the likes of Bellfield, Couzens, Adebolajo, Rose West etc.

He won’t be released while he’s deemed a threat to society. Given the severity and depravity of his crimes, it will be a massive sentence. They don’t need a “whole life tariff”. The CPS are currently appealing Sara Sharif’s murderer’s sentence of 40 years as being too lenient.

Still in Brighton
Reminds me of the Sandy Hook killer. Both seemingly autistic and a obsessive fixation / "special interest" (which can be common) which unfortunately in this case was... killing/mass murder. Then choosing the softest target they can find who cannot fight back, thus ensuring "success". An act/actor maybe as close to evil as can be. Thankfully extremely rare... but the question is, he was well known to "authorities" school/social services/police etc so how can this have been prevented?

I think that’s the point of the Inquiry, and hopefully learn any lessons that the agencies are able to learn

You almost certainly can’t. Democracy allows criminals enormous freedoms almost to the point of landing the first blow / casualty or casualties, and hoping for ‘limited damage.’
