All very true, it is all very well to throw money at preventing these atrocities, but when the madmen get lucky, we are going to need all the emergency services we have .
As in a lot of things, this government knows the cost of everything, and the value of nothing
I think you are probably right, unfortunately, but all the time we are keeping the bad guys from getting any decent ordinance their options are severely restricted
I really think you are underestimating the security services.I imagine that GCHQ has a pretty good handle on all those that it needs to be watching, but, for obvious reasons it is not going to advertise the methods and strategies that they use.
If a returning Syrian jihadist is allowed to return...
Islamist terrorists have only actually murdered 57 people in this country, I say, only but obviously even that is far too many. 56 of these were in the London bombings, and the other was Lee Rigby.
I would think, that this is due in part, to the very tight gun laws in this country, an extremely...
Quite the most ridiculous post on this thread so far.
Up until Nov 2014 the security services had foiled over forty Islamist terror plots, and possibly another 10 in the last year. An on going court case at the moment, is a couple of wannabe jihadist who were days away from bombing the...
An article I have just read, quite interesting,www.independent.co.uk

Still strapped into his suicide vest? I imagine that last night atrocity was always planned as a one way trip to Heaven, and 72 virgins. I just don't understand the need to carry his passport
Is it pmt or a bad hangover?
It was just a not very humerous aside, not a condemnation of all Euro sceptics, some of whom I have a great deal of respect for, even if I don't share their views on this particular subject.
Why on earth would he be carrying his passport? Surely, the longer they can conceal their identities after the event, the more time their co-conspirators would have to either, escape justice, or carry out further atrocities.
I really do think these people aren't criminal masterminds, just...
French Moslem immigrants are more likely to have come from North Africa, than the Middle East, and as we are seeing now, these countries are becoming more and more radicised, what with the Libyan situation, the Arab spring uprisings in Allgeria, and Tunisia.
With the terrible situation in Syria...
My own thoughts on this, are that France, as a country has a larger far right wing bias than us. Maybe, the National Front will be elected in 2017 on the back of a backlash against Moslem immigrants, as they are far more successful at the polls than our own far right parties, be it the BNP, NF...
