Just saw that on TV. Trump tweeted May should look at security in UK. I know the far right rightly hits a nerve if you are Muslim, and the majority of normal people who are not.But I wish some of the angst we have seen here would be recipricated when we do see terrorist attacks, like the Ariana Grande concert. So many young teenage girls lost their lives.That is way more serious than tweets and re-tweeting.
Where have I run to?
Okay, my apologies.
Probably not the thread for it, but in what ways do you consider the current government / opposition AREN'T taking the potential for terrorism seriously?
Agree. I also don't get all the righteous politicians coming out today to try and get Trump banned yet again, but they are allowing actual terrorists to return from fighting for ISIS in Syria.
As much as the liberal left hate this, you have to say that's pretty accurate. If the mainstream political parties all sing from the same Politically Correct Hymn Sheet, then it's inevitable that some people will be forced to the extremes.
We saw a less extreme model of this in action in respect to the EU; all 3 mainstream parties in complete agreement that the EU was wonderful. Except that a majority of the population didn't agree, so who could they vote for? Hence UKIP was born (nowhere near as far right as Britain First, before anyone wants to jump in with a deliberate misunderstanding of the analogy),
The popularity and growth pf UKIP forced the EU loving Tory Party to offer a referendum, something that everyone agrees would not have happened if UKIP had not existed.
We have also seen similiar cause and effect with AfD in Germany, with all the mainstream parties being pro immigration.
Britain First is a tiny organisation, with zero elected representation in the country. Interesting though, they apparently have 1.9 Million followers on Facebook, which is more followers than the Conservatives and Labour combined.
What do you suggest?
Banning terrorists from returning from Syria and revoking their passports. It's not a difficult one is it.

She's hopelessly devoted to the pervert after he called her a respected columnist some time back (not to mention their same hate filled views). That there should have been a warning that his judgement couldn't be trusted, not that anyone in the US would have heard of the poisonous hag.
Unfortunately, she is a regular on Fox in the US.She has many US fans. No idea why because she is basically a British version of Ann Coulter and we can all agree one of those is one too many.
The only terrorist to kill an MP was a member of Britain First and yet we haven't locked the lot of them up.
