As aaid points out, this is far more damaging to May than Corbyn through happening 'on her watch' on top of cuts to the police. Trying to twist this into some preemptive anti-Corbyn coup is idiotic. It also deflects attention away from the reasons those who carry out these acts feel the need to do so, and the only hope of stopping them is to focus on those reasons, not to ignore them.

Attlee, Wilson - we've had Labour governments carrying out socialist policies that Corbyn-in-power could only dream of. There are far simpler methods of controlling the executive in a parliamentary democracy than organizing the random slaughter of one's own citizens - just watch Yes Minister.

I should clarify, I don't think this is an anti Corbyn coup per say, nor am I trying to score political points but we're unlikely to ever really know who did this or why, well not beyond the narrative that we're told by the authorities.

Regardless of conspiracy theories there is absolutely no doubt that this will give Theresa May the bigger majority she wanted

Whoever wrote her speech given just now knows that and she said all the right things

Corbyn was already on shaky ground with this issue because of his failure to nip it in the bud at the leaders debate

Tell me about it.

Both main parties suspend party politics for the day then her "brief" turned into a Conservative Party Political broadcast.

You couldn't make it up!

My takeaways weren't the heroism of the Police and paramedics, but that we (her) need to increase bulk surveance of the internet (everyone's usage) and continue to bomb Iraq and Syria. And she's the one to do it.

I can understand the point of view, that is some of them travel to suspect countries, then thats it - they stay there - no admittance to UK/Europe

Exactly using our laws against us 

Nothing to do with laws. 

Aaid is asking the question literally, where do you deport a British citizen to? 

Do we just pick a random country and say "Fancy taking our terrorist pkease?"

What I would do is set up a private jail, put all homegrown terrorists amongst themselves, so that they can't radicalise anyone else. Solitary confinement for 23 hours with a minimum term of 20 years sentence.

If they were 1st generation British then deport their family too, as having links to terrorists

So being related to a terrorist should be an offence now.

You really are beyond parody.

My opinion, you don't have to agree with it. 

Perhaps you could give them a wee cuddle and tell them it will be ok

I'm interested in solutions that can actually be implemented, will actually work and which will be sustainable in the long term not some right wing spunk off that doesn't actually achieve anything.

That doesn't include deporting people who are British Citizens because that's actually not possible and as Marky points out its nothing to do with laws - although it is illegal under both UK and international law - it's impossible  to implement as well.

It doesn't include internment for suspects without trial. That's been proven to be a total failure in Northern Ireland where it acts as a recruitment tool for the terrorists and so for every one you lock up, you drive another 2 or 3 to take up arms.  In Northern Ireland the killings went up, not down, during internment.  It also make the people you intern more radical and more dangerous as you are bringing together a lot of individuals who were previously not connected and increase their collective knowledge and create and strengthen their networks for when they do actually get released.

It doesn't include increasing sentences for terrorist related offences.  That sounds like you're being tough but achieves nothing.  These people aren't thinking about going to prison, they don't want to be taken alive, they want to die as martyrs - as they see it.   The size of any potential prison sentence won't be anywhere in their minds.

It does include giving the police and security services the resources they need.  It also involves looking at anti-radicalisation programmes like Prevent to see if they are actually working and where they can be improve upon and giving them the funding that's required.

It also includes going after the money and closing down where ISIS is being funded from and that includes Saudi Arabia.  It includes looking at the whole "War on Terror" as it clearing isn't one we're winning.

After Manchester I read someone saying they should bring back the death penalty for terrorists.  Agian it sounds tough but don't really think that would work against suicide bombers and as you say would be counter-productive.

Am glad this board was not on the go during " the troubles " as i suspect a lot of folk on here would support the balaclava mob as long as it supported their anti establishment ideals

How you getting on Theresa?
