    Then you'd better be voting tomorrow for a party that doesn't consider Saudi Arabia as an important ally, who have failed with their Home Office policies for several years, and have Foreign Office policies that need to be reviewed as they don't appear to be working particularly well.

    But based on your other posts today, it seems like your solution is to round people up, based on their religion and put them somewhere that they can have freedom through work.
    Or is that not what you are suggesting?

      The 7/7 bombers had thrown away packaging that indicated some of the bomb making equipment. People saw it near their house / flat but didn't know who to to speak to about it because there was nobody in the neighbourhood to talk to about it.

        Does anyone REALLY imagine that a few more uniformed Police breezing around largely Muslim ghettoes is going to make one iota of difference to fundamentalist activities, and reduce the number of terrorist attacks?

        Of course it won't, the solutions to these problems are a bit more subtle than that.

          Increasing the number of the police will not influence foreign policy - none of us on here actually know what goes on behind closed doors between UK governments (be the Labour, Tory or MRLP) and other countries.

          However if you are saying we need more police to help combat terrorism they we need to concentrate those resources in the areas which are know to be breeding groups for radicalisation and extremism.

          Which areas they are I will leave other to comment on.

            If only it had dawned on these eagle-eyed samaritans to perhaps call 999 as a first option?

                "I've seen some packaging in the street" must be a high priority 999 call

                    Well according to YOU it would have been a high enough priority to alert your local Bobby to it had he been passing.

                    Make your mind up.

                      I'm sure what you post makes sense when you type it, but I have no idea what it means when I read it.

                      If my post was too subtle for you, I'll rephrase - there have been terror attacks committed by middle class people in the UK within living memory. To suggest otherwise implies either ignorance or someone quite young.
