  1. The User only registered in March - doubt they are even local - and would they say that to me down the EDT
  2. Can people stop accusing others of taking advantage of a tragedy - I am deeply offended as I would not accuse anyone else of that. Once more and I will report to admin.

Theresa May will stop them going out apparently ?And we should do even more to restrict the freedom and the movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they present a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court. ?If our human rights laws stop us from doing it, we will change the laws so we can do it. If I am elected as Prime Minister on Thursday, I can tell you that this vital work begins on Friday.?
  4. Theresa May has said she is going to rip up the human rights laws. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/theresa-may-terrorism-human-rights_uk_5936ec0be4b0099e7fafd14d?utm_hp_ref=uk She's also put security back on the table in the Brexit negotiations. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/eu-security-brexit-article-50_uk_5936b9cce4b0cfcda917af2c?utm_hp_ref=uk
  5. Reports of an explosion at Notre Dame edit: or maybe an attack of some sort ? Thankfully not as first flashed on my phone http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-incident-shooting-notre-dame-cathedral-police-attack-gunshots-france-ile-de-la-cite-a7775741.html

    The investigation into the funding of Jihadi's may never be published (too sensitive) https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/31/sensitive-uk-terror-funding-inquiry-findings-may-never-be-published-saudi-arabia Meanwhile to the right Paul Nuttall wants to ban Saudi funding of UK Mosques.

  11. The most anti Corbyn follower I have on Twitter is Labour (Blairite faction). He told me he wanted Corbyn destroyed (I had to say Theresa May isn't helping you is she) But surely people must give Corbyn some respect for tenacity at least - he just won't let go, ever. He's 68 too and seems to have energy levels of a twenty something.
  12. Theresa May on Liar Liar "Well, I?ve heard bits of it and to be perfectly honest I?m not very happy about it. I don?t much like it, I don?t think anybody would when they heard a song about themselves like that." Assuming she always lies this must logically mean she liked it.
  13. I'm Camberwell and Peckham ward - so will avoid the temptation.

    Of course they do - I had a nice Phil Oakey at that time - and I loved it.

    Her haircut is quite ... radical, but then it was the 80s, step to the left :)
  16. Borky Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > is a stasi like structure really the way forward ? No - but I'm playing Devils Advocate a bit because there will be calls for that sort of thing (and internment). We seem to have got it more or less right on terrorism to be honest - but I do think other crime needs more bodies. (it seems to be forgotten we had another fatal stabbing in Peckham the other day)
  17. I meant Regan and Carter (they used to have loads of 'contacts' in the underworld). More seriously - there seems no point in keeping someone on a "watch" list if they aren't having some tabs kept on them. You can see why Farage and Hopkins call for internment (and even Fox News disowned that idea)
  18. Can't "secret policemen" set up there own networks of "snitches" or am I being a bit Sweeney Todd

Why on earth do they let her on TV? It's rather sad but I think Corbyn's close to letting her go (to a more junior role). Apparently she "doesn't go through the leaders office when booking TV appearances"
  20. Sadiq Khan has commented on Police Numbers now. I see a U turn coming. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/sadiq-khan-breaks-cover-after-10568339

  23. On Saturday we were being told not to retweet the image - but in the main stream media now. SAS helicoptor coming in low over London Bridge. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/what-blue-thunder-sas-crack-10561106
  24. Of course even when talking about terrorism - this guy was known Why wasn't he watched - resources of course. Katie calling for internment of the entire watchlist - but that would mean prison camps being created etc.

Of course they did - 8 minutes - but at the expense of lower level crimes perhaps ?. and it's stopping the lower level crimes which stop the higher level crimes. I did note the fact that "everyone" in the borough carries knives was shown to be wrong - we are all basically defenseless other than broken bottles etc.
