Re: Are we at war?

Actually the number of people on the Terror watch list in the UK is more like 23,000.

That's 1 in every 3,000 of the population

Hi

I agree with you, we do not need a War, we are not fighting a nation state.

What we do need is this.

We are fighting an organised, well funded bunch of people who are determined to completely change our way of life.

In order to do this they are quite prepared to deliberately target our kids.

I am a Dad, no bugga targets my kids,or my pretend grandkids.

We absolutely destroy them, completely, utterly and totally.

Thanks for those figures Rhian. Just think if each of those 23000 carried a much stronger bomb, than Abedi did in Manchester, it would only take a few visits to Train stations, big concerts, big sports events or airports in the summer, to get rid of the majority of us!

Let's assume they all go "live" and target us...attacks will get more frequent and bigger.

Take Manchester for example:
3000 killing 22 per attack and injuring 120, for example=66,000 dead and 360,000 injured.


Just grabbing at figures....like you are.
Anything else you'd like to add?

Just a few figures grabbed out of thin air in response to "not matchpoint". said in a cockney accent.

Re: Are we at war?

Hi

There is a world of difference between sympathisers., Subjects of Interest and Jihadists.

We have limited resources, time to target them, on those most likely to carry out attacks.

In plain English, those who have travelled abroad to fight for or support ISIS and others.

I have posted previously about how it taked 32 Officers to put one of these under full time surveillance.

This is a nonsense.

Any who have dual citizenship are deported, any who are solely UK Citizens are either locked up or have Control Orders.

That would free up so many Officers to hunt down the rest.
