📢 ☁ Fighting, terrorism

Maybe it’s to do with the dereliction of mental health help over the last 20 years in this country.

There’s been cuts, but to blame NHS psychologists and support staff is crazy.

Life is complex, history is complicated. This guy was radicalised by ISIS (ISIS only evolved cos ex Saddam generals) etc.

There is a delicious irony watching a football forum debating which interpretation/ translation of the Holy Quran is correct.

Whilst (as always) completely ignoring the fact that Islam itself is riven by these divides.

Obviously the Dullard has never even acknowledged differences as they don’t fit his Daily Mail view of the world…

So was it a Sunni, a Shia, a Wahabi? Which sect allows mixed religion marriages then? Among other deeper theological questions ?

No need to do that. It’s not what we normally do. We normally have someone accountable for the overall shebang. May 2015.

There is “no ducking the fact” that spending on the police has to face further cuts but it “is perfectly possible” to do it without affecting the quality of neighbourhood policing, the home secretary, Theresa May, has told officers.

She accused the Police Federation of scaremongering and repeatedly “crying wolf” over the impact of the previous round of cuts in police funding as part of the government’s austerity programme – and rejected their claims that further cuts would force them to adopt “paramilitary styles of policing” in Britain.

May 2017.

Jesus won’t be happy that you avoided him in his own house.

Don’t worry, he’s quite forgiving.

Not as crazy as that interpretation. I don’t think Cherts is blaming the staff, more the lack of.

Correct - definitely not blaming the staff, more the lack of investment in the area.

This fits into the picture somehow.

Just won’t be me commenting or speculating on that.

This backs that up, as far as the mental health issues are concerned.

A good read that covers different parts of the problem and hopefully ends the claim that our interventions haven’t caused the problem.

US State Department data shows that since 2001, terror attacks have skyrocketed by 6,500 percent, while the number of casualties from terror attacks has increased by 4,500 percent.

I read the third one as “LOL! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are wanton folk.” They were way ahead of their time with slang back then.

Scary, scary shit.

So. Where are all the outraged Tweeters this morning?

Those saying we should Nuke those evil bstds?

But hang on, they were all over my Social Media, the papers and appearing on TV when Chemical Weapons were used in Syria.

Meanwhile. Just WHY would US Security Services LEAK the British Intelligence briefings? Open Government? Or throwing more gasoline on the flames of public paranoia in the States?

Extremism is down to Women’s Emancipation.

Yes, of course it is.

Good piece here from Simon Jenkins in The Guardian. “Without publicity, terrorism is just dead bodies.” A harsh statement but true. The poor victims in these attacks are just collateral damage and provide the fuel that builds the fire. It is working big time. The media seem to be ramping up their covereage. It isnt just the likes of Katie Hopkins and Piers Morgan. More and more “normal” jounalists are getting involved and hassling relatives of the victims. I lost count of the times the attack was referrence in the Europa final last night. We were even told that Manchester United won it for the victims! FFS. I bet that made the grieving relatives feel so much better. These nutters want us to spend our days fearing them. They want us to fall out with other Muslims. They want us to “lockdown” (the new go to phrase for the media whenever there is a terrorist attack). They want us to talk about their act during other televised activities. They want the PM to stand up and call them a threat. This is the way they win. It goes against the grain, but we, or more importantly the media and the Government, should start to look how this stuff is dealt with publically. Acknowledge that there has been an attack but stop giving so much time and space to the perpitrators, stop spending so much time on the poor victims* and let the intelligence services get on with their job as they are meant to do - behind the scenes and only revealing information that they feel is important for the investigation and the prevention of further attacks. All this stuff about troops on the streets and searching bags is bollocks. All the terrorists do is to move to somewhere that isnt protected. There are guards at the Marlow theatre in Canterbury for example. Walk to the road less than a hundred yards and the main street is packed with tourists and students. A much bigger target. Armed guards at Buckingham Palace? Wonderful. What about The Glades Shopping Centre in Bromley? As Jenkins says, when Blair despatched the tanks to protect Heathrow in 2003 all it did was to scare off hundreds of thousands of tourists. We win by carrying on with our lives with as much normality as we can and by not turning these events into something even bigger than they are.

* If you were a grieving parent, relative, friend or loved one of these unfortunates, would you want to see them plastered all over the media before you had even started the grieving process? Why do we need constant interviews with neighbours and ex school friends? Can’t a list of names surfice? It must be hard enough to lose someone in this way, but to have them be a part of a media frenzy must be even more harrowing.
