So, are you saying that if someone is being "watched" by the security services, that we intern them.
Lock them up indefinitely, just in case or, in this case ban someone born in Britain, from re entering the UK.
Whilst the sentiment is good, I just dont see how it can happen.
Those that have gone to fight/support in Syria and then come back to the UK, again, do we lock them up in some Guantanamo type compound and again, how long for.
I am not defending these mindless terrorists but, some of the suggestions coming out in the wake of this atrocity just dont work.
Is there a known target where we can "hit back" and what effect would this have ?
Would it help to solve the problem or aid the recruitment process for ISIS. ?

That's exactly what we do have to worry about; the more disaffected and disenfranchised these people are made to feel, the more open they are to being radicalised and exploited by ISIS and its ilk.

I understand that people feel hurt and want to hit back - but we've been bombing these places for years, and as at least one party leader has had the bottle to point out today, that has played a large part in creating the problem.

some of these things can happen if there is a will to make them happen. Will they work? impossible to say, but you won't know unless you try.

Obviously ISIS and the extremists out there, we will not be able to completely eliminate... they are living amongst us and those willing to die for a cause by any means, how do you stop that? you can't is the simple answer but again we have to make it as difficult as possible for them to operate and i think that is far from the case at the moment.






What you looking at?....Butt Head!!

Or you make a knee jerk reaction and make things far worse because you did it with no idea of whether it would work or not.

If it's impossible to say then don't do it. The consequences are too serious for making policy on a whim. You need to properly weigh up the evidence.

There is no simple solution IMO. A lot of things need to happen and it can't just be done in this country. It needs to happen elsewhere too.

Maybe security services need to improve a bit too?

How exactly do you plan to "make it as difficult as possible for them to operate" ?
Empty words and idle threats may make some people feel better but, it's just rhetoric.

They do but isn't the official line at the moment 3,000 plus on the flagged up list? that's a lot of fish to keep in the net.

What do you suggest we just let ISIS walk in anywhere they like and do whatever they want? These are not people with whom you can have a rational discussion.






Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Empty threats and idle words from who? If you are referring to our establishment you are bang on.

I don't think bombing is the answer, never was never will be and it is the contributor as to why we are where we are today imo.
