I'm not old enough to remember but weren't ID cards issued in WW2

Of course you're not old enough to remember such things - but yes they were, in fact I have still got mine (child's version ) somewhere.

I have revised my view about ID cards and I now suggest that everyone is microchipped instead - that way it would be even easier to monitor those who are in need of monitoring.

The police would literally have you by the scruff of your neck. I presume you would have to go somewhere from time to time to have software updates.................

No need - the chip just has a number which can be scanned and it links to a central computer where all your data is stored - simples.

Basically the same as we do now with dogs and cats

Terror threat level now reduced.

Any reason given or do they think the nine people they have in custody warrant it ( yes I am being sarcastic )

I believe, because unlike Jeremy Corbyn and UKIP, I think these things are too important to make political capital from, that the threat level was raised because, as the definition says, a further attack was thought to be imminent. I also believe that was the fear because it was thought the Manchester bomber was a mule, not the bombmaker, and that the bombmaker was still at large with maybe another bomb and another brainwashed volunteer.

The reduction in threat level, made not by the government but by the Joint Intelligence Committee, defines the threat of an attack now as likely, rather than imminent. We don't know why but the security forces do. Maybe they now have evidence the bomber was the mastermind, or they have the mastermind in custody or know he's left the country.

Personally I'd rather put my safety in the hands of the security forces and the government, rather than the misinformed or uninformed cynics and conspiracy theorists attacking their efforts.

I presume others also saw the theory that this attack never happened? It was staged as a stunt by the Tories and the victims and witnesses were all actors?

The victims and their families and those charged with the awful responsibility of keeping us safe deserve more than cynicism and sniping.

And wasnt it Delicious Diane Abacus who wanted to scrap MI5 and Special Branch..

[Mervyn and Trish]

And Corbyn repeatedly voted against anti terror legislation. And Cleggy got what there was watered down to protect their human rights and civil liberties.

[screwy]

Ok,lets be honest,every party are as bad as each other for being dishonest with us poor misinformed fools
But i do wonder why, when all this regarding Corbyn and Co is revealed, why do some people still think he's good for the country and want to elect him.These people just cannot be trusted, i dispair.

[david63]

... why do some people still think he's good for the country and want to elect him.

Because he is going to give everybody tickets to football matches, whether they want them or not

[screwy]

We could use his head as the Ball..

What - and put football makers out of work? That would only increase unemployment and affect the benefits system

More worrying is where they put the plug

7 now dead,

[towny44]

I think we might need to consider internment for some of the suspects on the security services anti terror lists if these attacks escalate any further.

[Onelife]

I wonder which Mosque these three terrorist's belonged to ?

If we want to rid this country of these murderous indoctrinated thugs then we need to start looking closer to home.. e.g deport the immediate family connected to any known terrorist suspect...dead or alive....

...You'll soon see how quickly the Muslim communities weed out these bast**d's.

Oh!....Then close every independent Muslim school in the country.....How can you achieve integration when you have segregation in our education system?

[Stephen]

All we seem to hear is, there will be yet another 'COBRA' meeting, for all the good they do.

You can just hear it, "oh isn't it terrible, let's all meet up for a chat to show the public we are doing something, and don't forget to make sure you put in your expenses claim".

I was reluctant to mention the word earlier in this thread, BUT, maybe that is just what is needed.

There are now reports that police have shot a man outside Notre Dame after he tried to attack them with a hammer. The world is full of dangerous nutters!
