  • I've only watched SP once. I must find time to watch it again. I was less than impressed the first time round.
  • @saintmark, I didn't forget about the root cause, I did not bring it up. Instead I chose to focus on how I think we could remove those who seek to harm us as a nation. I can only wonder if you have actually read any of my posts? Nowhere did I speak …

  • Happy Brexit day! The beginning of a glorious new chapter in British history. We won't forget our friends across Europe, but we as a nation decided we didn't want to continue under the control of Brussels. I'm proud Brexiteer and am even more dete…
  • @SaintMark I'm unsure what you don't understand when I speak about 'due process'. Also, I don't think anyone here has demonstrated 'blind hatred' towards Muslims. From my own perspective, hatred towards terrorists, yes. But 'blind hatred' towards M…

  • @DarthDimi, I actually met God once. At least that's who he said he was. He was sectioned shortly afterwards and, as far as I know, is still in the asylum. Re internment, who said all Muslims should be interred? Not me. Just to clarify I said tha…

  • No, not in this situation. From my perspective, MI5 would present a case to the judges, if the judges thought there was sufficient evidence to act, then the suspect would be arrested and held until further notice. This would be automatically exte…

  • Remember trials come after the event. Do we wait for more people to be slaughtered or do we act on intelligence reports? Remember I said that due process would be observed. It's not just a case of locking up anyone who goes to a Mosque but those, af…

  • No, without trial. Until such time as they are proved innocent or no longer a threat. Personally I put the rights of the civil population at large above those who have been positively identified as a threat to the security of the nation.

  • Terrorism is terrorism, however it manifests itself. Both factions in Northern Ireland carried out heinous attacks on innocent civilians. Some members here lived through it. 'Slipped off the radar' is a media term. Once you are suspected of terro…

  • Personally I feel the first step should be the internment of all terror suspects. This was done in Northern Ireland. Instead of attempting to keep tabs on people who cannot be watched 24/7, is it not best to place them into custody until such time a…

  • IMHO another weapon in the armoury of the would be terrorist is political correctness. As pointed out by other posters, when there are certain subjects which cannot be broached without the finger of racism being pointed, then those same subjects eff…

  • I asked this in another thread before seeing this one. My question is this; does anyone know what Ian Fleming made of 'Dr No'? (The film).
  • Re the 'suspicious' van (I guess they called 101), so long as they gave the registration number, it can be checked 'remotely'. The PNC will quickly bring up the registered owner and if it has any markers on it within the database. It won't be a drai…

  • I've removed my question as I have just noticed the 'James Bond Questions' thread and have asked it there instead.

  • Rolling news is the main problem here. At the time of the incident the main channels cut into their normal programming to present 'news' of the event when actually they had nothing to report. All they were able to speak about could have been compres…

  • Yes, and the really chilling development is that there is no need for any kind of logistical or practical support. No need for guns or explosives, the mantra appears to be use anything to hand to mount an attack. This vermin had a car and a couple o…

  • @Thunderpussy and @Dragonpol. Thanks. I've purposely made this new book much 'leaner' than the first and I'm happy with the result. Here's a segment from the Chapter 'All Necessary Means' Having casually eased himself into position and with sk…
  • A consensus is emerging among those in positions better placed than ours, which appears to back up my 'nonsensical' assertion that this vermin was just looking for a 'cause' through which he could vent his violent tendencies. Indeed Baroness Warzi s…

  • I'm pleased to announce the publication of the second Harry Flynn novel. 'Execution of Duty' follows directly from 'An Ungentlemanly Act' and sees Flynn dispatched to New York where he must take on the Irish American mob! Click the link for more…
  • I wonder if this programme will surface on You Tube at some stage?
  • My condolences to all those who have lost loved ones and my sympathy to everyone else who has been affected by this tragedy. The people of dear old Great Britain will never be cowed by such actions. I hope for a serious debate on this most gra…

  • @joshdeese93, I have no intention of entering into a slanging match with you but I feel compelled to say this: You began this thread with the most insensitive of posts. A post which I don't mind telling you I flagged up to the moderators. Since t…
  • As for banning religion, I am most intrigued to learn from those who advocate it, how the policy would be implemented? I'll start you off. In order to ban something it has to become a criminal offence. So religious worship - in all its forms - must …
  • Whilst I don't disagree, we have to remember that almost everyone subscribes to their own form of 'religion'. For some people that is the worship of a deity, for some it happens to be science (in that instance it can be defined as a pursuit or inte…
  • @Thunderpussy, yes, and in all likelyhood quite a few of them would have been carrying concealed weapons. I remember police carrying weapons under tunics/overcoats when engaged on protection duties, so they looked like 'ordinary' police. I am surpri…
  • @CommanderRoss I've been engaged on similar duties to the police at Westminster. Helping to provide a security presence on the perimeter of a certain building in a certain UK city. The terrorist threat was a credible one (and I'm not speaking about …
