Another murderous attack in London last night must surely bring about some serious rethinking of our response to such things. This time, 3 men drove a white van into pedestrians on London Bridge before then getting out, running into various venues and attacking people with knives before they were shot dead by police. It's reported that 6 people died, plus the 3 terrorists, and 48 were injured in these incidents.
It's previously been reported that our security services know of many people whom they think may have terrorist connections and that they are actively 'tracking' several hundred of these. Following the vicious attacks in Manchester and now in London, it must be time to go well beyond 'tracking' such suspects; this is war and war calls for much more active measures.
Those whom the security services are 'tracking' should be rounded up and interned along with all others whose activities have created interest. Immigration of nationals of countries such as Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Algeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan should be stopped. Other travel between such countries and the UK should be strictly controlled and the possibility of young people going to them to be 'radicalised' must be ended. Internet sites and services known to be connected with these countries should be blocked. In other words, we should do everything possible to keep terrorists out and to prevent them from communicating with their compatriots.
These fanatics need to be taken off of our streets and it is time to take clear and decisive action. No more shilly-shallying, no more 'multi-culturalism'. Intern them, deport them, shoot them.
