The Difficult Conversation has to start.

OO I did.

Reality Check: May and Corbyn's record on anti-terror legislation - BBC News

You can look for yourself. She has voted for some laws.

Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001

May: Voted for it at Second Reading; absent at Third Reading

Ninety-day detention

May: Voted against the 90-day aspect. She voted for it at the Third Reading after major changes

Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act

May: Voted for it

Justice and Security Act 2013

May: Voted for it at Second Reading; absent at Third Reading

The Investigatory Powers Act 2016

May: Voted for it

Again, as I have said before, I can't find a single anti-terror law Corbyn has ever been in favour of. Not one. Not at any reading. Please find me one he has supported. The link is the BBC.

I am looking at her voting record in it's entirety, not just selected snippets (doing the same with Corbyn)  -
Voting Record — Theresa May MP, Maidenhead (10426) — The Public Whip

Good man. So if you find anything Corbyn has ever been in favour of, let me know. In fact it seems like he goes out of his way to vote against everything regarding terrorism. That's not just abstaining.

Then again, if you are a Jihadhi type, would it not be reasonable to assume that you wouldn't be stupid enough to appear on a TV documentary? In other words the security services would not take these guys as a serious threat?

Sonic67

You've got to be pretty stupid in the first place to think that blowing yourself up will take you to paradise with 70 odd virgins in the first place I would think, let alone appearing on tv documentary

They don't seem to have any problem with being open about their identity. Or at least not once they start killing. They are proud of what they are and only God can judge them.

I'm guessing this documentary led to him being on a watchlist or he was on it already anyway.

Sonic67

Or, just as likely, the armed police quickly neutralise the situation and far less people are killed or injured.

Cliff

Or just as likely, the terrorist keeps quiet his actions at first. Perhaps doesn't run up shooting Allah Ackbar, stuff like that, and the armed police is the first casualty.

We were talking about whether we carry on steadfast as we won't let terrorists win.
Well that's on message anyway... However, indulge me in an LGS type story.
Our cleaner came round today, who is Romanian and a Muslim. She came by train but on the way was sitting opposite a Muslim with a long beard and a bag. She feared for her safety and got off at the next station and waited for another train.
How many others, will do the same just as a sensible precaution? And that my friends is changing our way of life.
Even during the IRA attacks I changed from shopping at Harrods to Fortnum & Masons
