Whilst in principle I agree, how do you deport someone to a country that will not accept them.

Put them on a plane fly over the country give them a parachute and toss them out the door would be a easy way !!!

I am using IE 10 with Win7 x64, and the browser starts to the Home page in about 5 seconds. I find it quick ...

God that is slow ....

Just tested on my Mac, Safari opens in 1.5 sec and Firefox in 1 sec.

There is a reason it is called winDOZE.

but I want someplace nobody will find us.

If we were to monitor and track all movements of anyone ever seen holding a placard at a radical rally, we would have to quadruple the size of the security services.

...relegating your mob to 4th which is where they belong!

Really, well well, I am quaking in my boots I really am ...... another G&T Nick?

Reality

Like many others I don't like Sky. But I gotta love their Cricket App I just downloaded......

....only one word for it....

...AWESOME!

well boy'o where is the link for it or do I have to be a subcriber to use it

I'd absolutely love one, how much?

UKIP = 6 pints & a monkey

Sorry you got it back to front!

UKIP is run by 6 monkeys sharing 1 pint ;-)))

Which is why until their discharge, they should be armed at all times.

If any more off duty armed forces personnel are targetted there may be a case for that for self protection. Shoot first, ask questions afterwards, is the rule in combat, which both sides practice, it's a very difficult transition to the nations streets with civilians. So all those in the area yesterday were forces personnel from various nations then

Once these nutters realise that they're going up against an armed professional, they'll think twice.

Yes they will, and start carrying arms themselves. But at the same time you can't leave armed forces without any means of personal protection in the face of threats. Was this soldier personally targeted days beforehand, or as the attack happened close to a barracks, did they just pick on the first one they saw coming out? When you are up against crazed religious extremists there isn't any rhyme, reason, or rules. Was this just a one-off, or are more of the same being planned? For Christ's sake, wake up man. They went looking for soldiers! So it's ok for service personnel to fight & die for this country but they're not allowed to protect themselves? 9/11 & 7/7 has shown that combat zones are no longer on desert battlefields with hardly any civilians in the way

In a lot of ways this is similar to the Japanese Kamikaze (God Wind)(Actually, it means Divine Wind) pilots of WWII. I am happy to die for the cause and the honour of my country. How do you effectively deal with fanatics like that? that's easy, fight by their rules & watch terrorism end swiftly!

Maybe it's time to have a couple of the police in each station with guns , all our police carry guns and Tasers

Police in the UK are not routinely armed whilst on duty, they are a civilian force not a para-military one. But yes they do have access to tasers which are being increasingly used in incidents. There is a system of fast response by armed officers from SO19 that are specially trained in many types of firearms. They are out on patrol 24/7 with HQ backup, and can usually attend an incident within a few minutes in London. I still think we need to assess whether this incident is a one off, or the beginning of a new wave of terrorist based attacks. At present there are no plans to recall Parliament for the Home Secretary to make a statement.
