I guess banning the display of the English Cross of St. George flag did not work then. /s
Two UK gov’t officials said:
their THOUGHTS were with the victim’s family. I’m reading and thinking, what about prayers? Thoughts and prayers???
I say that’s one of UK’s big problems. They’re COWARDS.
In this UK report the liberals as usual still don’t want to offend anyone for the terrorist beheading of the off-duty British soldier while screaming “allahu akbar.”
“While it would be premature to reach any firm conclusions, the Government appears to be treating this as a terrorist incident:”
The savage attack in Woolwich must not shake our resolve
The barbaric murder of a soldier in Woolwich fits al-Qaeda’s blueprint for home-grown terrorism

‘The terrorists will never win, because they can never beat the values that we hold dear.” That was David Cameron’s response to the barbaric scenes that shattered the calm of a south London street yesterday afternoon, with a British soldier being hacked to death by two assailants in broad daylight. The news that the Queen intends to continue with a planned trip to the Woolwich barracks sent much the same message.
While it would be premature to reach any firm conclusions, the Government appears to be treating this as a terrorist incident: the fact that Theresa May, the Home Secretary, responded to the attack by calling a meeting of Cobra, the Government’s emergency committee, as well as receiving a detailed briefing from MI5, suggests that this was no ordinary murder. The atrocity certainly fits al-Qaeda’s blueprint for home-grown terrorism, whereby its supporters have been urged to carry out individual attacks, rather than trying to undertake sophisticated operations on the scale of the July 7 bombings. It will be cold comfort to the family and friends of the dead man that the call by al-Qaeda leaders such as Anwar al-Awlaki – the cleric killed by a US drone strike two years ago – for sympathisers to carry out individual outrages was, in large part, a reaction to the success of our intelligence and security services in disrupting more elaborate and more deadly plots.
Perhaps the most poignant detail that emerged yesterday was that the victim was apparently wearing a “Help for Heroes” T-shirt...
Appeasement. Never works.
