'Sensitive' UK terror funding inquiry may never be published
Guardian UK ^ | 31 May 2017 | Jessica Elgot

Investigation into foreign funding and support of jihadi groups operating in UK understood to focus on Saudi Arabia ___ An investigation into the foreign funding and support of jihadi groups that was authorised by David Cameron may never be published, the Home Office has admitted.

The inquiry into revenue streams for extremist groups operating in the UK was commissioned by the former prime minister and is thought to focus on Saudi Arabia, which has repeatedly been highlighted by European leaders as a funding source for Islamist jihadis.

The investigation was launched as part of a deal with the Liberal Democrats in exchange for the party supporting the extension of British airstrikes against Islamic State into Syria in December 2015.

Tom Brake, the Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman, has written to the prime minister asking her to confirm that the investigation will not be shelved.

Teresa May really was angry that secrets were let out. It was secrets like these.
Our leaders want to light candles, and to tell is to stay strong (pretend like it never happened, accepting one may be killed and not offering any effort to stop it)

People like Teresa May, Bush, Obama, Hillary, Macron, Merkel all want to keep anything secret that makes people think islam or Saudi Arabia = Terrorism.
May was trying to keep the Manchester bombers identity secret, his Libya connection, the fact that the Brits bought him in 5 times for questioning, that fact that the British government piled money on him.

Id wanna keep that secret too.

Name and shame. Seize assets. Bet there are quite a few Ferraris and properties in London paid for by these bastards funding terror.
Cutting off the money will go a long way to stopping this crap.

Oh, and also not letting thousands known to have fought for ISIS back into the country and giving them welfare money. That might help too.

???All those things were public within hours. No evidence whatever that May was concealing them. The only thing briefly witheld - by the police, not May, till some fool leaked it - was the name: for the very good reason that they were still tracking down local members of his family whom they didn't want to tip off by revealing they had already discovered his identity.

You are a moron if you believe that. They didn’t release that info, the press got it through leaks and May raised holy hell.
And his family WAS the cell. His brothers said they knew about the plan. Explain to me how releasing his name would tip off other members of the plot... sport.
Hint, the other plotters know everything in advance.
It was not an effort at tactical surprise. It was an effort at political damage control and protecting the good name of islam.

What she wanted to hide is that her government questioned him 5 times, funded his life, and that it wasn’t a surprise.

And back to the story at hand. Why is she going to conceal the report into Saudi and other foreign funding of terrorism?

Nuke Mecca from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
