The U.K. is clamping down on the release of convicted terrorists after a Sunday incident involving a recently released Islamic militant who is stabbed two people in south London.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pledged to implement increased restrictions after the attack last weekend and November’s London Bridge stabbing that resulted in two deaths.

He said the November attack has already prompted government efforts “to strengthen every element of our response to terrorism — including longer prison sentences and more money for the police,” Reuters reported.

Johnson’s interior minister, Priti Patel, who manages police, said the government expects to release its new plans Monday, Reuters and The Associated Press reported. After both attacks, the government said it plans to stop the early release of convicted terrorists, double terror sentences and revamp the process of releasing these prisoners back into society.

Johnson acknowledged the difficulty of addressing prisoners already in the system for terror crimes, saying the government doesn’t want to require intense surveillance of released prisoners.

Someone finally bought a clue.

Ya know, a rope and a gallows tree, or a headsman’s axe would probably work a whole lot better than “clamping down” on terrorism.

saying the government doesn’t want to require intense surveillance of released prisoners...

why not?

Now that they are out of that horrid EU, the UK just might want to look into stopping immigration from countries exporting the religion of hate.

That’s H - A - T - E.

Atypically bold of them; but Winston C. would have had them convicted and hanged by now.

A day late and a Euro short.
