"the 28-day limit for holding suspects without charge needed to be reviewed soon."

So, do they have any actual examples of why 28 days is not enough yet? There was a distinct lack of any actual evidence last time, which was why the measure was rightly defeated in Parliament. The whole argument seemed to be based on 'Ian Blair says the police should have 90 days, therefore we should agree to that'.

The Brits are gearing up for future terror attacks. The Democrat congress here is planning to tear down the few defenses we have. The American voters are dumber than geese and will deserve the inevitable consequences of this election.

This is what Britain gets for tolerating jihadis, all in the name of their common goal of destroying Israel.

I don't mean to piss off Mad & Mrs Ivan, who I can see our good people and on our side. But such is the ugly truth about Britain.

I suggest you read the latest by Melanie Phillips at her website to show how steeped in Jew-hatred Britain has become.

I hate to say it...but I agree. When it does happen here...I won't be cheering on any fake Democratic response.

Always bear in mind that Melanie Phillips is making a very good living by telling certain people exactly what they want to hear.

Some of what she says has merit, but you should be very careful about generalising based upon what she writes about Britain.

Don't make the all too common mistake of swallowing her agenda whole.

Well-said. Useful barometer: I live in the throbbing heart of Birmingham where there's a synagogue with no perimeter wall, no cameras etc. There's no repeat no anti-semitic graffiti and one sees people in hasidic dress on the streets. There is jew-hatred in Britain - but it's in the Mosques.

Is that all? No figures for the amount of Jews killed in Britain? Must be running into thousands according to Melanie.

As per post #9:

The UK need not worry, we will send over American Democrats and they will take care of the terrorists.
