We seem to be waking up to the risk posed by 'known unknowns' - those in the asylum system who disappear & those clandestine entrants we never knew anything about in the first place. Some of whom will inevitably be or become terrorists. As I said here.👇

We need moral red lines, not endless relativism by boss class diplomats who think we could ever have leverage over theocratic sadists who impose terror in their own country and export it worldwide. Proscribe the IRGC. Now.

Even the most badass revolutionaries require a 'meal-plan' and 'basic humanitarian aid' in the existential battle against capitalist imperialism

'Last week, the results of yet another inquest into a terrorist attack here, all but flattened by the news cycle juggernaut, revealed yet more failures by the state’s agencies to protect citizens.'
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson 🇬🇧🇮🇪 writes for CapX. capx.co/no-level-of-te…

In almost any other jurisdiction in the world, this maniac would have been shot dead. He lives to be tried for his appalling crimes because we have a routinely unarmed police service full of extraordinarily brave men and women.

Somebody's missing a pair of shoes.

NEW Extremist Content Online | Last week, CEP researchers located 20 TikTok accounts showcasing antisemitic, anti-Muslim, and pro-Nazi content. Despite being reported to TikTok on April 25, these accounts were still live as of April 29.

The power and potential of open prisons and open minds when it comes to rehabilitation. The best we know is that sustainable employment turns offenders around and so stops further victims. Custody should be built around work readiness/training/placement.

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson on last week's Inquest verdict on a terrorist killing spree that UK agencies should have prevented.

We routinely send police officers into harms way to face lethal edged weapons with a stick and a tin of hurty spray & maybe a taser. That they keep doing so is amazing in itself. But the threat is now routine so they must have proportionate protection.
Or they might stop.

There's 310 miles of border running through streams, mountains, bogs and sometimes people's houses. Dozens and dozens of lanes, tracks and roads dissect it. Thousands of soldiers deployed to it over 30 years of terrorism couldn't stop routine murder and mayhem. Best of luck.

The results of an inquest into the Reading Islamist attack are damning

While you were understandably distracted by world events, another catastrophic system failure of terrorist risk management in this country was laid bare by an inquest Coroner in front of bereaved families. There can and there must be improvement.

It's quite unbelievable. Some basic humility and an apology for the way Rosie Duffield has been treated would have been easy, responsible, popular and gracious. Instead, word salad and obfuscation. Come ON.

Another reminder of unknown clandestine entrants here in UK via irregular migration. That we have simply no clue about in terms of location or intent. Who among them will certainly number violent extremists intent on harm. This is a rational vector for transnational terrorists.

Prison Officers have human rights as well. The right not to be violently assaulted at work and the right to carry protective equipment that deters assaults and protects all in our care . Age is no excuse. End the violence and protect staff at work POA

I think we all need more of this in the teeth of the rage.

A case study in emotional reasoning.
