My MiL was once attacked by a crazy lady using fists. You don't mess with my MiL, she tore that girl's weave and knocked her right out. British mommas are vicious. They don't always need a gun.

My SiL was attacked by a robber with a machete. She laughed at him. Literally laughed in his face. He was so stunned the punk ran away like the coward he was.

Don't mess with British ladies!

Are you sure you have not confused your in laws with an episode of coronation street?

Couldn't stand any of the soaps when I lived there, Emmerdale Farm, Brookside, EastEnders, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. Garbage.

 By one report there are a few thousand individuals that the government seems to be aware of that they could remove, but choose not to. If the government claims they have no resources to do that, perhaps they'd better hurry up and fix that. Lives are at stake.

Did not say it was the government's fault, I said hatred is the culprit.. but not reading is a problem for you, so you're going to come to an incorrect conclusion. Government has a responsibility to protect its citizens. If it also does not live up to it's end of that responsibility what should citizens do in a relatively unarmed society? The society of last night ended up using whatever was available to bravely attempt to attack and distract the men. This included one officer who only had a baton to defend himself.

And if the govt goes in and rounds up several 1000 radical Muslims with known extremist ties, the MDL will freak out. If they don't and one commits a terrorist act, the MDL will blame the govt. 

 

How about blaming the rhetoric and hate of world wide radical Islam that makes this a top world wife threat

Does anyone have a theory as to why the U.K. Is seeing more instances of this and we are not?  

The same reason the Iranians let the hostages go when Reagan was being sworn in. They know what time it is. They don't want to get smoted

Not sure. Sitting around with my inlaws during tea time and watching Coronaton and Emmerdale was the thing to do... I can't believe they are still on tv.

Is it an insurmountable problem from the government perspective or is it a case of trying to balance invasion of privacy vs actual action?  It is difficult for the police no matter how well staffed to act on every lead they receive without an actual act.  There is also the political correctness aspect to consider.  As has been discussed on multiple threads, it is not right to equate the perpetrators of this act with an entire religion, so what can be done when a credible lead comes in?  I am not sure if I or anyone actually has all the answers, and government action is at best mediocre, so as you said, increased vigilance by the public itself seems the best course, but that may not stop the attacks, just possibly mitigate the aftermath.

I have to say with all honesty, when it comes to invasion of privacy, the UK government is a lot less free and has literally no problem with doing so (compared to the US) in regards to that. Free speech is also very regulated compared to here. Hate speech cleric not being arrested? Well they certainly have the ability to do it, where you'd have a problem doing that here. May has had years of such abilities at her disposal (it's the entire reason she obtained them) but has failed miserably. Unless they are not as effective as she said they would be.. hmmm.

I think that is what they call Islamophobia.
