Two explosions at Brussels Airport, several injured

being out of the EU would not have protected from these men, they were north african who merged themselves in to belgians islamic community

Agreed. It's easy to put words together that sounds good but it leads to policies that give too much power to the government and potentially threatening in the long run.

With the exception of Mossad and perhaps the BND, French intelligence is the next best security agency.

5 out of the 7 attackers were French nationals and all of them were registered as terror suspects.

As much as I would like to carry on a discussion, I can not if you keep on making false statements which I have to correct and resorting to conjecture to make an argument.

If you want to have a serious discussion, then let's have one but I'm not of a mood to correct your false statements/opinions and when called out upon it, go around swinging from tree to tree.

The argument would be that being in the EU, those people could have easily travelled to the UK and attacked.

how would they get the guns through customs? its the channel that protects us, not EU laws

I can't comment on whether they'd yeild results without seeing the strategies.



You kinda need "trusted" members in the community to do that. Its hard to "infiltrate" to an Islamic centre being white. But I guess there must make a start somewhere.

Guns can still be purchased in the UK, they will have contacts here.

It's contacts and networks in it's own former colonies is second to none.

Your anti-Muslim views are consistent with strong isolationism and nationalism - which is right-wing.

not automatic weapons, which are readily available in eruope mainlnd

Western governments have consistently given up emergency powers when the emergency has passed. In World War 2 the government had the power to intern anyone without a trial, there were mandatory ID cards, conscription among other things. These powers were given up and by the 1950s they had been repealed

In the 1970s there was a major problem with Irish republican terrorism, legislation was enacted giving the government greater powers to help tackle the threat. As the threat declined in the 1990s, the government gave up these powers again.

There is a consistent history in this country (and in France) that governments give up emergency powers when they are no longer needed. The conspiracy theorists are simply wrong when they claim that it's like a one-way ratchet that never goes back to the way it was, and that this is part of some conspiracy by the elites to oppress us. That's simply not how things work

I haven't displayed anti-Muslim views. I have however displayed anti-Islam views. There is a difference, and if you ask nicely I may spell it out for you.
And no, my views are not right wing.

You're criticising Islam, and therefore implicitly criticising Muslims.

And your anti-Muslim rhetoric is isolationist and nationalist which is consistent with right-wing policies, just as it was before you threw me that BS about how you're 'anti-Islam' but not 'anti-Muslim'. You said several times that 1.5 billion Muslims are responsible for the tiny fraction who are committing terrorist attacks.

I find it amazing with all the high tech security and surveillance present in these countries that such attacks even took place. What was it adolf hitler said: tell a lie, keep telling the lie, the lie becomes the truth

Could you give us a ranking of Intelligence agencies please?



I believe the French, a couple months prior to the attack, were warned by Iraq and another Middle Eastern State that there was going to be an imminent attack.

Why are you going on about jurisdiction? Do you not know about Europol and the fact that all of the attackers were on the terror list? Do you not realise that the attacks took place in France which is a failure of the French intelligence agency, even though they had been given sweeping powers after the Charlie Hebdo attack?

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the Paris attacks, the nationalities involved and the fact that the attacks occurred despite a range of new powers being granted to the intelligence agencies that was intended to thwart such attacks.

I prefer to see it that you are a victim of right-wing scaremongering.

If I was criticising national socialism then I would be criticising Nazis. if I criticise islam then you of course I am criticising muslims
