Far right terrorist threat growing in UK

“Ironically, while Islamist and extreme rightwing ideologies may appear to be at opposing ends of the argument it is evident that they both have a great deal in common,” he said.
Rowley said both groups have a common goal of “increasing tensions and divisions in communities”. He said both reach into communities through sophisticated propaganda, as well as create intolerance and isolation by exploiting grievances. He added both also reinforce a sense of isolation by generating distrust of the state and offer “warped parallel alternatives” that undermine values of tolerance and diversity.

I'd need to be told a lot more about the 'four plots' to believe anything, certainly not going to take his word for it.

The retiring head of counter-terrorism in the UK has warned of the growing threat of the far right, with four terrorist plots having been foiled in 2017. A third of referrals to Prevent are now for people engaged in far right terrorism. There was no comment on successful attacks such as the Finsbury Mosque attack.

I'm not sure if I find these stats surprising or not... how about you guys? Do you think enough is being done to prevent radicalisation?

not surprising at all. People from across Europe have been calling that this would happen for years now.

An increase in Islamic terrorism, was always going to be met with an increase in anti-Islamic terrorism.

What did the article say, this year they have stopped 10 islamic plots, and 4 right-wing plots.. I would not be surprised if the numbers are the same in a few years.

In the past this sort of escalation and attitude would have led to civil war, but I hope these days we have moved past that point, and can actually address the issues properly. Because both sides do have legitimate problems.

... You're not going to believe a police chief?

Not in this case, the police have become too politicized and are little more than purveyors of a leftist social agenda these days. The way they have been stitching blokes up in rape cases is absolutely criminal, all at the instigation of whom?

You may be too young to remember this but we once had a government that took us to invading another country under the pretence that they had a comprehensive arsenal of so-called WMDs. All pukka, official intelligence reports and all that. Ever since, I need to see it to believe it. The left stop at nothing in pursuit of their objectives.

Not by a long shot. Especially as people/the authorities seem only to be focussing on Islamic terror which historically has been a non event in the UK until very recently.

Why? The illuminati, of course.

The far right have and will always be the biggest terrorist threat. One look at history should tell you this.

Get real and wake up from that drunken stupor, will you?

I was very close to the terrorist attacks in London on 7/7 and they had nothing to do with the far-right.

My mother was in the City last time the IRA. the terrorist organisation supported by Corbyn, blew up something in this country. All along they were murdering British policemen and soldiers and your idol was there holding them by the hand all the way, maybe that is why the left want to push this con about far-right terrorism. All you can come up with is some down and out getting high and driving a van into a crowd in a fit, or some idiot publishing on fb that he is going to buy an axe.

The biggest threat of all this country is facing is the rise of the far-left, their takeover of the Labour party and possibly the country. They'll reduce it to rubble quicker than all the far-right plotters put together could dream of.

59% of deaths in the US last year were from right wing terrorism. Left wing extremism counted for 3%.

The IRA were right wing nationalists. All Corbyn did at the time was to speak out of turn, to say he supported them is vastly skewing what he was up to (which wasn't good in itself, but it's a different story).

The brutal murder of an MP in the street by a far right nutjob is enough to make people sit up.

Sadly you will always have those that play down such things, particularly when the terrorist' s political views are close to their own.
