// Al-Qaeda is planning a Paris-style terrorist atrocity against Britain, according to the head of MI5.

They include plans to blow up a passenger jet; Mumbai-style shootings in crowded places; or even hit-and-run attacks using vehicles.

MI5 officers have increased surveillance of British fanatics who they fear may launch copycat attacks. Intelligence has shown that the Syrian arm of a resurgent al-Qaeda is planning similar outrages against the UK, possibly by British jihadists who have already returned from fighting in Syria or Iraq. //

And it TalkTalk and Plusnet's fault

// It is feared that a lack of cooperation from internet companies means that there is a risk of terrorists slipping through the net because MI5 cannot track them.
Mr Parker warned that terrorists may soon be able “to operate beyond our reach” as he renewed calls for enhanced access to digital communications. //

Two ways of reading your post Mastercraft.

Either she 'should' as in she had an appointment but didn't attend for some reason.

Or she 'should' as in she ought to have been in danger.


The first is acceptable,the second is sickening.
I'd rather have a policeman than a two faced politician.
Whatever your rationale,your statement says a lot about you.
As does yours.
I am glad of that - hope you are too - the day I wish death or suffering on anyone is the day I cease to be a sentient being - Goodnight.
Sleep well.
Nite nite Mama sleep well
Ah. Another attempt to convince the public they need to be monitored for their own good. I'm not going to quake in fear for what may happen. I'm sure MI5 are capable of monitoring suspects without opening the floodgates for keeping the rest of us under scrutiny / control.
MI5 and GCHQ etc are less capable of doing their job properly because of Edward Snowden. It amuses me that we all think we are so important - not to mention few in number - that we imagine we are being watched, all our emails read etc etc.
birdie // I respectfully disagree. I think that they [terrorists] do want to scare people. They want to do so in order to curtail freedom of speech; //

Yes, I see your point.

I was listening to R4 this morning and there were some pretty depressing things being said. The attitude from alot of muslims seems to be 'They brought it on themselves, they insulted the prophet' - and then almost as an afterthought '..violence is wrong though'.
One guy actually said he loved the prophet more than his parents, wife, and children. What a chilling and depressing mentality.
Terrorist acts, after the initial shock and disgust are all about creating uncertainty, fear and disruption to our lives. That's why the people of Paris were fantastic to publicly unite in the way that the did.
Of course, all major UK cities will now wonder who is next and when, and in that sense, the Terrorists have achieved something.
The biggest worry is despite the amount of efforts into making travel, particularly airline travel as safe as possible, these attacks can easily be random and in public areas with no security controls; shopping centres, public transport, shooting into crowds etc.....
The ability to track terrorists is near impossible. For every lead MI5 and associated networks receive there are probably a dozen individuals and several cells going completely unaccounted for in this country.
These are worrying times
That fellow is doing as instructed, Ludwig.

Mohammed said "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind."
// Mohammed said "None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind." //

People really should have just ignored him for the megalomaniacal loon he clearly was.
Ludwig, but if they ignore him they’ll go to hell….
Blimey, I didn't realise the common word for Hades was banned here!! Even the bible allows that!
Ooer! My starred out word has magically appeared in full. Jolly good.
Hi Naomi,

Neither did I. I've removed it from the filter.
If you'd like to hear what walking piece of human garbage, Anjem Choudary, has to say on the matter, he's been published in USA today: http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/01/07/islam-allah-muslims-shariah-anjem-choudary-editorials-debates/21417461/

(this is only surprising as USA today is the US's third largest newspaper, and usually doesn't represent the fringes)

Obviously he doesn't reflect the feeling of a normal muslim, but it's always good to hear from someone who should be wearing a very tight jacket.

Were the cartoons racist? You can see some of them here: http://gawker.com/what-is-charlie-hebdo-and-why-a-mostly-complete-histo-1677959168

I've read a little online from those saying they are, let me know what you think? Those opinions are from americans mostly, so maybe it's just a reflex? Or maybe I didn't get the cartoons?
-- answer removed --
Much has been said about the freedom of speech since this happened, in fact much was said in it's defence in a late night discussion regarding whether or not the offending cartoons should be reproduced or not.

It was said that although some may be offended by them, others should have the right to show them.

Does this "Freedom of Speech" extend to having the freedom to say and write certain words that at the moment we do not have the freedom to use?
