    Yes you need be active not reactive but you can't spend time, money on resources on something that has very little chance of happeneing.

    It's one of those things that would be nice to have but isn't feasible because it would more than likely be a gigantic waste.

    In a ideal world yes, but our world is changing and its changing fast, imho we should be ahead of the game, not playing catch up

    Charge him with inciting terrorism, supporting a known terrorist group etc. and bang him up.

    Alternatively stand idly by mumbling about human rights.

    What do you even mean by that? It's just a load of buzz words. We are statistically living in the safest and most peaceful time to be alive and you want soldiers patrolling melton Mowbray, why?

    Whilst I agree something needs to be done about stuff like that, it is a slippery slope with regards to free speech etc. Why aren't these people being more closely monitored? We knew he was a threat we didn't need an excuse to bang him up for waving a flag just watch him like a hawk and lock him up for conspiring to commit an attack. He had 2 pals in on it so how hard is that to track?

    Re: Arm our officers

    just watching my local news ( in the west county ) and Martin Surl ( Gloucester police and crime commissioner ) was just asked about the response time for incidents in the region (Avon & Somerset, Glos, Wilts ) the interviewer mentioned the area being maybe a " soft target " and was pushing for any idea of the response time ( with Saturdays London attack being 8 mins ) Martin Surl just kept on saying they had a plan in place, he couldnt comment on the response time, and you can draw your own conclusions

    maybe it isnt just me who is slightly concerned about life outside the big cities

    So they've already considered this then, who'd have thought Matt wasn't the first person to consider response times in non urban areas.

    Looks like they've thought of a way without arming every Bobby on the beat too.

    you did read my post didnt you ? ? ?

    London = 8 mins ( on Saturday )
    Avon & Somerset, Glos, Wilts = Much Longer, 30 mins plus

    which is exactly my point, Not sure they can do a 45 - 50 min trip in under 30 mins

    We could lock him up for waving a flag thereby making him an amazing recruitment tool for IS.
