” police officers who visit the homes of persons of interest...”

Are they now going to enter “no go zones”?

Islam is easier to defend against when it’s outside your borders, rather than within.

Disobeying an armed SAS member is not good for one’s health.

From the article:

“Most of the Special Forces will be wearing civilian clothes, while some have donned police uniforms to accompany police officers who visit the homes of persons of interest in response to intelligence leads by MI5.”

While the article is written to assure the Brits, if you look at the numbers of government personnel involved, it’s not so great in a country the size of the UK with a very large muslim population.

(Notice to the NSA, whom I’m sure is monitoring our posts: there’s a “person of interest” around the corner to the left and up two blocks that plays loud music late at night in his little red car that has a green and white crescent and star on the back under the window.)

De Niro should have been shot by the SAS for that laughable attempt to pronounce Hereford (Herr-eh-furd).
