Theresa May launches her 'war on terror' after Manchester attack

It was George W Bush who first used the phrase "war on terror", after the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001. It was also used by Tony Blair.

In 2005, launching an anti-terror plan a month after the 7/7 London bombings, the then prime minister said: "Let no one be in any doubt that the rules of the game are changing."

Now, in a dramatic late-night statement inside 10 Downing Street after the Manchester bomb attack, Theresa May has both declared war on terror and changed the rules of the game.

"Let no one be in any doubt that the rules of the game are changing."

Let's hope the new rules include going after a known threat whose own family reported to the police as dangerous.

I hope that happens, but I will believe it when I see it. Give it a month or two, let the clamor die down a bit, and it might be business as usual, until the next attack.
When the politicians stop pontificating about it, and actually take some action, I might believe them. Until then, they are just running their worthless pie holes.

It isn’t rocket science. The Brits have got to stop stalling on Brexit. All that’s doing is giving German bankers and elitists who are really the EU a chance to infiltrate British leadership and render the exit meaningless. Britain is already diverse, so they need to reverse the invasion to cut down on unassimilated populations. If they really wanted to save their culture and freedoms, they’d render the Chunnel impassable.

No, she’s going to luck up all the people who don’t like Muslims. Their bad thoughts are magically causing Muslims to murder little girls. /s

This article and her “actions” are all a bad joke. Raising the threat level and deploying some troops for show domestically? BFD.

Let us know when these clown leaders want to get serious about fighting terrorism.

The West must declare a war on Islam, not "terror."

But alas, it is too late for that. Our "leaders" are in collusion with Evil, and have been for years now.

Islam ... the crazy gorilla, in the room, the media, elites, democrats, most so-called leaders, many republicans and countless individuals and numerous groups of others choose to ignore and call “peaceful”. My echo of your comment SkyPilot. Well here they go again ......

I think some people will blame ‘the remainers’.

I do believe that this will fuel the Brexit folks.

I hope that the People just might start taking things in their hands, in the middle of the night.

Yep - talking tough while the blood still stains the ground and likely to revert to the “I don’t see a threat here so we won’t persecute this potential terrorist” mode in a week or so.

Britain is done. The British response is “Kill my wife, rape my daughter, slaughter my people, but PLEASE don’t call me racist, because that would be really bad!” Diversity is our strength, and our strength is our diversity, after all.

Changing the threat level to “critical” should take care of everything. /sarcasm

Suuuuuure she did. She knows damn well that she had better not anger the millions of muzzies in the UK, so the police will be arresting people who complain about muzzies.

These KILLERS are not going to EVER be impressed or persuaded by a housewife leader or yellow ribbons or candle light vigils.

They will only be persuaded when every last one of the bastards is confronted by a SAS type guy who puts a bayonet up his ass and says “get in that deportation truck”!!!!

With Liberals running U.K., maybe a nuke going off at Buckinham Palace will wake this sad country up. They are AT WAR with Islam and are confused and just want to go to their concerts.
