While this is moving in the right direction, and interviewing people for their reason for renting is good too, people with a mission will steal a van if they cannot rent one. This kind of control is a start but not the end point.

However, one thing that would work (idea from Gutfeld’s show): When caught, all property is forfeit and all family members are deported (or arrested if charges can be brought). We need to hurt them and this is something that would be effective.

“Vehicle control will not stop terrorism.”

Once you outlaw vehicles, only the outlaws will have vehicles.

British drivers will face extra checks when renting cars and vans to ensure they are not extremists in the wake of a string of deadly terror attacks using vehicles.

If people who run car rental businesses can identify terrorists they should be paid more... and moved into intelligence services.

If some bureaucratic system can identify terrorists that system should call the cops and have identified terrorists kicked OUT OF THE COUNTRY - - NOT JUST STOP THEM FROM RENTING A VAN.

Indeed all one has to do to rent a van find a stoner or wino to rent it.

Sounds like some major profiling...about time.

You can't do this effectively without profiling, and certainly not with Holder/Obama "equal outcome" policies. They'll be screaming "discrimination" in a couple of months.

More cart before the horse crap.

Why don’t you STOP letting these filthy savages into your country?

Sheesh, it’s not that hard to understand. Stop the problem at the source. All Muslim immigration or refugees should have been banned after 9/11.


If their goal is control, terrorism helps them achieve that goal.

They are already in the country - British Empire and all that. Each one already in the UK then starts work on bringing the whole extended family in as well.

THAT’ll stop the murders by m*slims using vehicles to kill humans. It’s those WHITE vans that do it. No more white vans! black or brown vans only.

Just make bacon consumption one of the vehicle rental terms. Muzzies can’t eat it and real people would be stoked about snacking on some deliciousness.

It’s about time we close the Car Show Loophole here in the former Republic of the U.S. of A.

Get Senators McPain and Chuck the Schmuck right on it.
If it saves just one SJW, it’s worth it.

The Terrorists will probably get one from the guy living in his Van down by the River.

Moslems will just kill a driver and steal his truck. Just like in Germany. Not hard for even a moslem to do.

Because moderate Muslims are moderate.

A radical moslem wants to cut your head off. A moderate moslem wants the radical moslem to cut your head off.

Next they’ll require all self driving cars with remote control capability.
