Terror Alert

Should we not all have responsibility for our actions. I don't have a will to create acts of terrorism and nobody is going to persuade me otherwise. Anyone prepared to carry out these acts are responsible for their actions and should face the highest level of punishment our law can dispense. Anyone found to be encouraging others to carry out these acts IMO should be guilty of treason and the law should remove such people permanently from contact with the general public.

I dont know where these people would consider 'Home' to be, I would like it to be South Georgia!

Of course we all should take responsibility for our actions and if those actions cause harm to others and break the laws of the country then they must be punished by the laws of the country - correctly.

As opposed to statements like "Send them all back" !!
 
There are already plenty of appropriate Terrorism laws in UK that can be and have been used (and abused!) to handle both suspected terrorists and terror suspects.
 
Re: the OP West Midlands Police have said earlier tonight that they no longer believe that there was a terrorist motive to the original "threat".

Thankfully nobody made assumptions in regards who was involved.

You can't beat a good bit of scaremongering can you!

What do you mean by this?

At the time, well before Sky or the BBC had announced and picked up on it, I had received a couple of telephone calls from concerned partners who's other halves were on duty, well 1 had finished their shift 1hr before and was not allowed to leave their station and the other 1 was still on duty and was told to return to the station immediately.

It was believed at that time that a situation/incident had already happened and even a station in the West Midlands had been named, this was not "scaremongering" of any sorts and it was not until the official briefings took place across stations throughout the West Midlands and further afield that the facts were then given out about a serious threat and advice given about arriving and leaving stations in uniform.

Maybe if you had close friends or family in the police force at that time or had served in any situations when the enemy is invisible and serious specific threats are issued against them where an incident is believed to be imminent, you wouldn't sound off such a flippant comment!

I wouldn't believe a word from the West Midlands Police Force, after all they've got previous for telling lies.

So someone saying they will be kidnapping a Police Officer and killing them is not a Terrorist threat :confused:

Their own statement now states that it is not believed that there was a creditable threat, from any source , terrorist or otherwise.

Sorry if that disturbs anyone's "agenda".

No.

For example; Me a White CoE British citizen could threaten to kidnap a copper and kill him. Does this make me a Terrorist?

I thought an educated fella like you would understand this.
 
Irrespective of what the "official" statement is from the west mids old bill, it is fact that for the last month plus all police forces have been on alert for police terrorist attacks on any police force. The plod on the street have been informed on this. It is this information which has " narked" ( and I am using my words very carefully, not allowing my tyrets to kick in ) my daughter and other PC,s on the beat when being asked to patrol alone, Due to cutbacks.

in essence, plod on the street is being asked to put there safety and ours at risk to save a few quid. How's that right ?
