3 people arrested planning to decapitate a member of the public....so we are told!

What actually is there to plan?...which knife shop to go to I suppose.

My guess is the jury will fail to reach a verdict and they will be found guilty of possessing an Ikea brochure.

Theresa May has stopped some bloke telling us how to pull a bird from entering the country but cant stop terrorists moving backwards and forwards at will!

So whats my point?

I think that the State are telling us porkies to justify policy...I think that the risk of terrorist activity in the UK is lower than some would have us believe.

 A controlling method to keep the masses in check, a tactic used since Fred Flintstones grandad - fear!

Like Ikea reference - that made me chuckle

The older I get the less I trust those in Power. The old adage that power corrupts is never more true at the top of the tree in politics.

The sooner this materialistic driven government is gone the better. Unfortunately, they will at some point be replaced by more power crazed muppets. However, they will be slightly less bias towards the rich,  slightly less partisan and paranoid and xenophobic and hopefully reverse this trend of dog eat dog and fear.

The lack of empathy that every tory government in the modern eara has shown to the real life of the people: the scare mongering, the stoking of hatred and competitiveness for the sake of material greed is unevolved and desperately sad.

To be honest I can understand why some despair.

Ye, good old fear, works every time. I have let go of my fear.
