How many are out there in Britain applauding this terror act ?
Or indeed in Germany. How many of those indecently assaulted in public places in Germany are feeling sad and sickened, and thankful that at least they didn't lose their lives? How many of those in Germany are feeling that they will be increasingly viewed as potential terrorists?

This type of event has no boundaries or selective national discrimination. The few create an environment for the many, especially in this context. Cross border intelligence sharing, whether the UK is in the EU or not, is highly important. An Algerian or Moroccan radical with a French passport can easily enter the UK or Germany, and commit attacks. A Pakistani with a UK passport can easily travel to Hamburg/Cologne/Munich etc and rent a car to mow dow revellers at a beer festival or Christmas fair.

Co-operation and intelligence sharing, in the context of our current environment, has to be at the forefront of European and indeed global counter terrorism operations.
