    a healthy debate is good, no
    There is no debate here. As with almost all of the internet, what calls itself debate is just uniformed idiots and clueless twats shouting into the void and hoping that they hear an echo of their own miserably uniformed opinions.

    They must integrate?While I agree, it does seem a shade hypocritical if you see how well the expats working for Saudi Aramco integrate. To be fair the compounds look rather nice.

    May buried herself quite happily for six years in the HO because she lacked the ambition and talent to do anything else. As a minister she is really no better than any slavish apparatchik without the emotional intelligence to understand the effect her style has had on the very department which provides the security template for our society's well-being.

    She is the one who has stripped the UKBA bare of its resources to do its job properly, reducing manpower, reducing salaries and demeaning their status to a degree they have become mere automata not permitted to use their intelligence, judgement and discretion.

    She is the stupid bitch whose inexorable throttling of policing resources across the country over six years that has had the effect of forcing commanders up and down the country to divulge that they no longer can offer a service to the community that deals with the grassroots problems of anti-social behaviour - she has closed down more police stations than any previous Home Secretary and centralised as much as possible into ghettoes of streamlined machinery that has long lost the confidence of locals and ordinary citizens alike.

    This hasn't happened because of some spontaneous inertia inflicted from the fucking planet Zog - it's as a consequence of year-upon-year cuts to budgets and manpower and fucked up policy championed by the stupid bitch May.

    Throughout the shires and provinces of middle England at any one time there are merely 3 officers to police and respond to the public's needs within a radius of 30 miles of any population centre.

    That is the fucking reality of modern day policing and security of the past six years, that is the fucking legacy of Theresa May, perhaps the most loathed and despised Home Secretary among the police in the past 100 years.

    So, PAG, in your insufferable blimpish and idiotically ignorant stupidity, please do carry on with silly illusions and daft cliches if you will, but no one who knows the truth is falling for the utter shit that Theresa May is strong and the woman for the job - she is obdurate, a little bit stupid and a bully who shrieks and squawks at her staff whenever her blinkered and narrow-minded policies inevitably fuck up.

    Still, the British are quite stupid and prefer illusions to reality so no doubt she will carry on and fuck up an entire country, never mind a mere civil service department.

    No fucking wonder the stupid cvunt has put soldiers on the street, there aren't enough coppers to do the fucking job after that sclerotic bitch has spent six fucking years stripping them of their manpower.
    May was indeed disliked by many in the Police, though the former members I'm well acquainted with don't share your views.

    Her tenure as HS saw radical changes to policing, most of which were opposed by the Police Federation. There had occurred many instances where public trust in the police had been eradicated (the Hillsborough inquiry, Steven Lawrence murder etc etc). An account of her speech to the Police Federation annual meeting in 2014:

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...deration-power

    In 2012, she oversaw the first public recruitment for MI5, whose numbers were greatly enhanced in response to the ever increasing threats of terrorist attacks. There is currently a national recruitment campaign for many more armed police officers.

    Obviously we disagree on May's strengths and capability. As ever in your posts, you only offer criticism and insults without any suggestion of betterment.

    Just a suggestion, but have you thought of at least trying to post - without the added dollop of personal abuse you tag to pretty much everything?

    Try it. Your posts may have a longer lifespan than a mayfly.

    Seeking, you seem to be incapable of posting without swearing and abusing.

    It's a pity, because your posts used to be the most interesting and enjoyable to read on the entire forum IMO, but I rarely bother these days.

    So you think more police is the solution?
    I think it is as helpful as employing more fire fighters because of an increase in fires this year instead of trying to find out why there is an increase.

    The muslim locals on the piss in the bars I use seem nicely integrated, although their penchant for dressing like American "gangstas" is rather comical.

    Not too long ago your parents had a different view of British passport holders.
    Racism doesn't come into the picture, Islamic religious bigotry does, along with heartfelt revulsion of its methodology.

    The term "British" is often misused to describe UK citizens and passport holders, who are a diverse bunch, not all of whom are British.

    The UK born, ethnic Libyan suicide bomber was a citizen of UK with a UK passport.
    He was no more British than a Frenchman. He was also an Islamic Muslim.

    If one were ethnically British, born anywhere else in the world, a native of another land, one could claim UK citizenship, right of abode in the UK and carry a UK passport, by right of descent from ethnic British parentage and/or ancestry.

    Most ethnically British people hold UK passports, some don't. Some have given up their UK passports and rights of abode in the UK.
    They are still British.

    Other ethnicities, either born in, or resident in UK, may have UK citizenship, with all its attendant rights and duties and hold UK passports
    Some may claim UK citizenship through their parents being UK citizens.

    The majority of residents of UK are native to UK, born there, ethnic British, who enjoy, celebrate and participate in the historically British traditions and ways of life that have been in existence for thousands of years, and also share in the rights and duties of UK citizenship.

    Some of those rights and duties pertaining to UK citizenship are to uphold the laws of, integrate with, participate in and cultivate a British way of life, as opposed to simple residency and right to hold a UK passport.

    A definition;
    "The adjective "British" is commonly used to refer to matters relating to the United Kingdom. The term has no definite legal connotation, but is used in law to refer to United Kingdom citizenship and matters to do with nationality.

    People of the United Kingdom use a number of different terms to describe their national identity and may identify themselves as being British; or as being English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, or Irish; or as being both."

    Policing is much more intelligence led now, principally through electronic surveillance etc, much of which is done by civilians. There's a need for specially trained officers to be able to effectively react to incidents anywhere in the country. Using your analogy of firefighting, most efforts are focused on preventing fires starting but you still need boots on the ground to put the fires out.

    Two nights ago there was Mancunian Muslim taxi drivers ferrying the injured to hospital where they were got attended to by Mancunian Muslim nurses and doctors. Mancunian Muslim owned restaurants were giving away free food. There were Mancunian Muslims members of the police and fire brigade at the scene.. There was Mancunian Muslim Ariana Grande fans lying injured...I heard a white Mancunian saying on Sky News that ''We will never let them divide us''. You see Mancunians stand together and dont give a fuck what religion someone is.

    Just to keep it all in perspective,

    Mention must be made of the Sikh taxi drivers and temples giving free rides and hospitality to anyone in need.

    Then there were the thousands of ordinary British working around the clock to save lives, British taxi drivers giving free rides, ordinary Brits donating funds, offering places to stay.

    "Several Muslim-led initiatives are raising funds.
    One effort led by non-governmental organisation Muslim Engagement and Development has raised more than £2,300.

    Dr Shazad Amin, CEO of MEND said, "It is a fundamental part of our faith to help those in need, irrespective of their background.
    MEND said it would appoint a local law or accountancy firm to handle the money and distribute to victims.

    Another fundraising campaign is being led by the British Muslim Heritage Centre, along with organisations such as the Islamic Society of Britain, and has raised more than £700 within a few hours.

    “Though this is a Muslim-led campaign, we welcome our friends of other faiths and none to also contribute,” the page reads.
    “We ask particularly that British Muslims, mosques, Imams, leaders, and groups endorse and promote this initiative.”
    The group also promised to co-ordinate with authorities to distribute the funds appropriately.

    Other fundraising efforts have seen donations pouring in, including another Just Giving page which has raised £562,000 and a GoFundMe page for Chris Parker, a homeless man who cradled a woman as she died in his arms after the explosion, has raised more than £8,000.

    Then on top of that are the taxpayer funded hospitals, ambulances, health services, fire and security services, all taking part in sorting out, cleaning up and repairing the aftermath, both human, social and material.

    IS are no more Muslim than the KKK and Westrbro Baptists are Christian.
    Are any of the listed designated terrorist groups Muslim, Islamic or thereabouts?
    If so, why do you say the IS are not Muslim, which a reasonable person might take to mean they are also not Islamic?

    Are you comfortable parroting clueless infidel Western leaders? Have you never, not even once questioned how it might be that non-Muslim politicians and journalists know more about Jihad and Islam than the Quran, Sharia, and every Islamic school of jurisprudence, which allows them to determine who is and isn't a Muslim?

    Nobody hates or blames ALL Muslims, the problem is ISLAM itself, not Muslims, or them interpreting the handbook of violence the koran in a certain way. These murderers are just carrying out Mohammad orders, that many others agree with by the way.
