may not be a good idea.
I know this sounds bad, but maybe we should look at having a quota system to keep the number of Muslims as a percentage of the population, particularly those of middle eastern background, under 3% until we can see they can assimilate.

^ it does sound bad. How about we keep it where it is today, while being very protective and accepting of the Muslim people who are here ? Why take more, when the consequences are so clear ? Fortunately none of my children were near London Bridge tonight. Alas, other people were.

Having to eat a range of pork products for anyone identifying as Christian will be a mandatory part of the test.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Totally useless. There is a well-established doctrine (unfortunately I can't remember the name of it) allowing a true believer to break the normal rules in order to achieve a higher purpose.swoop42 wrote:Don't worry.Bucks5 wrote:They will just pretend to be good Christians to get in.

Jesuits have a similar doctrine, I think.

It's something the intelligence agencies and Liberals like Turnbull have been saying for ages, Skids. I think they know what they're talking about here. Alienation and conflict breed extremism. It's just basic human psychology.
While any suggestion of a government conspiracy is insane, I think it's at least somewhat plausible that the assailants were attempting to influence the election (and particularly the rhetoric of the incumbents). While they might not have a Trump or other right-wing extremist to get behind this time around, a victory for tougher-talking conservatives might be seen as a good result.swoop42 wrote:I love a conspiracy.
Conservatives suddenly vulnerable according to the polls and this happens.
Conspiracy or not it's fair to say they'll use it for all the political benefit they can.
P.S-Surely it's time all English police carry guns. I wouldn't do the job without one.
