| I couldn’t open the link on my phone but I will google it later on. However I totally agree with Suella Braverman’s views on the Islamist threat. She has been warning us since 2023: ‘The risk from terrorism is "rising", Home Secretary Suella Braverman has said. The cabinet minister was speaking as the government published a review of its counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST, which has been updated for the first time in five years. Ms Braverman said: "We now face a domestic terrorist threat which is less predictable, harder to detect and investigate; a persistent and evolving threat from Islamist terrorist groups overseas; and an operating environment where technology continues to provide both opportunity and risk to our counter-terrorism efforts. The CONTEST strategy has been around since 2003, and was last updated in 2018 following the five terror attacks in 2017 - which included the Manchester Arena bombing and the London Bridge attack. Since then, there have been nine terror attacks, which killed six people and injured 20 others - and a further 39 attacks were disrupted, according to the Home Office. This year's review highlights how the "primary domestic terrorist threat" comes from "Islamist terrorism. It makes up "approximately 67% of attacks since 2018, about three-quarters of MI5's caseload and 64% of those in custody for terrorism-connected offences" as of March this year. Considering that Braverman worked very closely with M15 (and M16) I trust her rather than a circle of melts from Amnesty and Hope Not Hate with clasped hands singing Kumbaya ..: |
