After last night's London Bridge attack- which is covered in GC- the Prime minister has said
"We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue as they are."
She said that we are now going to have difficult conversations. We have been too tolerant. We already have 3000 potential extremists on watch list but it looks like these attacks are on the increase.
So what sensible measures do we need to take.
I have already suggested elsewhere that Jihadists returning from an IS zone should not be allowed back. Even if they have a British passport (they should stay in Islamic State). That would have prevented the Manchester attack.
I would also ban foreign funding for mosques and madrassas, and visiting Immams.
As I said, these are going to be difficult measures, but we cannot carry on as normal when the attacks are on the increase.
