    I refuse to accept that Katie Hopkins can be right about anything.

    Katie Hopkins proves one thing to me: It is extremely easy to wind people up.

    Well to be fair you started the silliness.

    In before the lock. Yes, she is right!

    Did any of you read the article?

    Yes I did, and if she believes that the UK leaving the EU will make them immune from terrorist threats then she's even more deluded than I thought.

    Having control of their borders will mean a certain amount of discretion as to who enters. Non?

    Britain should be one of the countries taking in most of the refugees from the Middle East seeing as they played a huge part in destabilising the region.

    Yes Tom. But they would be very foolish not to give them the father and mother of a vetting. NB to jihadists, if your sensibilities are tender ......... do not read the above :D

    The closing of borders doesn't stop some unemployed young muslims in Birmingham from googling fertiliser and subsequently claiming to have been radicalised over the internet as an Islamic State franchise.

    7/7 and the murder of Lee Rigby were perpetrated by UK citizens, born and bred who happened to be muslims. That is the most pertinent threat. The appearance of two men in court in London today(one a Saudi) who bought firearms from London gangs in the hope of targeting soldiers or policemen in London goes to show the type of plot that is more easily carried out in the UK - a fortress relative to France and the Benelux in that it is an island - as opposed to having the lads trek up to Calais via Turkey and Lesbos.

    Katie Hopkins is a reactionary little bollocks. It is easy to do the blunt, headstrong things in the wake of the bombs in Brussels. Thankfully, governments are made up of cold, bumbling diplomats who ultimately ensure that countries behave deliberately with thoughtful, measured responses and retaliations. That is a level of sophistication the Islamic State - which is in reality an idea, the territory held by them in the middle east is merely a shop front - can never hope or desire to possess.

    They started the Syrian civil war ?

    Britain (and us, and the rest of the EU) should be taking refugees because they're here, in Greece, and they're not going anywhere. That is the reality. That and the fact that our societies are one of the few compassionate ones left anywhere.

    I presume you're talking about the leverage that got the Third Reich to it's dizzy heights?

    If the allies had acted earlier - and they had plenty of time to mull over things - Hitler would not have caused the carnage that cowardly pussyfooting led to.
    Perhaps you, and your ilk, think this is totally wrong thinking?

    Probably need to start with something a bit better than Katie Hopkins daily mail article. She has been wrong the other 99 times and has proven to be an idiot, now though she is suddenly right?

    She is the only one making sense of this abomination of 'love migrants till they blow you up scenario'. Governments of the EU and ours cannot be more brain-dead in regards to the seriousness of allowing all migrants into a state.

    She is dead right in what she said imo.

    Time to get out of the other abomination called the EU.

    I honestly have no idea of the point you're trying to make. I imagine you're inadvertently replied to me when you wanted someone else, or you're posting in the wrong thread.

    The one I'm trying to make is that what Katie Hopkins is suggesting is reactionary, useless in combating the real threat of domestic terrorism and playing into the IS' hands.

    When Katie comes out with next weeks article calling for the internment of muslims in the UK, will you dance along accordingly? Or just reply hitler something something ....

    It's fairly simple English. What don't you understand? Are you discussing this thread or something that you think will occur in the future?

    We're not in Schengen but we'll be fecked if we let the facts get in the way of a good bit of Brussels bashing...

    Every time one of these attacks happens, every time the wave of apologism follows, every time the status quo trundles on, I look at people like Katie Hopkins or Donald Trump with just a little less contempt, a little less horror, a contempt and horror that I instead feel for many of those supposedly august individuals who presently lead or would purport to lead our countries. I only hope that some change comes before enough of these attacks happen to make me not care so long as there are results.

    I have literally no idea what your above post means. This one. In the context of what I said. What is your point?

    Whats Katie saying then? UK leaves EU, then builds huge wall around Britain (she did mention Trump after all). As for the military option, would around 40 nukes in the 5 to 10 KT range do the job?

    Yeah, we're gonna build a wall and have the IS state pay for it.


    And then bomb their families. And make them pay for it.

    So now today we have many more armed gardai on the way to patrol Dublin airport. In 2 weeks time these armed gardai will leave again when it all quietens down again, and then another suicide bomber/bombers will attack somewhere close again or even here as it's very likely to happen considering all of Europe is at risk.

    But we continue to keep letting them all in.

    Merkel tells us we have to take a certain amount in and the Irish government jumps and says yes, we'll take more without the consent of Irish citizens. Schengen or no Schengen.
