Aside from the obvious Forest Gate-esque risk that the intelligence is wrong, if it isn’t wrong, these terrorist suspects will be British-born Muslims.
So what is the solution to this danger to freedom? Many far more eloquent commentators have made their varied views clear. I will restrict my observations to the following:
Emigration is the solution — the destination is just to be decided!

I’m presuming you mean ‘emigration’
.
Another question needs to be asked, though. Who is to do the emigrating? Or is the use of that word a euphemism for ‘repatriation’ or other removal from this country of people you want rid of?
Assuming that it is yourself you refer to, though, I would estimate that no place on Earth is absolutely immune from terrorist threat – I don’t plan to make this kind of incident a deciding factor in where I choose to live, in brief
.

This kind of incident is not the deciding factor, but we must look to the future… England is not going to become safer in the future, only more dangerous.
On places to go to, that is a serious and good point. There are few countries that haven’t got some local strife or another.
Thanks for the spelling heads-up — I’ve changed it now

You seriously want to emigrate to get away from our libertarian open borders that you support??
I don’t understand.

I don’t support our Libertarian open borders — why do you keep saying that!

Hmm, wow well sorry.
I could have swore you said the ideal situation would be open borders although you wanted a slow down in the short term.
Are you serious about emigration though? I would have though not but in Holland people are leaving that country in droves because of fear of the Islamic future.

I do think, in a culturally neutral world immigration control would be wrong… But we are centuries away from that and it requires relative equality between nations.
I am serious about emigration (I still contend it should have two ‘m’s) as are most people I know of my age and attitude to life.
Islamification of England is not the sole reason but it is an extremely long-term concern…
Holland is realising the problem that we, despite suicide bombers of our own making, haven’t yet realised… Islamists (again, not Muslims, just the ones who think I’m an infidel) would be happy to see me and everyone like me dead… They’re actually worse than the BNP and there aren’t many organisations/groups in Britain that I’d say that about.

The first thing that should be done is to abolish the political correct system that our law enforcers have to adhere too along with human rights lawyers.
The government needs to look closely at who it is letting into the country, but in fairness I think it is too late in the day for that. GB Ltd is in a bad way and the politicians don’t seem to have an answer as to how to get it right!
