Great Britain: MI5 Security Chief warns of ‘intense’ terror threat, Islamic ‘terror attacks are hatched in a matter of days now’

Just what you want to hear from the chief of MI5, the country’s Security Service, the United Kingdom’s domestic counter-intelligence and security agency and part of its intelligence machinery alongside the Secret Intelligence Service, Government. Their job was once to keep the people safe and direct national security policy to keep terror out of the country. Now their mission seems to be to prepare the people for terror, violence and murder.

Gone are the days of Winston Chuchhill, “We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender?

They’ve surrendered.

The West has completely lost its way.

Great Britain: Terror attacks are hatched in a matter of days now

By Ben Farmer, Defence Correspondent, The Telegraph, 17 October 2017:

Terror attacks cannot be completely prevented in a free society, the head of MI5 has said, as he warned plots were now harder to spot and being hatched in just days.

Andrew Parker said the country was now facing an intense threat from violent Islamist extremists who were devising plots at a tempo he had not seen before in his 34-year-career.

The director general of the Security Service made a rare public appearance to outline the severity of the threat after four jihadist attacks that have killed 36 people since March.

 A dramatic increase in the menace this year had seen attackers hatch plots in a matter of only days, he said.

Mr Parker also warned that internet firms were inadvertently helping terrorists conspire and they now had an ethical responsibility to help stop these worst excesses of criminal behaviour.

He called on tech firms to help the government tackle the “dark edges” of the online revolution, which was giving an advantage to violent extremists and enemy spies.

Mr Parker said the “dramatic upshift” in Islamist threats in 2017 meant there “is more terrorist activity coming at us more quickly and it can be harder to detect”.

Speaking in central London, he said MI5 and the police had stopped 20 plots in the past four years, including seven since March, and would “continue to find and stop most attacks”.
