on locations suspected of supporting or promoting terror.
Now here's the thing. You don't suddenly find 168 locations you need to get warrants to raid. The police and security services already had to be monitoring these locations but clearly felt they could not raid them because of the reaction of the public and the government. Just like the UK the EU disease of "Discrimination against the indigenous" has swept France as much as it has swept the UK. It has taken the destruction or serious harm to the lives of nearly 450 people before the state has chosen to act.
The one question I do not expect to be asked is why the security services did not act before this. Why terrorists were allowed to build up caches of explosives, pistols, assault rifles and, in one case, a rocket propelled grenade.
Do we need 500 people in the UK maimed and killed before we raid the homes of those sponsoring terror against the UK? Before we can dismiss the shouts of Racism and Bigotry from all the pressure groups.
The French government is now talking about closing down Mosques where radicalisation is being carried out. Prior to the Paris Attacks the EU ministers would have been aghast, today I expect little more than pitiful mewling noises....
We are the architects of our own destruction. We have the information, we have the knowledge, we have the capability, we choose not to act.
