It's hard to ignore it now we have to have Christmas markets guarded by the bollards of peace and manned by armed police just to buy some overpriced hot chocolate and knitted goods.
This isn't just in the UK. It's all over Germany, Australia, etc. It's everywhere where these bollards are erected. Birmingham council has just put up some more diversity bollards (and I will mock them endlessly) but not named why we need them.
This is what happens when you don't protect your borders. You then have to protect everything else inside the borders which is impossible.
I'm terrified we're going to have an attack here soon. Apparently, 900 extremists are thought to be plotting potential attacks on schools and other attacks.
Yet, only a handful of MP's had the decency to sign Rupert Lowe's motion to handle the risk of Islamic extremism. A handful. It's shameful.
If an attack happens here, I'll await the usual garbage to be trotted out-"diversity is our strength," "it's part and parcel of living in a big city" (Sadiq Khan trotted that stinker out) "don't look back in anger," and "peace and love, don't let hate divide us."
Then they'll bring in completely useless restrictions on our lives which won't keep us safe but limit what we can say and what we can use to protect ourselves. Soon, they'll run clean out of ideas so they'll ban all knives, including cutlery and we'll be eating with our bare hands and driving toy cars around. Which I suppose assists with the plans for net zero. Two birds, one stone.
They'll do all that sooner than they will tackle the obvious problem. 75% of MI5's caseload is Islamic extremists. No doubt none have been deported. The Manchester Arena bomber, Abedi, was known to authorities before he attacked and he was still free to do what he did.
