From the 20/4/2016..........................I know you are a bit slow but do at least try and keep within a calendar year of the rest of us!

Seems fair enough. Anyone who actually wants to enter the UK now must be up to no good.

What about this one:

This is the reality of Theresa May's record on terror as Home Secretary | The Independent

"According to latest Home Office figures, the number of police in England and Wales fell by 18,991, or 13 per cent, between September 2010 and September 2016, when it stood at 122,859.

Within that, the number of authorised firearms officers dropped from 6,976 in March 2010 to 5,639 in March 2016"

My point is that she's responsible for cuts in security

So you're saying that this was before the Italian-Moroccan terrorist, who was on the EU watchlist, entered the UK, so it doesn't count?

No, that is not what I am saying as well you know.

The fact that this incident was resolved in 8 minutes points strongly to the fact that our front-line response capability has not been undermined.

They were flagged to police before the attack, maybe cuts to police meant that the resources were not available to assess the risk and prevent the attack in the first place.

Theresa May reduces border security budget

Border security isn't important, after all Brexit was nothing about having control over our borders or anything like that, so cuts to border security must be encouraged :

Shame that some on here think it's a good idea to reduce security and make sure that terrorists are free to enter the country when they want.

Once they are in the country, they are then better off with the reduced police force that the former Home Secretary pushed through, again, people voting for her are saying they are happy with that.

It is only due to the hard work of the over-stretched, under-resourced police that more people were not killed. The current government should not be praised for anything relating to great performance of the police.
