    The solution is not to ignore the isolationism, it is to deliberately stop it.
    I hope the barracks have Wi-Fi or there will be some serious whining....

    Rise above your attempt to exploit terrorism to cause division.

    Fortunately, with the exception of scooterscot, we are clever enough to see though your disgraceful anti-democratic stance and rise serenely above it.

    Completely with you, much of the cause seems to be isolation and disenfranchised we need to deal with that. The idiocy of ignoring it seems still to be the preferred choice of the NoBrain Remoaners.

    probably a bit of simple view on a complex problem but you kind of get my gist?
    Its surprising how many fantasize about what they believe they have lost. The culture they come from caused them to move across the world for a better life then they want to recreate it over here.

    I know this is awful, but when I switched on the news today I was just please it was not UK general election related.

    I must admit when the stocks story broke this morning I was very surprised. My first thought 'That is cold' unbelievable behaviour.

    It's very sad, but can we change these people?

    German police investigating a pipe bomb attack on a bus transporting the Borussia Dortmund football team to a Champions League match have detained one suspect and are searching for another, both described by prosecutors as having links to “the Islamist spectrum”.

    If you live in a sink hole estate full of drugs no police and no hope, you are an easy target for extremists. It's like the perfect recruiting ground.

    Integration is hard work, and needs money and resources. But trying to stop the radicalisation at the start has to be better than putting a SWAT team at the end of every street?
