We need zero tolerance of terrorists and their sympathisers

from The Conservative Woman:

(In wake of the latest terror attacks in London Bridge and Borough Market, we highlight our proposals to crack down on Islamist terrorists and those who give them succour and support. With 23,000 jihadists extremists living in Britain, of which 3,000 are regarded as posing a real threat, the scale of the danger is horrendous. Further atrocities appear inevitable unless action is taken to curb the activities of suspects. It is incomprehensible that only seven of them are subject to T-PIMs, terrorism prevention and investigation measures, the watered down version of control orders – effectively a form of house arrest. TCW sends its condolences to last night’s London victims and their friends and families.)

The Manchester bombing made the exercise of writing an alternative manifesto seem almost irrelevant. Against such an atrocity, who cared about the political parties’ variously undeliverable, undesirable and uncosted promises – whether for houses, hospitals, pensions or schools – made on behalf of the State. All that mattered surely was our safety and the security of the nation. And whether either we (the people) or our political leaders had the means or determination to ensure it would never again happen. Against the backdrop of the Government’s self-evidently failed anti- terror strategy and sentimental posturing, these questions have remained in the air.

Jeremy Corbyn has made it as plain as a pikestaff where he stands on Islamist and any other sort of terrorism – with them, not against them – which came as no surprise to us at TCW. We have never been under any illusion as to his sympathies. His policy of appeasement would lead us into the valley of death.

To the faltering May campaign, Corbyn’s ‘honesty’ must have seemed a godsend. Central Office has a definitive message to pump out again: ‘Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn cannot be trusted to keep our country safe ’. They cannot indeed.

Negative campaigning this may be, but ‘negative’ has worked well in the past. And since Theresa May’s brand of ‘red Toryism’ bombed, how many choices does her election strategist have?

But can Mrs May herself be entirely trusted?
