this clown is fit to lead the country needs their head examined...

hed sell us down the line if given the chance...thats assuming he wasnt taken out by the miitary in a coup if they thought he was .

between him and adolf merkel they represent the biggest threat to this countrys future and its security since the second world war........only heartening thought is that the chances of him ever becoming PM are virtually nil....best place for him is down one of the drains he seems so fascinated by...what a clown he is

Jean Charles de Menezes was killed because it was thought he had a bomb in his rucksack. It contained his PE kit. Obviously there was a major cock up of intelligence and an innocent man was killed. That should never happen again.

If the exact same scenario as Paris were to visit our shores, then a tactical hit to prevent further carnage would of course be justified.

But there are risks. The Sydney seige last year resulted in the death of one hostage. She was killed by a police bullet when they stormed the cafe. The Jewish Supermarket seige in Paris ealier this year resulted in 4 dead hostages when Police raided it.

If the police end up killing more innocent people than the terrorists, is is not a good result.

[ummmm]

And on the Panorama programme tonight, Gromit, people caught up in the Paris shootings were scared they'd escaped terrorists but might be shot by the police.

It's a no win.

We can't deny the security forces the ability to deal with terrorists efficiently on the assumption that an innocent could be shot. That's ridiculous - as is Mr Corbyn.

[TWR]

00.12, take them out, they do not do it twice.

[RATTER15]

Once an armed or suspicious terrorist target is selected, shoot him dead every time!

I had hoped that Corbyn was at least referring to Menezes-type incidents, where the police clearly acted rashly with a tragic and avoidable loss of life. Apparently he meant something closer to the police attempt to free Bataclan on Friday. In the end over 80 people died there and I'm not sure it's clear yet what the order of events was, but my understanding of eyewitness accounts is that it wasn't a hostage situation but a slaughterhouse. The Police couldn't have moved in too soon, and couldn't have tried to shoot the terrorists dead too soon.

Our security services have to be given the ability to shoot terrorists dead if it's deemed necessary. That comes with the usual caveats -- last resort, public safety is paramount, etc. -- but it must be an option. Corbyn is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Bouncer, what do you want them to do?

[naomi24]

Bouncer, it's quite refreshing to discover that you don't support your leader. There's hope for you yet!

[naomi24]

Around here that's become the final croak of a poor argument. :o)

/// If a terrorist had you lined up for execution you might not like guns or feel comfortable in the presence of guns but I bet you would not call a soldier or police officer a redneck if they eliminated the terrorist and saved your neck or would you? ///

That should also be address to Corbyn, Gromit and their likes.

And I wonder if Gromit who had just been saved from being killed, he would then get up and critise the Police for carrying out a 'STATE EXECUTION' without even a prior trial at that?

[Apariah]

Typical left wing peacenick still thinking he's in the debating Society.

He'd have Izal running the Sharia Courts if he could.

They may well be open for criticism, but their alternatives (excluding UKIP), are far too frightening to comprehend.

[Gromit]

Storming the Bataclan was clearly right thing to do to prevent further loss of life, and it is hoped British Police and Security Services would do the same. I don't think it is that which Corbyn is concerned about. He is worried about a Gibralta style justice where suspects are assasinated as a preventative measure.

[Khandro]

I have learnt one or two things in the years I have been on AB and one of them (learnt from Baldric) is that there is no such thing as 'shoot to kill' or 'shoot to wound', there is only 'shoot' or 'not shoot'. I don't think Corbyn understands that.

[Apariah]

No he's not. He's a right-on peacenik.

But no doubt he will attempt to wriggle out of it with weasel words along your lines.
