Far-right activists banned from entering Britain

Far-right terrorism has been identified as a key threat to the safety and prosperity of the country, according to the director general of MI5, Andrew Parker, and Cressida Dick, the commissioner of the Metropolitan police.

Writing in the Times, the pair warned that while Islamist terrorism remains the largest by scale, they are also “concerned about the growing threat from other forms of violent extremism … covering a spectrum of hate-driven ideologies, including the extreme right and left.”

“Over the past few years [police] have stopped a number of rightwing terrorist attacks from getting through,” they wrote.

In the wake of the Christchurch attacks, in which 50 Muslims were killed by a suspected white supremacist, security services worldwide have refocused on the threat of far-right extremists.

Elsewhere in their article, Parker and Dick said “numerous plots” had been thwarted in the UK since terror attacks in 2017 in London and Manchester. After those attacks, the pair had commissioned Lord Anderson to write an independent review into them.

The report highlighted three key themes: the need to counter violent groups on the extreme right and left; how the security services and the police use data; and the need for intelligence sharing at local level with other organisations.

“On data, we identified ways in which advances in that field enable us to sharpen our ‘radar’ and increase insight,” they wrote. “There is no magic solution but there are valuable gains to be made by going further in data analytics and related technologies with parts of the private sector. We have made important progress already.”

The use of behavioural science will allow agencies to “detect signs of developing intent”. Allied with information-sharing across multiple agencies, including social services, “this approach to managing the risk in communities posed by individuals linked to violent extremism can succeed where a more active, intrusive investigation might not”.

Several pilot projects are already running on this model, which could soon be rolled out across the UK. It is similar to how some authorities manage sexual and violent offenders.

To liken new, far-right terrorism to western jihadism is not to make some cheap, pious rhetorical point. It is to accept the evidence of your eyes that they are, in numerous respects, the same thing from different angles. Aside from a shared obsession with medieval battles between crusaders and caliphates, as seen in a manifesto believed to have been written by the New Zealand suspect, there is also a shared loathing of functional diversity.

To be an extremist, though, is to exist in a state of delusion. Islamic State itself, indeed, was a state of delusion; a pretend world that was never going to last. White supremacists thrive in closed worlds online for the same reason that American ones dream of compounds in the middle of nowhere; because everywhere else ceaselessly proves them wrong. The far right loathes Sadiq Khan not because he’s raising the black flag of Islam over City Hall, but because he’s a daily, breathing reminder of their absurdity in suggesting he might.

Like it or not, the world’s future is diverse. Face it, all you fascists, but by the time you are shooting Jordanian Muslims in a New Zealand city called Christchurch it should be pretty damn evident that you have already lost the fight. You’re scary, and I am not afraid to admit it, but don’t ever think you will stop being ludicrous, too.

Far-right terrorism threat is growing,

A peculiar funny aside:

Yemeni scholar: “ISIS has come to implement Islam as it is, by the book, complete with slave girls, the rape”

It is very unfortunate that we want to deny… We have a huge problem and we must recognize this before [we do] anything else. We have a problem, and we must take responsibility for it before we blame others for what is happening in the world. We cannot shut our eyes and deny this. It is happening because of us. When we deny things and place the blame on others, as if we are forced to do all this and are not the reason for what is happening… We must all own up to what is happening.

If not, why post this?

I gave the answer in my post. But thanks, for asking me as an A2K-member about my reason to post!!!!

We all know how sensitive you are. My bad. Anything else?

I wonder where and when we've met,

We have not met but I recall you having a fit over being called "Wally" an acceptable nickname for Walter, for most, so that makes you sensitive and childish to me. Anything else?

to what group of "we" of A2K'ers (or other persons) you are referring that know me personally

"Wally" an acceptable nickname for Walter, for most

I explicitly didn't want you

As always pinky is full of ****, all he has is insults,

.here in America we generally call such people a$$h@l$s.
