Britain is under attack; three outrageous terror attacks in the space of two months. Yesterday, Theresa May clashed with Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, over cuts to the police force. Yes, May, when she was Home Secretary, was responsible for a cut in police numbers but also it must be remembered that it wasn't too long ago that a senior member of the Labour Party and ally of Jeremy Corbyn was calling for Special Branch and MI5 to be scrapped.

Geoff Dominy: as we are in Spain perhaps we could also mention the 192 people killed in the March 2004 atrocity in Madrid plus the survivors of same? And Belgium last year?
There has been a lot of talk about changing the laws regarding human rights. I think it is important to understand that these are extraordinary times. The most basic human right is the right to live. Anything else comes a distant second. In France, Germany and England over 200 people have been denied this right. They have been denied the right to enjoy a long life, to have families, to watch those children grow up, to see them graduate, get married, have their own children. The survivors have been left with emotional scars that will never ever heal. It is time to end political correctness because those who seek to destroy our world are making a mockery of it. Britain is not like certain countries in the world where denying certain rights will result in torture. This is the right thing to do at this particular time and if it saves one life, at the inconvenience of those who are known to the authorities and considered a threat, then it has been worth it.
Our only salvation is to apply the same measures against Moslems that they would to Christians, if day after day they were being killed by them. In other words, expulsion.
Yet again,at least two of the London terrorists were let into this country,it's time to stop allowing anyone in from Islamic counties,how many of those that we admitted as ''refugees'' will be the future terrorists.? All of those already here should be scrupulously vetted and any that there is even the slightest doubt about deported.
Not every police officer needs to be armed,armed officers just need to be quickly available. Did having armed police stop Spain,France,Germany and others with armed police forces from becoming terrorist targets.? Clearly, there will be other attacks in the UK so we must have more police,including more armed police,soldiers and specialist intelligence operators and this must be a priority for whoever wins the election.
