@Adi_Schwartz@Ed_Miliband is a clueless fool or evil opportunist . Fatah don’t want 2 states. Hamas don’t want 2 states. Most devout followers of Islam don’t want 2 states; just the obliteration of the Jews.
I spent over two decades in counterterrorism and I’m still involved in many ways, so here are my views on what I see has happened over the past 24-36 hours in the UK:
Five British men in their twenties were arrested on Sunday near RAF Fairford on suspicion of explosives offences and the preparation of a terrorist act. On Monday they were released on police bail.
That’s not what the terrorism clock looks like when the investigators are still in charge of it.
Under ordinary UK criminal law a suspect can be held for 24 hours, stretched to 36 by a superintendent, and to 96 hours by a magistrate.
But under section 41 of the Terrorism Act the first hold is 48 hours, not 24 hours. A judge can then extend it, in stages, up to 14 days without a charge. If the case merits it, it can even be pushed to 28 days. That 14-day cap exists for exactly this kind of file of vans, an airbase the United States uses, a possible foreign hand, explosives (if there were any) and interviews that are not finished on the first night.
Counter-terrorism police said the inquiry isn’t over. They said conditions apply. They said a state link has not been ruled out. Those sentences he said only make sense if the evidence trail was still live. A live trail is why Parliament built the two-week window.
But watching the guy read out the statement showed me in his body language, tone and eye movements that releasing those five men was NOT his or his department’s decision.
Walking five men after roughly a day is what you do with a pub fight, not with a suspected terrorist attack on a bomber base.
I’ve sat in enough interrogation rooms to know the difference between a custody clock and a political ceiling. Nobody had to shout an order down a phone. Someone in the political building above the investigators decided that charging British nationals on Monday, with Iran already denying it, Washington watching the runway, and a Labour conference where the main topics of discussion were prioritizing Palestinian and other refugees settling in the UK, was uglier than bail and a holding statement.
The law allowed them to keep the door shut. Yet the door opened anyway in half of the most minimum time.
That’s the story. That for me is the only story here. Not “they were innocent.” Not “the case collapsed.” The statute was not exhausted, but the appetite was.
The real question is who, and most importantly, why?
🚨 WOW!! Argentina President Javier Milei just walked up to the mic at the United Nations and RIPPED THEM TO THEIR FACES
"It's become a USELESS organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatefully arrogant PARASITES masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats!" 🔥🔥🔥
"The alleged 'defenders of human rights' have sheltered bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets!"
"Good people do not think about controlling the lives of their fellow human beings."
"Those who were supposed to guarantee collective security and human rights failed in their task. Instead, they allowed chaos, violence and international terrorism to flourish."
YOU ARE A LEGEND, @JMilei 👏🏻
Seems like President Trump and Milei both had the BEST speeches at the UN. Pure nationalist first, globalist last
The UN is filled with hypocrites who cozy up to Islamism and 3rd world mass migration, while attacking the nations who want to retain their own borders and their national interests
Those days are over. MAGA! 🇺🇸🇦🇷
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Donald Trump at the UN just demanded the IMMEDIATE resignation of globalist International Criminal Court (ICC) members
Then he CALLED OUT the globalists for ignoring the persecution of Christians
I VOTED FOR THIS.
"I mean, Christians are being persecuted all over the world. It's not even believable. I never thought I'd say it, but it's been happening for a long time. So this is persecution of Christians who are the crimes of the world's most repressive regimes. Yet, they want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from world's most dangerous places."
"I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately."
"We will NEVER allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us, or an evil group of people."
"It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN's top human rights officials spend their time criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilization and transgender insanity and enforcing our immigration laws."
One of his best moments ever.
Dear Angela, @AngelaRayner
You tried to cancel the local elections in May because you knew Labour would get a kicking.
@reformUk threatened to take you to court so the elections went ahead.
Labour got a kicking.
Now, you’re threatening to retrospectively ban major donations to Reform. Even though Labour get millions from trade unionists, half of whom are probably Reform voters.
You’re terrified because Labour are going to get a kicking in 2029. You’ll lose your seat, Ange!
Be honest, what you’d really like is to ban Reform. Because this democracy thing is a bit of a ‘mare, isn’t it.
Do you have any idea how corrupt you look?
Here’s looking forward to the May 2027 elections. Labour will get a kicking.
The grooming gangs committed the most horrific crimes in living memory.
But they couldn't have operated without local councillors and council officials, who aided that abuse, turned a blind eye, or facilitated the cover-up.
Victims and the public deserve the whole truth.
Islamic "scholar" Dr. Shabir Ally says: “A Muslim man can have 4 wives and an unlimited number of female sex slaves...The four wives are also slaves, but with higher status.”
Saying these things in Canada BTW.
Deport.
A reminder UK Muslims are 6.5% of our population but are responsible for
97% of terror deaths since 2000
75% on MI5's terror watch list
75% of terror threats
84% of child gang rapes
18% of prisoners
6000 FGMs a year
2.0x birth defect rate
48.6% of 16-64 not employed
27% in social housing
Is this tolerable?
