WHATEVER the rights and wrongs of UK foreign policy we must face the fact that we are in a state of low level war and the immediate enemy are terrorists, some of whom have been bought up here.
Their immediate tactic is to spread fear and chaos but the long term strategy is to install an Islamic caliphate somewhere in Europe. There is no way to negotiate with them as their aim is not territory; this is a battle of minds and they simply wish to impose their beliefs and way of life by obliterating our culture.
There are no rules of engagement here and our security services should be allowed to use whatever means are required to protect everyone here in the UK.
Quite what we do in the long term is a real worry as we seem to have been bequeathed an insoluble problem caused by unplanned immigration.
