  Not fun to read at all Vic - but reflecting the weasel words that far too many have used in the past.
  
  Thank Christ Theresa May has just made her statement this morning and we are looking to a change in direction
  
  May says this is the third terror attack Britain has experienced in three months, after the Westminster and the Manchester Arena attacks.
  
  The police have disrupted five credible attacks since the Westminster attack, May says.
  
  The prime minister says we are seeing a new style of attack. People are copying each other.
  
  Things need to change in four important ways, she says:
  
  First, the attackers are bound together by Islamist extremism. It is an ideology that claims our values are incompatible with Islam. Defeating this is one of the great challenges of our time.
  
  It will not be defeated by the maintenance of a counter-terrorism operation. It will only be turned around by persuading people are values are better.
  
  Second, we cannot give the terrorists safe space. But that is what the internet provides.
  
  May proposes to redouble international efforts to control extremism on the internet.
  
  Third, there must be action at home.
  
  May says there is “far too much tolerance of extremism in our country”.
  
  This will require some embarrassing and difficult conversations, she says.
  
  Fourth, we need to review the counter-terrorism strategy, to ensure the police have the powers they need.
  
  May proposes to review counter-terrorism laws, and suggests longer sentences for some offences. (Guardian)
  
  
  
  It wasn't the Dunkirk Spirit that defeated the Nazis. It was flattening Dresden.
