OK guys…………..

Election day tomorrow. For whom should I vote? I live in Bolton West, a so called “marginal” constitiuency. Choice between Conservative, Labour, Lib-Dem or UKIP. Failing these I could return my ballot paper marked “none of the above”. Only certainty is, I will attend the polling station. I have no confidence in politicians.

Can’t tell you how to vote but please read this analysis before doing so.

Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott pulled out of a BBC interview at the last minute, citing illness.

On the face of it it looks like a lot of UKIP-ers have made up their minds and most are going with May having mistaken her for a Brexiteer. This is going to make all the difference. As John implies, there are going to be some seriously disappointed folk out there in a couple of years – unless she is indeed replaced.

‘Just’ Lee Rigby? Oh, that’s all right then.

Stop misinterpreting things. Whilst sad for Lee Ridgby’s family, it was a very small attack compared to Paris, Charlie Hebdo or Manchester.

I don’t see it that way. It’s a startlingly simple choice. Labour took a surplus and turned it into a 10% deficit. The Conservatives took that 10% deficit and turned it into a 3% deficit in 6 years, even with an idiot up North running a 10% deficit. Now Labour want a second chance and are offering some horrible sums and a candidate with a history of being weak on terrorism and defence.

You also forget that ISIS and its rise in Europe is a relatively new thing and these are the only 3 serious terror attacks since 2010, other than that it was just Lee Rigby and three injuries on a tube train.

I think LRASM and JSM were two different capabilities. LRASM was high-end and JSM was more medium-end. But LRASM with its extra capabilities will cost more and if it doesn’t get any points for those added capabilities, then that makes it uncompetitive for the mid-level AShM. And taking stuff out is never efficient financially,

Just remind us Ryan, on whose watch were the errors you allude to regarding the attackers?

Talking of blinkered ideologues. I think a session in front of a mirror might be of value

or if that is’t blunt enough, it takes one to know one

On whose watch? Like there were no terror attacks before 2010. And we know which party is to blame for the whole destabilisation of Iraq and ISIS thing.

The problem is that the current system allows them to get away with too much before locking them up. The police didn’t have the power to take them off the street, that was the problem, and given that Corbyn has voted against nearly every piece of anti-terror law, the situation would only be worse if his ilk had its way.

As regards police numbers being the cause. Yeah right.

One attacker reported 3 times for terrorist views and starred in a Ch4 documentary on Jihadis in the Britain. Another attacker arrested in 2016 by Italian police going to Syria. It was entirely preventable, these men shouldn’t have still been on the streets.
