The thread was discussing (lack of) intelligence. Some great insight and comments from Andy and others at the top of this thread. Intelligence is our best line of defence, and that includes front-line policing building trust in key communities. But like it or not monitoring electronic traffic of all kinds is critical, and increasingly so. It is right that we step up resources in monitoring and cyber-defence. This is where it gets political. Any MP of whatever colour contemplating voting against the Investigatory Powers Bill will have to think hard about the consequences. If we then had a repeat of the Paris atrocities on our soil there could be blood on their hands. A political Party Leader vocally opposing this bill would be even more culpable. |
