Trump was RIGHT about the bucket bomb suspect and I suspect he’s also right about the risk of letting in poorly vetted refugees who repay Britain’s kindness with blind hate and bombings

I was walking my five-year-old daughter to school in West London on Friday morning when a series of police cars and trucks flew past at very high speed.
‘Where are they all going?’ she asked, innocently.
I pulled out my phone, checked my Twitter feed, and saw multiple reports of an ‘explosion’ on a tube train less than a mile away.
A jihadi terrorist, it would later emerge, had tried to murder hundreds of people on their morning commute.
Only through the good fortune of a malfunctioning bomb did the intended targets escape with their lives, though 25 needed hospital treatment.
How do you even try to explain this kind of thing to a five-year-old kid as she cheerfully skips her way to school?
It would be hard enough under normal circumstances, but this was the third such Islamist terror attack in London, and the fourth in Britain, in the past six months alone.
On March 22, jihadi Khalid Masood drove a car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, before stabbing a policeman to death at the entrance to Parliament. Four other people died, 50 were wounded.
On May 22, jihadi Salman Abedi blew up a bomb outside the Manchester Arena as thousands left an Ariana Grande concert. Twenty-two people were killed, including many children. Another 250 were injured, many seriously.
On June 3, three jihadis – Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba – drove into pedestrians on London Bridge, before going on a stabbing rampage at nearby Borough Market. They killed eight people and wounded 40 others.
Now we have the Parsons Green train attack, for which two young suspected jihadis are currently in police custody.
In each case, ISIS claimed responsibility, proud of the senseless slaughter wrought in their name.
My country, my little daughter’s country, is under siege from terrorists in a way we have never experienced before, even in the very darkest days of the IRA.
We’re not facing an enemy with any kind of political objective that can be negotiated, we’re dealing with a nihilistic group of despicable thugs twisting and perverting their Islamic faith to justify mass murder.
Many are living in our midst, having their brains warped by internet hate preachers who want an end to Western civilisation as we know it.
And let’s be brutally honest: it is beginning to feel seriously unnerving.
Oh, we can all talk a big, bold game about ‘never surrendering’, ‘staying strong’ and ‘being resilient’.
I applaud such a response to these gutless, barbaric cowards.
The Rest…HERE
