Default Theresa May on London attacks: Enough is Enough

In response to the third attack since March, and revealing 5 other credible plots were stopped by police, British PM Theresa May establishes a multi-point plan to deal with "Islamist extremism" and "Islamist inspired terrorism".

from CBC.ca, which contains her entire speech.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/london-...-may-1.4145367

1) Turn people's minds away from violence. British, pluralistic values are superior to those espoused by the "preachers and supporters of hate"

2) Calling for a multi-national effort to end internet safe havens for hate speech and propaganda. (This one will garner a lot of attention and I suspect most of the debate will center on this point)

3) Ending the " far too much tolerance of extremism in our country.

"So we need to become far more robust in identifying it and stamping it out — across the public sector and across society. That will require some difficult and often embarrassing conversations, but the whole of our country needs to come together to take on this extremism — and we need to live our lives not in a series of separated, segregated communities but as one truly United Kingdom."

4) Reviewing the counter-terrorism resources and powers to ensure they have what they need.


As part of her conclusion she says:

""Since the emergence of the threat from Islamist-inspired terrorism, our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public. But it is time to say enough is enough. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would. Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values. But when it comes to taking on extremism and terrorism, things need to change."

Also, a Canadian was among the 7 killed yesterday.
