Sir Lindsay Hoyle spoke to Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Priti Patel following the fatal stabbing of the 69-year-old MP in his Southend West constituency.
He added: 'Those people who do not share our values or share democracy, they will not win and we won't let them win. We will continue to look at security, that is ongoing and it will continue.'
Very Churchillian, Sir Lindsay, but Churchill fought to keep the Nazis from landing at Dover.
What's Border Farce doing under Priti Patel? Escorting them in by the hundreds...
Every politician is currently thought to have had a security assessment in the constituency, and they get a 'standard' package such as alarm systems, shutters, CCTV and personal alarms for staff.
However, there are concerns that most of the measures are applied to offices and homes, while surgeries often happen at churches or other buildings that might not be secure.
That sounds like a failing of security assessments then. A gap you can drive a truck through.
A senior Parliamentary source told MailOnline: 'The Commons will have a complete review again. Police need to be at surgeries. It is the only solution.'
We don't have enough police to keep our streets safe, and you want more of them standing idly by while Mrs Miggins complains about the amount of dog poo on the street outside her house?
It's not, of course, the only solution at all. And you know it.
I have no sympathy with them. They are incompetent and it is clear to all that they have no idea.
ReplyDeleteThere are now close to 100,000 illegal immigrants in the UK that have crossed the channel. Very few if any have been refused and repatriated.
ReplyDeleteLets say a very small percentage, maybe one in a thousand want to do us harm. That 100 people armed with knives could cause several deaths if they chose to move en-masse on a shopping centre.
National Security in the UK is a joke.
