Cable Forum - View Single Post - Boris Johnson: We can't rule out a Paris style attack

The UK appears to have focused its efforts on prevention rather than cure: arrest the would-be murderers before they can act.

Good work for lawyers after that, but at least the deaths are reduced or nil. But then you will have radicals imprisoned with non-radicals, not a good way to move forward to peace in the future.

As for any armed response to an attack, it'll probably be too little, too late, for many targeted, especially as they will probably be soft targets in large crowds. And Paris has just shown us that the attackers may well be waiting with suicide in mind, also with soft targets around them.

And now we have the leader of the Labour party saying he would not support a shoot-to-kill policy during a live terrorist attack.
