The public is asked to be vigilant and report suspicious activity. This reporting can be useful. Just because it isn’t ‘there will be an attack by these people at this place at this time’ is that ineffective?

In addition, if GCHQ for example discovered information on something happening in the EU, surely sharing that information with our neighbours is a good thing to do?

Parliamentary report on security implications of Brexit BTW - http://researchbriefings.files.parli...8/CBP-7798.pdf

Found the following Europol report. This is a 2017 report showing figures from 2016 and before. France, Spain and Belgium seem to be pretty good at arrests leading to conviction - https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/.../tesat2017.pdf
I didn't say the UK was ineffective, I said the EU was! Interesting how you have twisted this, however.

Really? Why do you think that all co-operation with security issues would end with our departing the EU?

Curious way of thinking...!
