A Strategy of Tension Pt 2- Conditioning

Video Transcript:

Music Music Music Music Music To be expected for quite a long time, it's amazing that there haven't been more attacks on one of the really interesting servers as well as we do a good job. It's about where I'm saying it, because this attacks happen on myself, you don't harden yourself to it, but it's just one of these you almost expect to, you know, and you use this. I've been quite shaky because we're quite close, just over the river there, but it will spam to happen at some stage I feel. My grandparents, you know, remember the war, they took that war, and there's a kind of stoicism. I mean, maybe it's sad that we almost expect this to happen. I'm feeling okay, I think, you know, you're going to be in danger wherever you go. Many of the tourists I've seen, some from South Korea, some from Spain, surprisingly indicated that they weren't frightened by the events. They were obviously saddened, but a sense that they had become used to this sort of thing now. It is something at the bottom of my mind, yes, it's going to be, I'm working up here, whether they're up and again, but fingers no one, but you don't know, you know. But life's got to go on, no. Life's got to go on. So we'll get used to it a little bit around here, you know, it's always things happening, but it wasn't lovely, you know, it was straight outside our window and it was very horrible. Always on our minds that this could happen, and it's happening across Europe, and who it is happening in London, and I'm sorry, Parliament. Do you think about not coming? Oh, definitely not, no. No, nothing was going to stop us coming. Does it matter where you are if your numbers up, your numbers up, so... Business is usual. Nothing's going to put you off being in London today. No! People must know that it's going to be coming, but you know, it's just carry on, it's normal. Life has to go on. And life is going on, although perhaps today, people are holding on to those they love, a little more title. I mean, it's terrible. People have died, it's a nightmare, but I've lived in London for six years and you don't really think about it, you sort of become, you know, sort of expect on a daily basis. I think probably it's a suspecting that it will happen some of the later months. Do you feel safe here at the event today? I've probably seen it as I've heard it before, I've said London will be a target for terrorists, because it just gets very... It's a good highlight for them to get terrorists to be back in London, so I trust the London police and I trust England that it's not. It's going to, it's going to, it's going to, who knows how many previous times they've stopped me, with the middle national order. Three hours after the attack, people headed to the stations for the journey home. The routine slightly nervous, the routine. I think it's a bit, um, anxious, yes. I'm surprised by the lack of security around this general area, but I'm, I'd like to see some tricks that I've done, I'm a little bit sick, just for the nervous attitude. Many remets were on holiday, some from parts of the world where these kinds of horrors happen all too frequently. We are from Israel, and we are pretty regular or used for tele-attacks, so... It's, it's sad, but it's, it's sad, but we live it every day. The children's thoughts, including 14-year-old Esteban, are with the three French students who were hurt yesterday. I think bad, I think that, for the victim. And, uh, I'm scared. I'm scared. How safe do you feel? Well, you don't feel safe, um, with what's been going on the last month or so has been quite tough for us all. I mean, I'm pretty horrified, I mean, I'd be living on the corner here and, uh, before... I'm expected in a way, but I suppose we've all been killed to expect new things, so, uh... You can't know who you are, so you've just got to go out and get on. You can go. God's a carry on. Oh, yeah. You can't let them beat us. We're old enough to. Yes. We were in the war. Nearly. The main purpose of the flowers is to remember my friend who, uh, is luckily alive. We've had our time before. I think we'll have it again. I've been down to this side. It's time, I think, of being... ...and having more of it. It's that kind of world we live. No, I'm really expecting this. I think I've never been told that I've been told for ages, I've won't. I don't know if I can feel relief yet. I'm still sad. Still walking across here. It's just... ...a... ...quite hard, that she didn't realise it would be. I can't expect this thing to happen to you. So when it does you get this incredible feeling of vulnerability and... ...and fear. To see the images afterwards of everybody laying prone on the... ...painment was awful. Absolutely dreadful. We're obviously going to finish work around five, half five, six o'clock. So the crowds will build up. I can see it now at the moment, um, gather their lighting candles over here. Um, so... ...it's not going through the crowds. It's not going through the crowds. So it's picking up, because it was obviously only in a... ...today. Um, and we had, of the top murals and people with chalk. And now we see that there's sand and people lighting candles. And that's here at the left-hand side of Travali Square. But it's also at the right-hand side. And we expect more in the next 10 or 15 minutes. And it is a case of people finding out about this on social media on the news... ...and then coming to the square to pay respects to the victims. So people have come here to pay their respects. To remember the victims of yesterday's terror attack. And we had four people died tragically. And 40 people have been injured in this terror attack. Uh, what's the mood where you are? Well indeed, yes, there were three key speakers. There were Saddi Khan, who is the mayor of London. Amber Rudd, who is the home secretary. And also the acting police commissioner Craig Mackie. And we all spoke on similar themes really. Speaking of the need to overcome hatred to come together. Saddi Khan, the London mayor, saying that Londoners will not be cowed by incidents like this. However, the uh, the visual here, the candle lighting ceremony, and the various speeches by those three key dignitaries, hasn't been massively well attended. I would say that in total, excluding the very many journalists who are here, there are perhaps a thousand people gathered. The Ladies and gentlemen, Craig Mackie, the acting Metropolitan Police Commissioner. Thank you for coming here tonight to show the true nature of our city. Yesterday's events were truly terrible. Three people were taken from us. Many more were gravely injured, and all of us have been deeply affected by what has happened. And all of us have been deeply affected by what has happened. Ladies and gentlemen, the home secretary, the right honorable Amber Rudd MP. I'd like to start by saying thank you and paying tribute to the officer that lost his life, Keith Palmer. I know we will all be thinking about his friends and his family. He was courageous, he was brave, and he was also doing his duty. And he is not alone in doing that. I know that all officers of the men are like that. I know that all officers of the men are like that. In my experience, so are all policemen. In my experience, so are all policemen. And I want us to say thank you to them all. And I want us to say thank you to them all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. For their great sacrifice and risks that they take to keep us safe, they and the emergency services. It reminds us all how we are all so connected. It reminds us all how we are all so connected. At its height over 40 appliances and over 250 firefighters were tackling what was a significant and serious fire. It reminds us all how we are all so connected, particularly when the random victims on the bridge of different nationalities, tourists going about their business, also moved down in a terrible way, also moved down in a terrible way. But they will not win. We are all connected. And today we showed that by coming together, by going to work, by going to work, going to work, going to work. Going to work. Going to work. Going to work. Going to work. Going to work. Our normal business, our normal business, because the terrorists will not defeat us. We will defeat them. We are strong in our values and proud of our country. This is our land, a land of peace, to plentiful, a land of harmony and hope. This is our land. Ladies and gentlemen, the Mayor of London, Zidic Khan. We come together as Londoners tonight to remember those who have lost their lives and all those affected by the horrific attack yesterday. But also to send a clear message. Londoners will never be cowed by terrorism. Those evil and twisted individuals who try to destroy our shared way of life will never succeed and we condemn them. And this is a time to express our gratitude to the heroism of our police officers and emergency services, to the people who have been around towards danger. And with Londoners' face, adversity, we always call together. Our response to this attack on our city, to this attack on our way of life, to this attack on our shared values shows the world what it means to be a Londoner. The end of the day. I know this is going to see us. Terrorism has touched both my family and the Middle East and it's touching me here where I live. And I think people don't realise that Muslims are scared twice over if not just one time. And it's just ridiculous. And it's just... It is so... ...deck... ...mood... ...about two or three times, rather than one of our own pain. Do you go to art school but still run out of pain? The end of the day. The end of the day. This is my friend's son. And like a thread, he's my secret. On ending long, amazing days. Mind Control. The secret UK government blueprints, shaping post-terror planning. After the 2017 London Bridge attack, local officials were told, saying, you are 100 demands. Our hashtags, visuals and flowers, I used to steer the public toward grief instead of anger. The British government has prepared a terrorist incident by pre-planning social media campaigns that are designed to appear to be a spontaneous public response to attacks. Hashtag's are carefully tested before attacks happen. The British government has selected and impromptu street posters are printed. In operations, contingency plan is term controlled spontaneity. Politicians, statements, visuals and interfaith events are also negotiated and planned in readiness of any terrorist attack. The campaigns have been deployed during every terrorist incident in recent years, including 2017 London Bridge attack. And the Finnsbury Park Mosca attack. With the hours of an attack, other campaigns are swiftly organised with by-heart posters being designed and distributed, and the plans drawn up for the people to hand out flowers at the scene of the crime in apparently unpronctive gestures of love and support. Solidarity, humanity and a deep concern for lives lost so much has changed for Londoners, and yet seeing its resilience again today, it's clear so much remains the same. The purpose of the operations, according to a number of people involved in their creation, is to shape public responses, encouraging individuals to focus on empathy for the victims and a sense of unity of strangers, rather than reacting, violence or anger. Many of the operations are said to be modelled on extensive plans that would draw up in the UK to channel anger in the wake of any attack from the 2012 London Olympics. The measures drawn up in involves of the Olympics were intended to corral the Princess Diana S. Gleaf, that was expected to emerge after any mass casualty attack, a reference to the public mourning that followed the death of Princess Diana in a car crash in 1997. This person describes those measures candidly as an attempt at mind control. The management of the secret hidden emergency planning work behind the Olympics became the social control that we would fall back on if we had any terrorist attack, or if we had any disruption. It's this is the hashtag we go to and we've never come back from those days. This job has changed significantly from planning for organic people responses to tragedy to being told we would like the people to do that, how do we get them there? A lot of the public's responses are spontaneous, of course, but a lot of shaped the government doesn't want its spontaneity, it wants controlled spontaneity. As long as we get together, the fear that these people are trying to cause can never come across. Officials at the Home Office in particular are said to have been impressed by football fans' demonstration of support for a Premier League player, at Greece Mumber, after he's suffered the Cardiac arrest and clats on the pitch in March 2012. Four months before the start of the Olympics, at subsequent matches fans of many different clubs hold up placards and banners, airing messages of support mumble. Middle East I understand that during subsequent contingency planning meetings, Home Officials suggested that replicating such a response could assist the recovery process after any terrorist attack and result in the Olympic Games continuing. When CNN tried to pass off a demonstration in London as a spontaneous event that their cameras happened upon, it was a citizen journalist who captured the behind-the-scenes footage showing that the protest was a carefully staged event, including the reporter and crew telling people where and how to line up for maximum effect. Forty-year-old Stephen was on a day trip to London when he was caught up in the Westminster attack. He has multiple injuries that require surgery. It's a bit of a day, isn't it? Oh, that's a birthday. Do you remember anything that happened? I would swing the shots. That's real. Yeah. That's real. Yeah. Yeah. And then we left the aquarium. What are the aquariums? Oh, it's a little closer. To the wrong place at the wrong place. To the wrong place at the wrong place. To the wrong place at the wrong place. Hear that people are celebrating such a wonderful life event as their anniversary and to be lost. Our hearts go up to them and we really feel badly. Kirk Cochrane was in London to celebrate his 25th wedding anniversary. His wife is injured but survived. His death was announced today. One man carrying a picture of Kirk Cochrane and the other victims on his back. I like Posse on my condolences to family. You know, I'm very sorry for what this guy did to their family and the torment and anguish that they've been in right now. Patrick Johnson is just one of several with messages for the Cochrane family who tonight are in London as Kirk's wife Melissa continues to recover. This is one of the great selfie spots in the whole of London. There's a group of people here amongst them, a young Romanian architect, so woman calls Andrea Cristier. She's with her bloke in London. It's his birthday. That's real. Yeah. Yesterday, four to three, and it was very exciting. And that was really, really, extremely, very exciting and it was quite surreal. And it was like there was nothing yet, so both individual events going on. It seemed to be a new color here and see. It's only today that I've seen the news. I've listened to the radio and I understand that it's a very interesting thing. It seemed to be a new color here and see. It's only today that I've seen the news. I've listened to the radio and I understand that what I was walking past wasn't casual to us. Or living casual to us. And actually people would have been clear to us. Must have been a massive shock to find out. Yes. Yes. I was in shock when I found out that. I was in shock when I found out that the guy living next to me murdered innocent people. Must have been a massive shock to find out. Yes. Yes. I was in shock. This will be a shock for everybody involved. Hello, shocking. Looked around me and up in shock. It was just, you know, a complete shock. That was quite shocking. My standards too shocked. And he would come off because we're working very short. Surrounded by shocked by standards. An extreme shock. Well, I looked into it and I was shocked. The mood here, Ali, is one of shock. Now I think more people are just in shock. It was all here, real shock. And you must have been shocked. Very shocked. Very shocked. The deadly attack hitting close to home, shocking travelers. It was a shock. It was quite a sense of shock. I think most people are very shocked. Shocking in any city. But it's still shocking. I was very, very shocked. Shocking. And I think that's a bit of shock. So two ladies crying. They were running back this way. They were shocked about the incident that happened. You just have a complete sense of shock. And indeed that was the shocking scene that we saw in London. It's just shocking. Just shocking. Yesterday's attack was shocking. So I was actually really shocked. He'd only been there 10 months. And that in itself is shocking. I can't really do. I was just in shock. Just in shock. Yeah. Florescent flashes and wailing sirens. Remind those who are in London in 2005. Of the aftermath of 7-7. Extra police patrol. Some with guns. The van goes round twice. Everybody needs to go about their lives as they normally would. Our society should continue to function in accordance with our values. If today's attack was born of a terrorist ideology which makes targets of ordinary people, targets of ordinary people, then tonight there is a response, a way of life which bustles on, barely interrupted. I don't think there's a time to be scared right now. I think it's a time to bend together as people and not change anything that we're doing and not let terror take control of our lives. Yeah, I was here one morning, here today. Yes, it's... Yeah, it's me. You've got to be normal. Do the same as you always do. Don't be afraid of it, anything. If you can't go out and carry on enjoying your life, then they've won. So that's how I feel about it. Basically, I'm an expat lander. I'll graph in Battersea. I live in Kent now. Today's a long planned visit and I don't see why the hell the bugger should put me up. So I'm going to get on with my life and do what I want to do. We've just been to changing the guards. There's loads of people there. And that's what London thrives on. People coming out and if we close the streets, then they've won. Have a day. They've got what they wanted, which is to stop people going out and enjoying their lives. And there's a mixture of anger and sadness, but also courage and defiance. They have to get back to work. They have to carry on with their ordinary lives. It's a strange mixture of emotion. And when I suppose, we'll have to start getting used to. We'll have to start getting used to. It just makes me more determined that these awful people aren't going to get away with it. Why should we stop out living our lives the way we do for these nutters? I think everyone just carries on as normal because that's all you can do, isn't it, really? And is it important for you to just carry on? Yes, because otherwise you just let everyone win all the time, don't you? If you give in, then they win. So you're not going to change anything in the light of what happened yesterday? No, no. There's no need to. I think we should be effective. We should just go on with our lives as a retreat, the most said. You know, if anyone can select us, what we think is right, and the path that we want to go on is... I'll keep on wanting that you. I'll keep on wanting that you. As the appalling events in Paris were unfolding, this house was debating the Government's counterterrorism and security bill and the threat level in the United Kingdom, which is set by the independent joint terrorism analysis centre and remains at severe. This means that a terrorist attack in our country is highly likely and could occur without warning. So I also said that the matrix system of threat assessment and my first degree as statistics was a ludicrous attempt by the Government, National Police Improvement Agency, to almost mind control and dumb down thinking in telekriminal intelligence analysis thinking, on looking at threat, why would they do that? Well, the construct that they had within the matrix was artificial and deliberately heightened the fear coming from Islam extremism and a terrorist attack. So J-TAC, joint terrorist analysis centre, always put out the threat levels as almost imminent, high or severe. Now, in a crude scoring system, that had to be transferred locally, irrespective of what intelligence you had locally, and potentially the harm a terrorist could do. Well, how far will the imagination stretch? I suspect the Government will be taking advice from the Government's security advisers who give independent advice about the security situation. They talk to the police and the security services, they then decide what the Government or what they advise the Government to do, and then the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary decide whether then to increase the threat level. And the threat level in the United Kingdom, which is set by the independent joint terrorism analysis centre. And then the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary decide whether then to increase the threat level. I'm joined by Security, Alice and Executive Director of the Henry Jackson Society, Dr. Alan Mendoza. Good morning to you, Dr. Mendoza. You've carried out analysis of information that came out of the attack in Westminster. Talk us through your findings. Well, I think it's broadened that. What you're looking at is in Western countries in the past few years, looking at the types of attack that have occurred. And what we found as it in 2016 was the hit killer attack scene, or attacks using a vehicle to kill civilians, were around 7.6%. They rose dramatically the year after 2017 to about 20.4% of all attacks in Western countries. Now, that's a huge increase, obviously, and I think reflect the ease of ability of getting hold of a vehicle as a method of attack as opposed to some of the more sophisticated things we've seen in the past. Yeah, it does seem that those who want to carry out these kind of attacks are going for the low-tech options. It's a low-tech option. It's the easy to access option. It's also very difficult to stop option because at the end of the day you can just have somebody it would appear who can just get up one morning, go and stake out something, and then attack rather than having to plan a whole bombing campaign. It's interesting, isn't it? The House of the Parliament won the most protected sites in the world. They're set up for this kind of thing. You can see the barrier is there, and police on the scene within minutes. There is now a debate about pedestrianizing rows in front of Parliament and other high-profile sites in the country, those that may be the target for terror. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think it's summed up by one of the news headlines you just showed a moment ago. We can't let them win. If we allow our cities to be pedestrianized, if we allow them to dictate the way that our cities are used, then haven't terrorists won in that way? So obviously, democratic institutional like Parliament goes to the heart of what this country is about. And that is why obviously it's always going to be a target. At the same time, you'll note about the preparedness that is key here. It is really true that where this has happened somewhere else, the police would probably not have been there in the same amount of time, simply because they're not ready for it. So there is this very dangerous game you've got to play between. Do in a sense you recognize there will be high-profile targets, and then you prepare for that, and you respond really quickly. Or you try and display that activity somewhere else, and it could be much, much worse. I think it's worth seeing in some of the other cases we've seen on the continent with guns and things, that the more minutes it takes to get to the scene of the crime, the more people who die. Thank you. Despite increases in the number of murders committed by terrorism recently has, especially a series of horrible attacks in 2017 that murdered 42 people, the long-run trend is a decline in the number of people murdered by terrorists in the United Kingdom. From 1975 through to August 15th 2018, a British persons chance of being murdered in the terrorist attack on British soil was about 1.1 million per year. But that annual chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack obscures big shifts over time. Of the last decade, the annual chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack on British soil was about 1.11.4 million per year. For a lower than the entire 1975 to 2018 period, the annual chance of being injured over the entire time was 1.496.464 per year, but only 1.4 million per year over the decade. Figure 3 means that the chance of a British person being murdered in a terrorist attack was 1 in 63 million 280,444 that year. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, so far, the annual chance of being murdered in a terrorist attack was about 1 in 7.3 million per year, 1 in 1.8 million per year, and 0 so far respectively. These above figures show that the chance of dying or being injured in a terrorist attack in the United Kingdom is small, yet terrorism succeeds in terrifying people. The odds of dying from accident or injuries, drug poisoning is the leading cause of injury death in the United States. The lifetime chances of dying from accident or drug poisoning were 1 in 68 in 2017, compared with 1 in 572 in a car accident or 1 in 218,106 for fatal injuries caused by lightning. As you can see, the chances of dying from a terrorist attack is approximately 5 times less likely than being struck by lightning. How many of us are scared of being struck by lightning on a daily basis? Think about being struck by lightning every day. It could happen. It's going to happen. No one already imagined. We have had a remarkably small number of terrorist attacks, but unfortunately that's not going to stay that way. We are going to have more, and it's something that we as a society need to understand. The biggest threat right now is homegrown terrorists, British-born citizens who are strongly influenced by what they see and what they read on the internet. On the BBC regularly we hear attempts at trying to say we need a fortress Britain and it's the fault of refugees. Well, the fortress Britain hasn't paid off. What can you do about somebody who decides to blow themselves up? There's almost no defence to that. I think that we need to take necessary precautions to make sure that we protect that which we value. We as a whole country value. The permanent anti-terror barriers will be placed on roads surrounding winter castle work cost of £1.9 million. The Barra Council has said, temporary barriers designed to prevent vehicle attacks were installed in March after a car was used to run down pedestrians in Westminster. The Council said that some of the money would be spent on ensuring the barriers blinged into their surroundings. barriers went up around the Royal Residence in Balshire on Monday, forming a ring of steel. The force said the changes were proportionate and necessary. They said there was no specific threat to winds up. Since the emergence of the threat from Islamist-inspired terrorism, our country has made significant progress in disrupting plots and protecting the public. I would like to express my condolences to the family and colleagues of the former Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland Martin McGinnis. Of course, we do not condone or justify the path he took in the earlier part of his life and we should never forget that nor the victims of terrorism. However, as my noble friend Lord Trimble set out yesterday, he played an indispensable role in bringing the Republican movement away from violence to peaceful and democratic means and to building a better Northern Ireland. This city has been here before. Harvey remembers the IRA attacks in the 1970s. His parents experienced even greater carnage. What we have to remember is that people do these things for publicity and public reaction. And just like the IRA outrages in the decades gone past, we have to make sure that the public reaction is not what they want. So, for example, if it turns out that the attacker was Muslim, we shouldn't hate Muslims. We should say to the Muslims, we are very sorry that someone who claims to have your religion has done this kind of thing. In the same way, in the 1960s and 70s when there were IRA bonds, we said, I hate the Irish. And in two decades, within 20 years, we were saying, we know this has not been done in your name. We sympathize with you. I remember back in the days when it was the IRA doing the terrorist attacks and we used to visit London then. And it's just a different people doing it now. And it won't put you off. It won't put me off anyway. If we look to the situation of terrorism, well, foremost on everyone's minds, of course, the situation with jihadism. And in the UK, the threat is perhaps as severe as it's been since 2001. And this is because the threat itself is so diverse. You're looking at low-nactar plots, highly networked cells. You're looking at really rudimentary attacks with vehicle roundings, nice stabbing to coordinated bombings. So in Ireland, this situation is very different. I don't think the jihadist threat is anywhere near that it is like in the UK. It's a very different scenario. But where Ireland does, obviously, see, the issue of terrorism is with paramount terrorist. And just last month, the British Security Service said that Northern Ireland is probably the most concentrated area of terrorist activity in all of Europe. And you can see this with a steady drum beat of terrorist attacks. So in the last five years, there have been almost 350 shootings, almost 350 shootings relating to Northern Ireland terrorism, as well as over 250 bombing incidents as well. Over 250 bombing incidents as well. And there's also steady seizure of explosives, of firearms, and of course, the number of people arrested. And it's widely understood that all groups, whether they've actively been involved in decommissioning efforts, maintain access to weapons or arsenal of weapons as well. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And there's also a lot of people who are not involved in decommissioning. And something like that happens in your hometown. You don't have a feeling of being glad that you're so far away. What you feel is that you wish you could be there. We'd loved ones to stand alongside them. This act of terrorism was supposed to divide the people of London. I know for a fact that all something like this does is bring them closer together. Tonight we send our heartfelt thoughts to everybody in Britain. I say. He was praised James for addressing the terrorist attack. But it hit so close to home for him. Afterwards spread about the incident. Many celebrities shared their thoughts and prayers on Twitter. Now, Horan tweeted, thinking of one in this morning from LA, stay safe everyone. Cape Harry sent her love for the UK via emojis and singer Hailey Steinfeld. shared a similar post, writing, my heart is with you one day. And Jam Childry did nothing to assuage his critics and everything to antagonize them. This is his vision for the UK. Of course our call will be banned. Drugs will be banned. Polography will be banned. Gamling will be banned. But the money... Queen with the Queen? Queen with the Queen? Queen with the Queen? Queen with the Queen? Queen with the Queen? A reputation as a rabble rouser. Who refused to condemn Al Qaeda's attacks in the US, the UK and beyond, when asked on CNN if he condemned the killing of American journalist James Folian Stephen Sokloff in Syria, he refused. But quite frankly, I think he's completely pathetic and absurd for you to ask a Muslim to condemn the killing of one individual. A former hard-parching law student, he grew into a hardcore Islamist. Along with his leader, radical cleric Omar Bakery Fostok, he ran the now outlawed Al Marjorun group that inspired a young British Muslim to detonate a suicide bomb in Mike's place, a pizza parlour in Tel Aviv. Over 100 people who've either been convicted of terrorist-related events, carried out terrorist-related events, or tried to carry out violent attacks, who've been connected to him. So we've always said he's a gateway to terror. It's been a gateway to a network which is spread across Europe. Chaudhrys are ledged to a set-up in effect, Al Marjorun franchises, to help similar minds exert their influence on similar groups. His reach extended into Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands. He helped set up Sharia for Belgium, which radicalised those involved in the Paris attacks, and many more who headed to Syria. Likewise, in France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain. He also helped launch another Sharia for branch in Indonesia, which is seen as many as 800 jihadis go off to Syria. The one-time lawyer always managed to evade prosecution, often teasing the authorities but careful not to cross the line.

In his countless TV appearances, Chaudhry never condemned the atrocities, the suicide bombs, the beheadings, the mass slaughters. Do you not worry that it is your voice that's helping radicalise people who want to do this? But his constant messages on social media has finally led to his downfall.
