There's a massive difference between identifying a potential terrorist or a adicalised ethno-religious fanatic and then proving it....

The authorities have to prove a suspect has been radicalised to the degree required for terrorism charges, which involves gathering evidence of their intent, planning, and connection to extremist ideologies or terror groups.

And proving a specific terrorist motive within the framework of the criminal law can be extremely difficult.....

It's certainly easy for the police or security services to jump the gun on these things.....
All very true. It looks like it's easier to deal with for non citizens as that deported South African had turned up an anti Jewish protest as part of a group and had the visa cancelled on character grounds. A precedent and this should be followed for the other group too. Citizens meanwhile, which those in Liverpool were, are harder to just latch onto.
 

Police investigate ‘suspicious’ fire of car with Chanukah sign set alight​

Police are investigating a “suspicious fire” in Melbourne’s St Kilda East on Christmas morning.

already have a suspect

Amazing, 150 unsolved firebombings in Melbourne in 5 years. This is solved in a night.

I guess we have special people in our community.
 
Could have been an insurance job.

I had this 1980s Saab 900 turbo back in the mid 1990's.

Anyway the turbo compressor shit itself and the cost to replace it was going to be astronomical. Probably more than the book value of the car!!

The dude in the garage said that for a 'few quid' he could get it stolen and burnt up for me....so I could claim the insurance and buy another car.

Bearing in mind this was South London and this kind of thing was behavioural normality in the motor repair industry...

Would usually happen away from the home though - I’ve heard about many of these in Australia.
 
Some loser sleeping rough did the job, still looking for him last I heard. Was he paid by a third party, I think so.

Good on him that's what we need
Yep had a good little chat with my wife’s uncle and aunt (uncle is Lebanese and married into the family, so the aunt converted to Islam) at the hospice about this and they had the same belief - they were very befuddled at why these people kill innocents as to their understanding, its taught that “killing an innocent is like killing the world”
 
Widdle joshie frydenburg wants a royal commission into ‘anti-semitism’

Of course he doesn’t mind wasting taxpayer’s money.

What spend up to half a million dollars to answer something we could answer for free?
 
The most expensive royal commision we have had is 0.03% of GDP, I'd be pretty happy to support one
