Fighting fire with fire only way to beat the terrorists

THE object of acts of terror is to make people scared. Scared to go to work, scared to put on a uniform or to sit as a judge or on a jury.

Many years back a British general fighting the Communist Chinese stated that the only way to beat terrorists was to terrorise both them and their supporters.

We (British and Commonwealth troops) beat them. So is it not time to start terrorising both the terrorists and their supporters?

We are still playing by the rules. But the only time they play by the rules is when they get caught.

Then the human rights lawyers come out of the woodwork. If found guilty we send them to a soft prison where they continue to spout their filthy propaganda.

Perhaps now is the time to set up a special prison camp for them and their supporters. Say on South Georgia or somewhere where mobile phones won’t work with no comforts and just let them rot.
