UK’s Christmas in the age of jihad: Armed guards, concrete barriers and metal detectors around festive market

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

...

Why is this necessary? Because of “right-wing extremism”? No, because of jihad. Why is there jihad in Britain? Because of the Muslim immigration policies pursued by Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and Theresa May. Will those policies be changed? Absolutely not, and even to suggest such a thing makes you a racist, bigoted Islamophobe. So Merry Christmas, and don’t forget to duck.

“How Britain celebrates Christmas in 2017: Armed guards, concrete barriers and metal detectors spring up around festive markets due to terror attack fears,” by Alex Matthews, Mailonline, November 20, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):

Britain’s Christmas markets will surrounded by a ring of a steel with armed police on patrol and metal detectors at entrances as security is raised over new terror fears.

There will be concrete barriers, stop and search checks and officers on the ground at the popular festive events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Bath in the run up to Christmas.

The precautions are being taken after the Local Government Association warned councils to be vigilant this year with the terror threat level to the UK currently at ‘severe’ – meaning an incident is ‘highly likely’.

Britain has suffered from the three horrific attacks this year with innocent people and children killed in London and Manchester.

But while security is being ramped up in light of the atrocities in Westminster in March, the Manchester Arena in May and London Bridge in June, the authorities are also concerned about a potential copy-cat attack.

Last Year 12 were murdered when an ISIS fanatic ploughed a lorry through Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz Christmas market.

Visitors to the Scottish capital’s Christmas markets on George Street and East Princes Street this year can expect bag searches and security checks at entrances.

Police Scotland have also pledged to enforce additional security measures and armed officers will be on patrol at the festive events.

A police spokeswoman said: ‘Our priority is the safety and security of all those attending or involved, and the public are encouraged to continue with their plans to attend or take part in events as normal.’

‘The public may see additional protective security measures. There could also be increased security checks at some events and venues so we advise the public to arrive in plenty of time to allow for this.

Manchester’s Christmas market has also bolstered its security precautions, in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 23 people at an Ariana Grande gig in May.

Visitors will be met with metal and concrete barriers at the Yuletide festival, with armed police patrols keeping a watchful eye over the crowds.

Superintendent Chris Hill, of Greater Manchester Police, said: ‘I want to assure people that we are strengthening protective security as an extra precaution to keep people as safe as possible, and it should make people feel more comfortable and reassured about attending events like the Christmas Markets.

‘This has been a difficult year for the city and we must never forget the people who have been affected.

‘However, we have already all come together and shown our strength and determination to carry on enjoying our day to day lives.

‘I want to encourage everyone to do the same. We are here and we’re doing everything that we can to keep you safe.’…
