Security Services

Is it surprising that the security services didn’t know about the July 7th attacks last year?

The more you entrust security to a secretive organisation that does not interface with the public, the less likely they will get meaningful information from the public.

I’ve worked in very secret industrial research establishments and visited many. In the most secure, there are few employed directly in security, as everyone who works there does their little bit.

So, if we want to protect ourselves from bombings and criminals, we must all be vigilant. Unfortunately, this government has managed to alienate large sections of the population, so people now do not feel part of society. Until they realise that we’re all in it together and treat us as responsible adults the situation will get worse.
