"1. Intelligence did NOT identify all of the attackers beforehand....." The French have admitted that every single one of the Paris attackers identified so far was on either Interpol, French or Belgian intelligence watch lists. "Mass surveillance" allowed the French to tell the Belgians exactly where the mobile phone found dumped in Paris had been and who had been called from it, leading to the raid on the terrorist cell in Belgium and subsequent arrests in France.

"......2. "self-deluding, socio-political group-think"?....." The Schengen Agreement is the result of EU socialist dreaming (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/theneweurope/wk22.htm) and stark warnings about the security implications were ignored when it was originally agreed. Similarly, the way people have been shouted at for even suggesting we should be on the guard against possible criminals and terrorists hiding amongst the recent wave of refugees entering the EU just goes to show how short-sighted those moral-hobbyhorse-riding shouters were. Once again, it seems the Left can't see beyond the chance to label anyone they disagree with as a "Nazi" or "Fascist" - actually stopping to consider the situation seems to come a very distant second to the eager abuse.

"....3. Belgium's problem...all in abeyance to EU law. Yes, act when there is a problem. Wow, did you come up with that idea all by yourself?...." Wow, did you come up with that complete non-reply all by yourself?

"....4. Unfortunately I have to agree with the gist of some of your last two paragraphs." Blimey! I'm off to buy a lottery ticket!
