I understand this but if you first have a law to deal with people known to the security services that's already some prevention and if such a law had been available previously we would have stopped Manchester and previous attacks. And those people would be alive now!! Of course there will be circumstances whereby people are unknown but lets first be able to deal with the known!

Years ago.. The man putting poison in Tylenol bottles was a terrorist. The teen schoolgirl calling in a bomb threat to her high school is a terrorist. Ted Kazinski.... who took years to to find... was a terrorist who kept bombing...
The problem is greater than you can say here. Even sleeper cells... or the military soldier who goes off. Your thread proposition here is flawed in the respect we can't monitor the world.
Your perfectly normal neighbor could one day go off... So it's not to go after those we know about by vetting etc... But nothing can be done about those not yet even known of... Or who will become one.......
The problem we have comes predominantly from Islamist so why cant we have a law that is defined to deal with Islamic extremists who are a potential threat. I don't see how that would affect an ordinary citizen who has no Islamic issues or connections thus nothing to fear from such a law. This is about preventing Islamic terrorist attacker and suicide bombers conducting such attacks on UK territory! Its all about the law definition and what it applies to!

I understand everyone's frustration and desire to pin terrorists before they actually hurt someone. The thing is until they actually do something what should be done? Normally, with non-Muslim or people who are not of Arabic descent a person is only arrested after they commit a crime. So the real question here is what kind of society do you want to live in. Do you want to live in a society where you can be declared to be "criminal" for crimes of consciousness, arrested, convicted, and then serve the sentence which may include capital punishment. I'm all for policing the ragheads before they strike. I'm just afraid we will lose all our liberties when crimes of consciousness are used to fight political foes.
I have no answers. I just know there are trade-offs in every decision about how the system is supposed to work.
Waste of time! We have been saying this for 30 years and nothing as worked.

With very few exceptions, most everyone is capable of committing an act of terror under the right circumstances. It's part of being human and we can't lock everybody up based on potential.
Knowing that little piece of truth, it might be wise to NOT limit our focus just to "potential perpetrators."
It might be worth the time and effort to do more about discussing and preventing the "potential causes."

I watched BBC's Question Time last night and it was clear to me that there was some reluctance to take any firm action against those who are on watch lists or known to the authorities regardless of the fact that they could be potential terrorists who may perpetrate deadly attacks.
And if there was a previous willingness and appropriate laws that could have been applied to such people then the Manchester attack would never have happened and those kids would still be with us!
It seems to me that whilst we convey rights to these people who are almost always known to the security services we wont be able to PREVENT them from conducting such attacks, but if we defined and applied new laws then we might be able to do so and better protect our children and the public in general.
Maybe we need a new law - a name? Ariana Law, Manchester's Law, Act of Evil, others??
What should that law cover in order to be able to prevent potential perpetrators carrying out their acts of evil?
What should be in the list of 10 aspects of such a law?
I will start with the first one and can think of many more.
1. Anyone who went or goes off to fight for the access of evil etc ISIS should automatically be stripped of their UK citizenship and deported if they have returned following a sentence of 10 years! This would remove the threat from them!

Whites live in a different world of thought.
Get real here.
The whites have lost all direction of "common sense" due to that #te they put in tooth paste called floride.
What do Islamist's use?.........plastic explosive

The Manchester bomber was a UK citizen who's Libyan father fought against Gadaffi! As we did! So why should he have a problem with the UK. Corbyn BS taking advantage of a tragedy is not the root problem. The root problem is with Islamist beliefs!

The only way to stop modern terrorists is to stop bombing their countries.
For every innocent you bomb and we bomb a lot of innocents you create multiple terrorists. Or rather a lot of people who want revenge.
If someone bombed my family you could be sure I would be seeking revenge.
This does not mean I agree with any terrorist actions but I sure as hell understand how they get to the point where they choose to do what they do.
I wonder which friends or relatives of the Manchester attacker we killed or were killed due to our removal of the Libyan government and the entrance of the saudi backed jihadists.
Wasn't that funny! Maybe we should find out what toothpaste Islamist's use and poison it so that it makes them nice people!

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi issued a 'prophetic' warning to Tony Blair that jihadists would attack Europe if his regime was allowed to collapse, phone conversations reveal. Gaddafi's dire prediction was made in two desperate telephone calls with Mr Blair on February 25, 2011 - as civil war was engulfing Libya. In the first call at 11.15am, Gaddafi said: "They [jihadists] want to control the Mediterranean and then they will attack Europe."
