Deal with the causes of the terrorism itself, rather than continue to curtail the activities of daily life? Why, that would be “Islamophobic”!
“How Bath’s anti-terrorism plans will limit car access to city centre,” ITV, September 24, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A public consultation has been launched into proposals for new anti-terror measures in Bath, which would see roads around Bath Abbey closed to most vehicles.
The plans, drafted by Bath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES), call for Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) – which would allow the council to install “hostile vehicle mitigation measures.”
These are intended to reduce the risk of a vehicle-based terror attack, such as a car mounting the curb – but the TRO would also stop most vehicles from accessing the city centre.
The proposals include vehicle access restrictions on streets defined as crowded places in and around Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths….

Shame. Bath is probably one of the top towns in the UK.

And Bath has been an open city for centuries, and an international draw for all of that time. Infidels have to deeply inconvenience themselves for the Muslims even when they are not dying for it.

This foolishness will spread like waste water all over the Woke UK.I still scratch my head wondering how a nation so steeped in freedom and rights for centuries became so wrong politically in such a short time. Socialism is not only a mental disease it’s a curse..

I agree completely with the first sentence from Robert Spencer. Deal with the causes of all this crap from Muslims. It is always Muslims. No Buddhists or Christians cause all this endless strife. Of course, for many countries, probably including the UK, it is very likely too late. too many Muslims have been foolishly let into many countries. But at least it would be better to face up to the problem and slam the door on letting any more Muslims in. Poisonous, violent Islam is the cause of all this garbage and it is time everyone faced that truth.

Yes–an important first step, Tim. Otherwise this is only going to get worse.
tim gallagher says
No doubt it would be an important step in stopping the rot. I can’t see it happening though. Not enough of the population in any of our countries seem to have woken up to islam’s nature yet. And it gets harder and harder to slam the door shut on Muslim migration, or Muslim “refugee” invasion, as Muslim numbers grow and they become a bigger and more powerful political lobby group. At least, that’s what I see happening in Australia and I think things are the same everywhere else.

This is England – where pavements have “kerbs” and horses have “curbs”.
Still – whoever heard of a journalist who could write properly….?

Phil–with all respect–is this your *only* comment here? ITV is indeed English, but it is also availble on Cable outside the UK–hence the likely reason for this North Americanism (found in Canada and the US).
I think the content of the story is more important than this picayune (another Americanism) point.
Infidel says
But muslims don’t have baths. Why would the city of Bath be affected, when we know that muslims won’t go there? ?

UK: City of Bath considering anti-terror measures which would see roads around Bath Abbey closed to most vehicles

………………..
It isn’t the traffic that is hostile, but Jihadists acting in the name of Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
This shows just how terrible things are becoming in the United Kingdom regarding the deadly dangers of Muslim terrorism .
Just remember the murderous jihad bombing in the city of Manchester ,England
notnolib says
Isn’t that a violation of muslims right to practice their faith without interference? They are commanded to fight the infidels, strike them at their necks. How will they be able to practice the commandments of the pedophile prophet mohammed the pig-faced dog?
OLD GUY says
COMING TO AMERICA, the migration invasion of islam and the restrictions it will put on all our lives.
Our cities and states will bend over backwards to accommodate the muslim/islamic religion while it shoves Christians and all other religious beliefs in the corner. STUPID!
If islam can not follow our laws we will need to build a lot of prisons or deport them back to their islamic countries.
tgusa says
I guess the authorities in Bath hope to prevent a Blood Bath.
“City of Bath considering anti-terror measures”
Not very long ago you used to be able to walk the streets with little concern about terror related assaults. I wonder what has changed?
No amount of anti terror measures will work when you are allowing hordes of them in. I suspect that the authorities may be doing it all wrong.
