UK Counter-Terrorism (merged thread)

Hardly surprising and little different from a recent post above; as The Times is behind a pay wall this source is used:

The Times says that data released by the National Police Chiefs Council has revealed that of the 3,288 referrals to Prevent in the first half of the year, just 280 – or 8.6% – came from within the Muslim community, or from family, friends and faith leaders. Nearly 2,200 referrals were made by public bodies outside policing, such as social services and the health or education sectors. The rest were said to have come from within prisons or from police investigations.

A far from impartial group, CAGE, has "leaked" the training materials used in the Prevent programme, including the Channel Project and placed them on a separate website:http://www.preventresources.com/

Given the interest in the claimed success of Prevent, copied by CVE in the USA, the videos etc maybe of interest.

Tweeted by the UK police chiefs association; never seen them do this before. Even odder is that it is arrests and not charges laid, most of those arrested are not charged with any terror-related offences.

David Anderson, a leading English lawyer, is the UK's Independent Reviewer of Counter-Terrorism Law (and practice), who has a earned a remarkable reputation and recently announced he'd vacate the role.

He has written a short article on the legal response to terrorism, in an obscure legal journal, but Tweeted it:https://terrorismlegislationreviewer.../article-1.pdf

Within is this important polling result:

Around 95% of British Muslims feel loyalty to Britain, according to a poll last year for the Today Programme. 94% say that if someone they knew from the Muslim community was planning an act of violence, they would inform the police.
