The greatest threat to national security isn’t from the “far right,” as the woke try to make it out to be. It’s from Iran and the “Islamic extremist ideology,” and the threat has increased to a worrying extent, according to MI5 Director General Ken McCallum. Russia and China are also causes of concern. The red-green axis threatens Britain and other countries in the West, all facilitated by open-door migration.
“MI5 spy chief says Russia and Iran are behind a ‘staggering’ rise in deadly plots,” by Jill Lawless, Associated Press, October 8, 2024:
LONDON (AP) — Britain is facing a “staggering rise” in attempts at assassination, sabotage and other crimes on U.K. soil by Russia and Iran, as the two states recruit criminals to “do their dirty work,” the head of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency said Tuesday.
MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said his agents and police have tackled 20 “potentially lethal” plots backed by Iran since 2022 and warned that it could expand its targets in the United Kingdom if conflicts in the Middle East deepen.
So far, the threats have been aimed at Iranians abroad who oppose the country’s authorities. But McCallum said there is the risk “of an increase in — or broadening of — Iranian state aggression in the U.K.” if the Middle East crisis escalates with Israel launching a major attack in response to Iran’s recent missile barrage.
In a rare public speech setting out the major threats to the U.K. from both states and militant groups, McCallum argued that hostile states, radicalized individuals and a revived Islamic State group have combined to create “the most complex and interconnected threat environment we’ve ever seen.”
McCallum said there also is a risk that Israel’s conflicts with Iran-backed groups — the militant Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as the Houthi rebels in Yemen — could trigger attacks in the U.K., though so far the crisis has not translated “at scale into terrorist violence” in Britain….

”‘Islamic extremist ideology’”
I would suggest that the word extremist is redundant in this statement.

Yes, Emilie, General McCallum will be rewarded for his honesty by being posted to the Falklands as a platoon leader.

So why don’t we give them a taste of their own medicine, blow up a few of their oil refineries .
Tatanka says
Why blow up their oil refineries ?,they ain’t done anything wrong. Don’t give big oil a reason to increase prices, they are steep enough as it is. Kick these muslims back out of the country, they should never have been let in to to start with.
somehistory says
He doesn’t really get to the point of saying that it’s because the country has allowed/brought in so many mozlums from the various nations where mozlums are in control and do as they please.
russia, iran and the ‘conflict’ in the ME are said to be behind the terror threats. However, since ” 13% of the subjects of MI5 terror investigations under the age of 18,” there is something else afoot in the land.

McCallum forgot to say “You have already brought the Trojan horse in to britain”
somehistory says
Yes.
Eric says
This guy must not want to keep his job. The nerve he has to blame terror on the muzzies.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Ken McCallum still has a job? How has he not yet been cancelled like Tommy Robinson?
Pray Hard says
I guess he’ll be looking for a job.

True dat, Just hope someone listens…

Some Bahai I know in Manchester seem decent. They hold their tongues, maybe a condition of living here.
It would be good to get their view of Iranian attacks on Iranians or Jews iving here.
The 115k Iranians are as rare as rocking horses in the UK.
Maybe the IRGC use the numerous Sunnis to handle wet jobs.
