Queen ElizabethThis plot shows once again that appeasement doesn’t work. The British government has done all it could do to placate Islamic jihadists and supremacists. It has allowed them to preach freely all over the land, while hounding and jailing counter-jihadists on the flimsiest of pretexts, and banning foreign ones from entering the country.

The Home Office has also been made aware of the terror plot.
