A Synagogue was attacked yesterday so yeah, they likely will be.
Don’t think that happened yet when I commented, but there you go - just the justification the UK government is looking for.
One of the victims was killed by the police, another wounded by them.
Yeah, but there was still a terror attack, one where the police shot the wrong people, but that can still be used, can it not?
