Terrorism Still With Us

MP Sir David Amess had recently written about the risk of attacks on parliamentarians, saying that 'it could happen to any of us' and it was an unfortunate prophesy as he became the latest victim, stabbed to death while holding an MP's surgery in his constituency of Leigh-on-Sea.
In his book, he stated that 'The British tradition has always been that members of parliament regularly make themselves available for constituents to meet them face to face at their surgeries' and it was this that saw a 25 year old male armed with a knife waiting among a group of people to see him and launch the attack, stabbing him multiple times, shortly after the MP arrived.
Police have now declared it as a terrorist incident after the suspect, a Briton with Somali heritage, was arrested at the scene.
Quite rightly there are now calls for MPs to have security when they meet the general public but politicians of all parties have stated that the abuse, intimidation and risk for MPs and their staff has increased over the past few years and dealing with harassment is sadly now part and parcel of politics in 2021.
As the police are now saying it was an Islamist terror attack, i am sure we will find out in time if there is any significance that the attack happened in a Church, where Amess held his surgery's, or the MP was targeted due to some view he held but hot on the heels of the fatal attacks in Norway this week, terrorism is still with us.
