The independent reviewer of Prevent, William Shawcross, has criticized the UK government for not effectively tackling Islamist extremism, highlighting a dangerous surge in anti-Semitism and public safety risks. Despite claims from the government that most of Shawcross's recommendations from the Prevent review have been implemented, Shawcross and other experts argue that key recommendations, especially concerning actions against HAMAS before or since Oct. 7, have been ignored. This discrepancy has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the UK's counter-terrorism strategy, with Shawcross and others warning that the public remains at risk due to the government's failure to fully address Islamist extremism. MI5 data revealing that 75% of its caseload focuses on Islamist threats contrasts sharply with the fact that only 11% of referrals to the Prevent program relate to Islamist terrorism, suggesting a significant gap in the program's focus and implementation.
Some arresting stats in Braverman Tel article: 75% of MI5's caseload concerns the Islamist terror threat but only 11% of referrals to the Prevent scheme are of Islamists and that is actually falling. Prevent is run by Woke folk peddling the idea that Far Right is the main threat.
With all the conversation about protest and extremism, feels timely to have spoken last week to govts anti-extremism chief - he told us successive govts haven’t used the powers they already have firmly enough - worth a watch 👇🏼 https://t.co/z96uytenv2
ICYMI: 'Islamist extremism is being swept under the rug' 'MI5 data shows that 75% of its caseload was focused on Islamist threats, yet the latest figures for referrals to the PREVENT programme showed just 11% related to Islamist terrorism. How can that be?' @PatrickChristys https://t.co/dQYWWtLt9D
