The spy chief said: “That threat is multi-dimensional, evolving rapidly and operating at a scale and pace we’ve not seen before.”

He added: “It’s at the highest tempo I have seen in my 34-year career. Today there is more terrorist activity, coming at us more quickly, and it can be harder to detect.”

MI5 is under pressure to demonstrate its effectiveness after four Islamist terrorist attacks escaped its detection this year.

He said 20 plots had been thwarted in the last four years.

Seven plots had been stopped before jihadists could strike in the last seven months alone, Parker added. 

It's annoying that they had to bring Brexit into this news.  The countries in Europe would still share information with the UK despite Brexit.  But then, this is the Guardian.  

I do agree that social media platforms need watching and sites that contribute to jihadism need to be taken down along with videos that glorify the jihadists.

Incidentally, I deliberately chose to seed this from a left wing site :-)

NO NO!!!  Nobody can talk about it. Say one bad thing about radical Islamist terrorism and you get fined or put into jail. BLASPHEMY!!!

It doesn't exist according to the American mainstream media.

Why must you resort to lies?

I do.

I just don't find grasping at straws to support one's Islamophobia to be funny.  Pathetic, more like.

This is what happens when you throw your borders wide open to the prime demographic for terrorists.
