I've not heard details of this alleged retaliatory action against a Mosque in London? If true this will only worsen the government's position in their pursuit of stopping incidences of terrorism. If Cabinet perceives the civilian police of not being in control, or incapable of keeping the community safe.
In relation to this country at least, they'll introduce the emergency laws which currently exist, and are already on the books so to speak, and hand over the functions of law-enforcement to either SAC-PAV or PSCC to regain community order, using the Military assets instead of police.
If the military take control, they'll quickly introduce far tougher methods and restrictions then you'll ever see from the police. Martial law; curfews; stop and search (at gunpoint) and other onerous restrictions placed upon the civilian population. The last of which I saw personally in Ulster, in the late 1980's when I was undertaking training with the RUC on 'Hadrian & Hobo' (Remote 'Bomb Ignition Vehicles') used for IED's.
There's absolutely no room for vigilantism; whatever the reason. It places the authorities in an unenviable position, All that will do is reduce and weaken police resolve to nail the real culprits, the terrorists themselves, not just a bunch of angry young men, who possess very little understanding of the difficulties confronting the government and the police force in these troubled times.
And you're perfectly correct BAZZ I should keep well away from my ex colleague/mates! At my age all I wish to do is live in quiet oblivion, not worry about criminals of any variety.
