No war was ever won on the defense. The UK banned me when they should have banned jihadis, sharia adherents and the jihadic doctrine.

HOW BRITAIN CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS IN 2017: ARMED GUARDS, CONCRETE BARRIERS AND METAL DETECTORS SPRING UP AROUND FESTIVE MARKETS DUE TO TERROR ATTACK FEARS

• Armed police, large concrete barriers and stop and search checks carried out at festive markets across UK
• Heavy police presence at festive events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Bath
• Britain is on a severe terror alert in aftermath of attacks in Westminster, London Bridge and Manchester
• Last year an ISIS fanatic murdered 12 when he ploughed a lorry through Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz market

Britain’s Christmas markets will surrounded by a ring of a steel with armed police on patrol and metal detectors at entrances as security is raised over new terror fears.

There will be concrete barriers, stop and search checks and officers on the ground at the popular festive events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Bath in the run up to Christmas.

The precautions are being taken after the Local Government Association warned councils to be vigilant this year with the terror threat level to the UK currently at ‘severe’ – meaning an incident is ‘highly likely’.

Britain has suffered from the three horrific attacks this year with innocent people and children killed in London and Manchester.

But while security is being ramped up in light of the atrocities in Westminster in March, the Manchester Arena in May and London Bridge in June, the authorities are also concerned about a potential copy-cat attack.

Last Year 12 were murdered when an ISIS fanatic ploughed a lorry through Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz Christmas market.

EDINBURGH 

Visitors to the Scottish capital’s Christmas markets on George Street and East Princes Street this year can expect bag searches and security checks at entrances.

Police Scotland have also pledged to enforce additional security measures and armed officers will be on patrol at the festive events. 

A police spokeswoman said: ‘Our priority is the safety and security of all those attending or involved, and the public are encouraged to continue with their plans to attend or take part in events as normal.’

‘The public may see additional protective security measures. There could also be increased security checks at some events and venues so we advise the public to arrive in plenty of time to allow for this.

Manchester’s Christmas market has also bolstered its security precautions, in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 23 people at an Ariana Grande gig in May.

Visitors will be met with metal and concrete barriers at the Yuletide festival, with armed police patrols keeping a watchful eye over the crowds. 

Superintendent Chris Hill, of Greater Manchester Police, said: ‘I want to assure people that we are strengthening protective security as an extra precaution to keep people as safe as possible, and it should make people feel more comfortable and reassured about attending events like the Christmas Markets.

‘This has been a difficult year for the city and we must never forget the people who have been affected.

‘However, we have already all come together and shown our strength and determination to carry on enjoying our day to day lives.

‘I want to encourage everyone to do the same. We are here and we’re doing everything that we can to keep you safe.’

 LONDON 

London has been hit twice in the past 12 months by terror attacks involving vehicles on Westminster Bridge and London Bridge.

In response to those atrocities barriers separating traffic from pedestrians were erected on three of the capital’s bridges.

Similar measures are no in place at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland festival, one of London’s most popular Christmas attractions.

A Met Police spokesman said: ‘The public may see additional protective security measures and barriers at events this year, in response to a number of vehicle-based terrorist attacks we have sadly seen both here in the UK and abroad.

‘There could also be increased security checks at some events and venues so we advise the public to arrive in plenty of time to allow for this.’
