Comment: The following UK Independent article reveals the true reason for the Woolwich 'terror attack' and subsequent moves to increase 'the watchful eyes' of the British police state. The British government was quick to cast the south London knifing (by people MI5 tried to recruit as informants and whose families have stated were manipulated for years by the security services) as a 'terrorist attack', recalling the entire cabinet for an emergency meeting to discuss reviving legislation that had previously been shelved because the Liberal Democrats leader and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg resisted this Orwellian move. The Communications Data Bill requires Internet service providers and mobile phone companies to maintain records of everyone's internet browsing activity (including social media), email correspondence, voice calls, internet gaming, you name it. Although the draconian law is now couched in terms of clamping down on 'extremist Islamic websites', it's clear that its real goal is to monitor online chatter, gauge the general mood, then insert sockpuppets to 'win hearts and minds' and dampen the potential for mass protest movements overthrowing their despotic rule.
The "would-be terrorists" are YOU.
Experts are trying to pre-empt terrorism by bombarding jihadist websites with alternative messages
The major battle in the war against extremism is being fought over the internet by elite teams stationed behind keyboards and engaged in winning the hearts and minds of would-be terrorists.
It is a sign of the increasing understanding that small-scale, unsophisticated attacks such as the one in Woolwich are a growing threat: the Government, police and other agencies are involved in a propaganda war to counter extremism.
Comment: This has in fact been going on for quite some time; here the British government is using the recent so-called 'terrorist attack' to retrospectively win public approval for totalitarian measures that are already up and running.
