Lock them up

ISLAMIST terror will erupt in Britain as long as hate-filled extremism goes unpunished.

In some mosques, imams openly ­glorify the slaughter of 1,400 Jews.

On our streets, and online, pro-Hamas thugs call for genocide.

And psychopathic morons strip desperate posters of kidnapped Jewish children from walls.

Why are hundreds of these wicked people not already in cells, hauled away by riot police as in France?

Why are extremist mosques not stripped of public funding and shut down overnight?

Home Secretary Suella Braverman calls anti-Israel protests “hate marches”.

She’s right.

So why aren’t they banned?

A few protesters may be well-meaning, if staggeringly naive.

But these demos, under supposedly benign “Free Palestine” banners, are magnets for overt and terrifying racism — including blood-curdling, illegal chants from evil fanatics who crave a second Holocaust.

Ours is a supposedly moderate, liberal country.

A safe home for all faiths, including Jews.

We will not keep it that way unless we end years of craven, gullible indulgence towards violent Islamist fascists.

Moderate Muslims will agree.

Yesterday’s emergency Cabinet agreed to keep our laws under review.

But the police can act using those we have — as they do over the slightest whiff of Islamophobia or other “hate speech”.

What is stopping them?

Flying solo

THE mega-deal to supply 48 UK Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi is far too important to be shot down by German politics.

The struggling country’s useless leader Olaf Scholz, in bed with its Green Party, aims to scupper a sale potentially worth £15billion, putting 6,000 British jobs at risk and threatening a much longer-term agreement too.

That cannot happen.

Our lawyers must find a way to freeze Germany out of the joint contract it no longer wants to ­honour.

We must supply the planes alone or with more robust new partners.

Despite what virtue-signalling MPs in Berlin think, refusing to sell Saudis our Typhoons won’t make a blind bit of difference to their ability to attack Yemen.

France will just flog them their Rafale planes, making billions in the process.

And Germany’s reputation as a reliable military ally will have crashed and burned.

Pain goes on

WE doubt poor Kate and Gerry McCann will ever get closure over Madeleine.

But an apology from Portuguese cops over their ineptitude and persecution of the family in 2007 is progress of a sort.

So, perhaps, is the grim news that German prosecutors now seem ­convinced Madeleine died in Portugal.

Yet still nothing is certain.

Without a confession from the sole suspect, some sliver of hope will remain . . . and the McCanns’ torment will go on.
