WHEN will politicians seriously recognise that we have fight on our hands with mindless Islamic militancy.

Everyone now has to be aware of this. I suggest the Government introduces a confidential telephone number to report suspicions. It should also be made very clear: the gallows awaits, whether British born or not.

I’d also like to see a serious clampdown on benefits payments to anyone who preaches religious hatred.

What kind of suckers we are to fund those who attack our society? Wake up Prime Minister.

Coun Tony Pelton, Catterick
