Utterly irrelevant. Have France, Sweden, Germany reduced police numbers? Have Australia, Canada? All have had attacks. Trying to score political points on this new form of random terrorism sickens me. How would extra police on the streets have prevented this. Do tell me. A man in a van mounts a kerb and runs people over, you simply cannot stop this in the traditional way.
What is really to blame is the tolerance to multi culturalism that lead to ghettos in all of Western Europe.
The only people really telling it how it is are the Quilliam foundation (particularly local lad Haras Rafiq). The Quilliam foundation are Muslims, who see this for what it is and aren't afraid to say it, whilst liberals hide their head in the sand and make excuses for the perpetrators, blaming foreign policy or some other totally bogus misdirection.
