The prime minister signaled a crackdown on Islamist extremism in the U.K., insisting that it had been “tolerated” for too long. Declaring “enough is enough” May said new powers could be rushed through for the security services, as well as longer prison sentences for known fanatics and new measures to remove internet “safe spaces” for extremist sympathizers. “This is the third terrorist attack Britain has experienced in the last three months,” she noted, adding that the incident was not linked to last month’s suicide bombing in Manchester, but warned it was part of a “new trend.” “We cannot and must not pretend that things can continue to carry on as they are,” she said. “Enough is enough.”Possibility of screening Muslims in UK and a fresh review of immigration rules is also on the cards.
