Instead, what is needed is a Home Office minister for terrorism who is

I think we need to set up some sort of committee or review process before me start appoint a Terrorism Tzar. How about we have a public enquiry and then we appoint someone? And while we’re at it, shouldn’t we have some sort of national terrorism force. An elite and very smartly dressed group of ruthless men who are above the law and can deal with terror and dissent without all this tiresome accountability nonsense. They could be personally answerable to the Terrorist Tzar. Now who can we appoint as our first Tzar? Has anyone seen Himler lately?
