National Security

	The first duty of any government is to protect the people. Following the 7/7 attacks in London, the 9/11 attacks in the United States, and subsequent terrorist incidents around the world, national security has become a paramount concern for many governments and societies.
The Labour government failed in this duty to protect the people, scandalously so, and has only succeeded in costing the lives of many British men, women and children, and put many more at risk. Furthermore as a reaction to this failure they have created a totalitarian state where the rights of the people are abused, and criminals and terrorists walk free.

Our Policies 1. A secure and safe Britain. Following the (ongoing) failed government experiment of multiculturalism, which has been a policy of state sponsored separatism for decades, we must make our primary policy here a pledge of support to our security services, MI5 and MI6. To these brave people who are continuously saving the lives of thousands of Britons every year from the threat of terrorism, we pledge our undying support. We will ensure increasing funding to aide a recruitment drive and equipment upgrades. We will ensure legally that any evidence collected that proves a threat to national security will be used in a court of law against suspects. And we will ensure that police and security services are guaranteed enough time to question suspects fully, by allowing forces to apply to the Home Secretary for extensions if the 28 day limit is exceeded. In addition to introducing an electronic register to monitor border crossings, we will allow police and security forces to impliment proven profiling techniques in order to streamline the efficiency and effectiveness of targeting suspected terrorists nationwide.
2. Zero tolerance on extremism. On a social scale we promise a zero tolerance approach to those known to be involved in the process of terrorism against Britain and it's allies. We will be introducing a range of credible minimum sentence terms and repealing the ridiculous, unworkable and simply farcical 'Human Rights Act' to close the hundreds of existing loopholes created by Labour and the European Union. Since 7/7 Tony Blair has promised a purge on terror suspects but he has failed on all counts. Germany have deported TWENTY in the past year, and in Italy four were removed in a single week. Elsewhere France, Spain and Holland have deported at least half a dozen each in the past twelve months. We will deport foreign preachers of hate and violence without hesitation, in a process that will be vastly superior to the present non-existant government policy. Where there is sufficient evidence of guilt trials will be fast-tracked to eliminate the gross waste of public money and court time. We will order a complete review into suspected crime and terrorist organisations, and the individuals associated with them. We will not hesitate to outlaw such organisations and seize property involved with these crimes.
3. Supporting our armed forces. To our armed forces, which we believe are grossly undervalued and underpaid by the government, we plan to introduce a range of perks. These will include generous tax breaks, mortgages and pensions. Additionally, we will give our armed forces funding for new equipment, and essential upgrades to vehicles. In a recent case where a Hercules C-180 was shot down in Iraq, it was noted that an explosive suppressant foam protection upgrade to fuels tanks could probably have saved the crew's lives. We will order a full review into our participation in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, with a view to significantly reducing the numbers of British troops involved with immediate effect. We will not be part of any conflict which risks allowing people in Britain to become 'collateral damage'. We will not forsake our citizens outside of Britain, and will end negotiations to return sovereignty of Gibraltar to Spain. We will defend British farmers in Zimbabwe, and our citizens all over the world.
