NEC Statement - Terror attack in London - ReadingLib - 03-23-2017

The Liberal Party UK is deeply saddened by the loss of life in what is being treated as an act of terror in London. Our sympathy goes out to victims of the attack and to their families and loved ones. 

Whilst it is too early to understand what motivated this attack, we condemn a recourse to violence and terror as a means to promote any cause.

The Liberal Party supports initiatives, both government and community based, that seek to address social and political issue which draw otherwise law abiding citizens towards senseless acts of violence within our democratic society.

Engaging with those elements of British society who are likely to be led astray by extremist views requires a proactive and multi-agency approach. This should be aimed at bringing together community leaders, politicians, the police and the intelligence services, to guide such individuals back into the mainstream political process.
