@wood5y It's bureaucracy. The golden rule of Bureaucrats is: they need to justify their paycheck, whilst doing as little work as possible.

It's much easier for them to deal with a threat of grannies holding up signs than it is for them to deal with a threat like ISIS. They justify their paycheck either way. So they always choose to deal with the easiest job. As a result, the grannies are the job that gets dealt with.

Bureaucracy is why we have #brokenbritain
