May said Britain was "experiencing a new trend in the threat the country faces", adding: "As terrorism breeds terrorism and perpetrators are inspired to attack, not only on the basis of carefully constructed plots after years of planning and training, and not even as lone attackers radicalised online, but by copying one another and often using the crudest of means of attack.

"While we need to deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online, we must not forget about the safe spaces that continue to exist in the real world. Yes, that means taking military action to destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria. But it also means taking action here at home. While we have made significant progress in recent years, there is -- to be frank -- far too much tolerance of extremism in our country."

Prof Glees said "Strong actions are called for, and we have to show that Britain is not a soft touch," but adding that people in civil liberty groups as well as some members of the Conservative party will resist the tougher stand May is suggesting in the war on terrorism.

"I think this will be played out in the general election and it could increase Theresa May's chances in the election because she seemed to deliver a firm message to the people. The Conservatives are therefore likely to benefit as a result on Thursday. This is a national emergency and at such times people feel the need to rally around."

Glees said May's approach to tackling the way extremist propaganda was spread through the internet was the right approach, but doomed to failure.
