Prime Minister Theresa May said extremism has been tolerated for too long and signaled she’d seek new powers to root out terror, toughening her rhetoric after last night’s attack on London as she prepares for a general election in just four days.
“It is time to say, ‘enough is enough,”’ May told reporters outside her Downing Street office on Sunday. “There is -- to be frank -- far too much tolerance of extremism in our country.” Stamping it out “will require some difficult and often embarrassing conversations.”
