"TM"'s approach as Home Secretary has been to cut the police service (including armed police) despite clear warnings given by the police at the time. She accused the police who gave these warnings of "scaremongering" (her words).
As Home Secretary she allowed people - including kids like the one who killed children in Manchester - to travel to Libya and be trained as fighters in order to overthrow Gaddafi. The destruction of any semblance of order in Libya by western forces has led directly to IS.
As PM she continues to sell arms to the Saudis. She's now suppressed a report into how these groups are funded, but it is clear than Saudi Arabia funds and arms IS.
That's her approach. It sounds from all these terrified old people that you know of that her approach isn't working.
In contrast, Corbyn has pledged that if Labour get in they will increase police numbers by 10,000, security services by 1,000 and immediately stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia.
