THE BRITISH INQUISITION
14 February 2005
With a budget of £172m per annum, and now run by Lord Kinnock, one of the most recent of Labour’s Nouveau Toffs, the British Council is funding the Common Ground exhibition, which has already been shown in Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. It is expected to be shown in Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates in the near future.
The exhibition involves pictures of Muslim youngsters under a hoarding scrawled with racist graffiti, and other grim urban settings. The British Council alleges that the exhibition represents life in Britain for many Muslims.
An introductory essay by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (a Marxist who recently returned her OBE) alleges: ‘Too many young Muslims are emotionally homeless. Racism makes them believe they cannot belong in Britain’.
The photographer, Anthony Lam, who supplied many of the photographs, said that he wanted to criticise Britain’s asylum system and undermine traditional images of Britain.
The purpose of the British Council, which was set up in 1934, was to promote Britain to overseas countries. It has, as have so many other government institutions, been hijacked by the politically correct communist left as a means of attacking Britain and the English in particular.
As we are supposed to be fighting a war on terror, this exhibition, which can do nothing other than encourage anti-British hatred amongst Muslims, can only be helpful to Al Qaeda and other anti-Western terrorist groups and their supporters.
The exhibition was, thankfully, condemned by the Muslim Council of Britain.
