THE WAR ON TERROR
The final sentence of the June bonus ‘Quote of the Month’ reads: ‘This illegitimate Labour government is pouring fuel onto the flames of Islamic extremism’. It is with regret that that comment has been so sadly reinforced by events.
Yesterday's terrorist outrage, in which more than 50 people were killed, was unexpected - although we have been continually warned that something like this would happen. But despite that warning, the government has not conducted a war on terror.
Successive Tory and Labour governments have been content not only to allow or even promote mass immigration, but also to allow thousands of known terrorists to enter the UK. The Tories let in so many, that the French referred to London as being ‘Londonistan’.
More recently, despite the so-called war on terror, Ken Livingston invited Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi into the UK (and the Metropolitan Police were involved in the funding of this) even though he was openly advocating terrorism.
Labour is obsessed with so-called ‘Islamophobia’ and is introducing a law to reinforce this obsession.
Still Labour will not stop the tidal wave of so-called asylum seekers being allowed into this country. The numbers of illegal immigrants in the UK remains huge. The government’s estimate is up to 570,000 and this figure totally ignores up to another 772,000 asylum seekers!
It is impossible to conduct any war on terror in such circumstances.
The ordinary British people have shown their usual stoicism, and the politicians are repeating their standard assurances that they will not give in to terrorism. But if the war on terror is to be won then a reversal of government policy is necessary.
The 1951 UN Convention should be unilaterally repealed and the UK should refuse to accept any asylum seekers. There is no neighbouring country which has a government which would give rise to genuine refugees. So-called asylum seekers from other continents are emigrating to the UK through choice. We should concentrate on helping genuine refugees in their own or neighbouring countries.
All illegal immigrants and terrorist sympathisers of foreign origin should be deported.
The supply of funding to organised crime networks should be cut off. That includes not only immigration (eg false ID cards and people trafficking) but also drug smuggling. The tolerance of drugs such as cannabis must end.
The British Inquisition should be shut down and race war politics abandoned. The government should stop telling Muslims that they are victims and that antagonism towards the indigenous host British community is justified.
Thus far, there are no signs of these changes happening. One ex-MI5 officer spoke of having to live with such terrorist events unless there is to be the introduction of more draconian restrictions. This is defeatist nonsense. This new threat, whether it be home grown or not, has been created by fanatics who should be deported or imprisoned. It is not an act of nature like the weather. Terrorist networks can be destroyed.
The people are likely to rally around the government in the short term. But if this is the start of a sustained campaign which the government is unable/unwilling to defeat, then that support will ebb away. People back winners and not losers.
The IRA was bought off by the introduction of a new constitution in Northern Ireland (and also by the prospect of losing a terrorist war with the protestant paramilitaries) which guaranteed them positions in government. That is not possible in England with Al Qaeda. In that sense the government has much less room to manoeuvre.
