Window-dressing and horsecrap:

‘Britain’s government is setting up a new terrorism task force to tackle radical preachers and extremism, officials say, days after suspects apparently linked to extremist Islamist activists brutally killed a British soldier in a London street.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the group will look at whether new powers and laws are needed to clamp down on religious leaders and organisations who promote extremist messages and who target potential recruits in jails, schools and mosques…’

They’ve only had thirty years to address this problem. What’s more, the butcher had been “under surveillance” for something like EIGHT YEARS. Yet another Yes Minister “task force” isn’t going to fix the deep-seated culture of cowardice and denial.
UPDATE:  Mike at Cold Fury says it all.

Say ‘thank you’ to Julia Gillard come September…

‘GOVERNMENT figures have exposed a people smuggling industry worth up to $400 million amid revelations at least ten asylum seekers illegal immigrants released into the community have been charged, including with a mugging at knifepoint.
The government has also revealed it believes debt collectors for people smugglers illegal immigrants have arrived by boat and been sent to Nauru where they are allegedly threatening other asylum seekers for money they owe for their journey..’

‘A SUDDEN influx of African asylum seekers illegal immigrants on two boats in two days has sparked new questions about Australia’s border protection..’

(Author of Master and Commander, which was butchered by Hollywood) ) I just finished reading his “H.M.S. Surprise”. Brilliant!  Just dazzling. The intention was to just dip into it and save the book for later…six hours later I put it down. His descriptions of India leave C.S. Forester for dead.

Betrayal. Treason. Lies.

“It was an attack on Britain and it was also a betrayal of Islam. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act.”
David Cameron, liar and buffoon.
‘..Given this toxic British Muslim milieu, and its outward manifestations, the results of a 2010 YouGov poll of 2,152 ordinary non-Muslim adult Britons appear quite rational.  The online YouGov survey found that 58% of those questioned linked Islam with extremism, and 69% believed that it encourages the repression of women, while a mere 13% thought the creed was based upon peace, and only 6% associated Islam with justice.
Despite the continued Big Islamic Lie being enunciated by Britain’s political elites — most notably Prime Minister Cameron himself — the savage jihadist murder of Lee Rigby validates the legitimate concerns most ordinary Britons already had about normative Islam…’        via American Thinker ‘The Big Islamic Lie’
So, the obvious question is this: Just who does Cameron – and his party – represent?
