Now the government is thinking about deporting preachers who encourage hate. Did it really take 50 plus dead for these people to finally do what every one of the rest of us has wanted them to do ever since they started spilling their poison?

Yes, it did take 50 plus to die. Even while we debate the pros and cons of the religious hatred laws this inept and dishonourable government just couldn’t bring itself to upset the feelings of Muslims who were already comfortably in their stride of praising suicide bombers, racially abusing Israelis and calling for all sorts of calamities to befall the UK/US/Western powers/infidels in general.

Our ‘leaders’ have continually put the sensibilities of hate-crazed mullahs before the lives of British citizens. Blair sucks up to British Muslims as if they actually want foreign Muslims coming to the UK and espousing hate and violence. If I were a British Muslim I’d feel degraded to know Blair thinks that I’ll be upset with him if he condemns racist hatred and religious violence.

FromThe Times:

Charles Clarke today said that he was prepared to implement any practical measures - including deportation of radical preachers - to protect Britain against a repeat of the July 7 bombings.

The British Home Secretary said it must be assumed there are others prepared to carry out similar suicide attacks.

“I think we have to organise ourselves on a basis that there are other people prepared to act in this way and we have to protect ourselves in the best way we can against that,” Mr Clarke said.

“We have to assume there are others ready to do the kind of things these people did last Thursday.”

Labour would never contemplate acting against Muslims in this way if there hadn’t been this outrage. People have to die before Labour will act against a perverse minority of such a large, generally pro-Labour voting block. But that they’d now even contemplate acting in such a way shows that they’re panicing. Now that people have been massacred Labour will put aside their reluctance to upset apologists for terrorism so they can look like they’re doing something.

We’ve always known this vile minority - British and foreign - were stirring things up in this country. Only Labour - desperate for the Muslim vote and believing - wrongly, in my view - that decent Muslims would be upset at the deportation of foreign hate-mongers - seems to have ‘thought’ otherwise.

Still, Clarke couldn’t resist multi-cultural grandstanding. He

“…said that the core values of Britain’s “democratic, multicultural” society were at stake.”

Ah, the multicultural society… Look, Clarke, we - that is, blacks, browns and whites - want to be safe first. It’s the obsession with minority sensitivities - and the insulting assumption that these minorities are incapable of recognising the practicalities of life and instead prefer victimhood whenever they’re mentioned - that means we don’t tackle this kind of problem in our midst in the first place.

Similar nonsense form Clarke on the BBC site:

But he argued the anti-terror strategy had to address the fact that ideology, not poverty, was the driving force behind such attacks.

“It’s ensuring that the whole of the Muslim community, supported by the whole of the society, stands out against this sort of belief.”

How does the rest of society ’support’ the Muslim one in standing against this sort of belief? I’m already against it and have always been. What more can I do? A hateful ideology has always existed on the Islamic fringes in the UK. Is he saying Muslims have usually been for it but now need to mend their ways?

Back at The Times report we learn that Clarke wants to be able to use email and telecoms data against terrorists in order to track their communications and plans. But first he’s going to have to get permission to do this from the institution that runs the United Kingdom - the British Parliament European Union - because, currently, such measures would be in breach of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights - the right of terrorists to do just whatever it is they please without fear of detection.

How many of us have to die before Labour decides to withdraw us from the Human Rights Act?
