Hmm. [Link] Half an hour before Theresa May spoke from outside 10 Downing Street, Faisal Islam of Sky News was recorded on camera speaking to another reporter about the week ahead in regards to the election. During this conversation they agree that the dreadful attack plays into the tories hands. The conversation agrees that Jeremy has been portrayed as a "terrorist Sympathiser" and how the media linking him to the IRA will help this rhetoric and the Tory spin given the media mentioning the last attack on Manchester being by the IRA. They nearly sound hopeful that Theresa will not be political but 'Prime Ministerial'. Not the same cynicism that they spoke with about Corbyn, showing their bias to play along the Tory line. This shows how the media do not believe Corbyn to be any of the above but will be happy to portray him as such and work with the tories for tory benefit.

We are just signing up for decade upon decade of Muslims who live in relative isolation and are more likely to become radicalised as a result. If government is serious about keeping citizens safe then something has to change.

More Tory manifesto s**e... [Link] Conservatives backtrack on £60m for primary school breakfasts Freddie Whittaker \| 12:41, May 24, 2017 1 Conservatives backtrack on £60m for primary school breakfasts The Conservative Party has admitted that a key manifesto commitment to provide breakfasts for every primary school pupil in England could cost far more than the £60 million initially promised. In a second embarrassing U-turn for the party following the debacle over its social care plans, the Conservatives now say the costs of providing breakfasts “will vary depending on how many pupils at any given school take up this offer”. The party said in an official statement the night before its manifesto launch last week that the policy would cost £60 million, but is now refusing to confirm the figure, leaving the policy uncosted, and prompting questions about its affordability. It comes after Schools Week analysis revealed the party’s original costings would mean giving schools the equivalent of less than 7p per pupil to pay for breakfasts. Education Datalab analysis shows that if only half of pupils take up free breakfasts at a cost of 25p each, the likely cost of the policy would be more than £400 million. The u-turn calls into question the party’s ability to deliver on its promise to pump extra general revenue funding into schools. The Conservatives pledged last week to increase the school budget by £4 billion in real-terms over the next parliament. But it said the extra £1 billion a year needed to do so would be found through savings, including taking £650 million from the scrapped free lunches for infants. The additional money is supposed to provide protection for schools against rising costs and ensure no schools lose out as a result of the new national funding formula. However, if the cost of breakfast clubs spirals, there is no guarantee schools won’t be forced to use some or all of the additional funding received under the Conservatives’ plans to fund them. A Conservative spokesperson confirmed the party will “ensure that all primary schools can offer a free school breakfast to every child in every year of primary school”, adding that evidence shows this is “a cost-effective way to improve education and health results for pupils”. “The costs will vary depending on how many pupils at any given school take up this offer,” the spokesperson added.*

I think banning an incoming religion would be a last resort. According to Sam Harris the problem is around 15 percent...While we know the problems with the mainstream religion most of its adherents just don't support murdering people. I think we need to back Islamic reform here.....We have to make it clear that we will deport people and strip them of nationality far more easily. We need to actually take action on the extremists here instead of just tracking them and then pointing fingers when the less obvious ones attack us. 'Who are you and how did you get in here?

I post about what I see as the manipulation of what you call British Thought by those with agendas that aren't in the interests of those being manipulated. As for a plan, tighter controls on online material directly referencing extremist views and tracking of access to that material would be a start. As would getting out of any involvement (that includes arming and training) in the killing of children in, say, Yemen or Syria. I'd also stop pandering to Qatar, Saudi and the like and start a programme of Gibraltar-style operations to kill the key promulgators of extreme violent hate. One wonders why our governments allow terrorist armies to operate in plain sight and then cry crocodile tears when those sharing the terrorists' worldview kill people much closer to home.

Human rights law changed to make deportation easier and stripping of nationality so they can't come back.....So far we have only done this with the very worst of cases and it took years to enact through the courts. That has to change. No more sanctuary for extremists. If you don't wish to accept the British way of life you may have your right to reside here revoked. Edited by Stirlingsays (24 May 2017 7.44pm) Thanks for the easy to access summary :-) Closing ALL religious schools is something I'd love to see happen, and I went to Catholic schools. Hmm. The "friendly" Islamic countries are the ones exporting the hatred, so not sure about that. I agree on the principle of revocation of UK access rights / status upon conviction of certain offences, although that would be tough to implement more widely. Wouldn't hurt to try. However, how do you start to define a "British Way of Life" test and ensure it's universal? Where do you deport a fail if they are nothing other than a British national? I'd set the bar at "anyone owning a Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich shirt" for example. Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)
