This Sceptered Isle... This Terror Sanctuary

England has been a bulldog in Iraq, but it continues to be soft and too delighted by its own "tolerance" when it comes to domestic policing of terrorists.

France takes internal terrorist threats seriously; despite a bit of tightening after 9-11, England still does not:

BEIRUT - When Islamic militants massacred 58 tourists in Egypt in 1997, the government issued a list of 14 most-wanted militants it accused of inspiring the attacks. Half were living in London, and none were arrested.

A year later, when suicide bombers attacked two U.S. embassies in East Africa, killing 224 people, three men with ties to Egyptian militant groups were arrested in London for circulating claims of responsibility. They are still fighting extradition to the United States.

For two decades, London has been a haven for Islamic militants fleeing crackdowns in the Middle East. Yesterday, for the first time, the city appeared to fall victim to Islamist violence.

...

"These militant networks kept growing for years, under the British government's nose," said a retired Egyptian security official who asked not to be named. "They were allowed to preach, to raise money and to send recruits to fight in militant causes all over the world."

Hopefully this will change. A committment to openness and tolerance should not be a suicide pact.

For the record, I once told an ex-girlfriend that a suicide pact should not be a committment to openness and tolerance.

This was before she was my ex-, of course.

I wonder why we broke up.

Cheers,

Italy is another country that is very tough on suspected terrorists. So the best place to go is the UK.

I believe as recently as May 23 or 24, there was a rally of Islamic jihadists attended by hundreds in London calling for the deaths of Blair and Bush. Nothing happened to these people and I would not rule out that some were probably involved in the bombings.

So strange - they are so notched up when it comes to staying alert to the threat of bombings and attacks, yet so loose when it comes to hanging on to those who would do them harm.

We were in London in August of 03, watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace. I was trying to find a trash can to toss an empty water bottle. Wasn't one in sight. I finally asked a cop where I could find one - he said there weren't any cause terrorists liked to put bombs in em.

Even at the rail stations, trash receptacles were clear plastic bags hanging from rings (so you could see what was in em).

It's funny about the French - overseas they'll suck the wang of any Tariq, Duat or Hamid with a koran and a kefiyeh, but at home they take remarkably little shit. Perhaps they are aware that they've already been infinltrated like crazy, but they seem to know how to get it done. If memory serves, the "Brits" (and I use the term loosely) released from Gitmo are all back on the street (or in the Tube, on a bus...) whereas the guys turned over to the Frogs just kind of disappeared....

Doesn't calling for the deaths of Blair and Bush and infidels in general violate one of Britons wacky hate crime laws? Sorry, I forgot, only white guys can commit hate crimes.

As Malcom X said when Kennedy was killed and that great fraud "Sitting Bullshit", aka Ward Churchill happily used without citation (of course) this is a case of chickens finally coming home to roost.

But I really must mention that Freeper today had a post quoting Molems as condeming the London bombings, while expressing fear that things may get hard for Moslems all over the world. This proves what I've been saying for decades: we should expel Moslems en masse and lean on the rest HARD to leave, we should harass, intimidate and generally make their lives as unpleasant as possible. This will not just get rid of a lot of current and future troublemakers, it will make them more angry at the terrorists who put them in such a position, than they are at us, for a change. Right now they're fat, sassy and arrogant. They know they'll be no retribution. We need to put the fear of God in them and maybe they'll stop supporting terrorism with the money they make here and start cooperating against terrorists.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
