This is the Coffee House Wall for this week. I won’t say that it is your chance to communicate with us, as we are all in this together. It is, nevertheless, the Conservative Blog post that has no particular theme, and where everything is on topic. Let’s just remember that we want to avoid ad hominem attacks on others. We don’t want to engage with trolls. We want to moderate our language ourselves as responsible and mature adults, choosing to use fruity language only where it is necessary. This is our opportunity to show what the Spectator Coffee House Wall could have been like.

Blair is correct on some issues.
From the mail on line.
He warns that the roots of IS go deep into Muslim society, parts of which have an ‘innately hostile’ view of the West, and says the extent of extremist teaching in the UK and elsewhere is ‘much more frightening than you would think’. He adds: ‘The problem is not that we’re facing a fringe of crazy people, a sort of weird cult confined to a few fanatics. If it was, we could probably root it out, kill or imprison its leaders, deter its followers and close the doors to new recruits.
‘The problem is that we’re facing a spectrum of opinion based on a world view which stretches far further into parts of Muslim society.’
Blair…embracing the cold douche of realism? Saying the hitherto unsayable (well, in his limited world view)?
Do I feel the world wobbling on its axis?
It’s long but worth reading.

Almost unnoticed has been Labour’s policy proposals in the wake of the Rotherham child rape scandal. A couple of days ago Yvette Cooper, Shadow Home Secretary announced that Labour policy will be for the provision of compulsory relationship lessons for all children. This despite the fact that all the officials and police who failed to act in Rotherham were leftists with excellent feminist credentials.
No journalist reacted to Labour’s more-of-the-same anti-solution because of how isidious and widely held are their liberal beliefs.
There’s a good post on that called: Liberal Monsters at:

Didn’t the three party leaders rushing to Scotland to promise anything to get the right result for themselves , seem just a little bit like Muslim vote rigging ???
Much is being said and written on the rights (there are none) and the wrongs, of the 40 or so Labour Scottish MP’s voting at Westminster on matters that only concern the English but no mention is made of the 11 LibDems that represent Scottish seats who also vote on English matters, also there is has been no mention of the 26 Labour MP’s and the 3 LibDem MP’s who represent 29 of the 40 Welsh constituencies who also vote against or for measures that do not concern the Welsh.
This is wrong, as is the imbalance of some English constituencies where Labour has an unfair advantage, the nasty Nick Clegg reneged on his promise to help the Conservatives correct this matter.
But there is one further area of imbalance that is rarely mentioned that is the number of MP’s that each country of the UK send to Westminster as a % of the population.
Currently England has 83.9% Scotland 8.4% Wales 4.8% Northern Ireland 2.9% of our population there are 650 MP’s England has 533 = 82% Scotland 59 = 9.07% Wales 40 = 6.15% Northern Ireland 18 = 2.76% from this it is clear that Scotland and Wales have too many constituencies and England and Northern Ireland too few.
Well, well, well.
You had us all worried for a few weeks there you Limeys.
A Scottish divorce would have been as much a disaster as Manhattan declaring divorce from New York.

Booker’s right, the out of the EU lot must put their act together otherwise they’ll end not unlike the Salmond’s crowd.
If one looks at the three main reasons for the two Scottish camps (see the link) it shows the main reason for getting out (70% of those voting yes said so) was ‘the principle that all decisions about Scotland should be taken in Scotland’. The main reason for voting no (47% of those voting no said so) was that ‘the risk of becoming independent looked too great when it came to things like the currency, the EU membership, the economy, jobs and prices’.
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/20/scottish-independence-lord-ashcroft-poll
The same may apply when the vote on the EU membership comes along. It’s also what Baron fears. Those whose priority is jobs, the economy, the cost of money and stuff like will outnumber those who cling to the what seems increasingly an ‘outdated’ idea of independence, sovereignty, national heritage.
John Alexander 13:20
What could one expect from the pseudo-liberal progressives than more of the same, John when the solution’s bleeding obvious without further indoctrination of the young minds. Those in authority should uphold the law, it’s that simple.
John birch @ 11:15
The rant sits comfortably alongside similar ones Baron has come across, John, and smells very much like the scribblings of Adolf in his Mein Kamph manifesto. Those in charge then thought it was the ramblings of a madman until the Nazis unleashed an institutionalised construct of the evil on the world.
The political elites of the free world just don’t seem to learn from history until it’s too late.
John Jefferson Burns September 22nd, 2014 – 18:14
“Well, well, well.
You had us all worried for a few weeks there you Limeys.”
Alex Salmond dreamed of a Scottish Socialist Republic, David Cameron used him as the bait to trap Ed Miliband and it worked.
Whilst not denying the terrible tragedy of Hillsborough, 25 years later we hear recounted what everybody knew or could guess at: (at least a large number of) the sainted Liverpool fans were ‘frantic’,’gripped by mania’, ‘jumping over turnstiles’ … and of course pissed.
No doubt there was some serious prior misjudgment by the police management – this was after all back in the days of regular football hooliganism – and perhaps panicky mistakes by some of the the footsoldiers on the day – followed by clearly disreputable attempts to shift responsibility.
The poor victims, who had presumably got into the ground in good time were surely blameless.
But the root cause was always pissed up idiots behaving like lunatics.
Kelvin and Boris were right.
Baron,
It is not that the political elites are unable to learn the lessons of history, they are totally ignorant of the discipline, either that or they are of a malevolence that chills the blood. For my part the jury is still out and I have pawned my crystal ball.

What is UKIP policy on Police and Crime Commissioners – the most idiotic innovation by government since the imposition of the CPS, both equally destructive to law ‘n’ order? I note that the Labour Party, if elected, now intends to scrap it and replace it with ‘something else’. I suggest that UKIP policy should be to scrap it – period! Waste of money and adds yet another conduit for corruption and political finagling. The Met. Commissioner and Chief Constables should be held accountable only by the Home Secretary acting on behalf of HM the Queen.

“the out of the EU lot must put their act together otherwise they’ll end not unlike the Salmond’s crowd.”
Ye’re right…that’s what screwed it for Salmond, they’d all become navel-gazers, believing everything their acolytes told them.
The ‘better off out’ campaign had better start putting together a real plan to fight this now, because they have to work on two generations that have known nothing but EU beneficence, and put together a real case to show that leaving the EU now would NOT be like returning to 1973, as Labour will surely pitch it.
Frank P. what is your view of ACPO? Do you think that senior officers should be able to form what is essentially a political organisation?
O(o). I think that the SNP lost the election because after 20 years of leadership by Salmond they hadn’t actually developed a plan for becoming independent. They had all the time in the world. They could have taken the best advice. They failed to do so, and so deserved to lose the vote.

UKIP was against this further level of Cameron devised quangocracy but recognised the status quo and fielded candidates in the PCC elections, through gritted teeth. They have proved to be the self serving, corrupt and useless faux posts we all suspected they would be. A prime example being the double expenses claiming, labour bureaucracy, mission perverting Clive Grunshaw, the’Shame of Lancashire, whose diary might, at a pinch mange three farcical meetings a week for the £85k he’s paid to prevent the course of justice. The CC, Finnigan is the useless sod who cocked up the Charlene Downes ‘kebab’ murder prosecution, to the extent that the defendants got £500,000 in compensation each for having their time wasted.
Who said crime doesn’t pay?
Whether UKIP, inherently a small government party, makes a statement on the existence of PCC’s in the policy role out at Doncaster, remains to be seen. I for one certainly hope so.
Peter Hitchens raises some legitimate concerns regarding Cameron’s ‘crafty’ little scene to wrong foot Labour in his blog yesterday.
He raises valid Burkeaan constitutional issues about changing the role and responsibilities of MPs, whilst acknowledging that MPs freedom of conscience s nearly dead in the age of pre-selection and the Party Whip.
On the hoof policy making never works, the changes Cameron is proposing will not address the fundament constitutional problem we suffer from, it will merely create new ones.
In Kent our PCC decided to introduce a Youth Commissioner, which was even less desired by the population than her own post. Both have had issues that were undiagnosed before their appointment. The first had published “racist” youtube clips and the second is in an affair with a much older member of the council. Both are children and have nothing meaningful to add to the post of PCC.

The P&CC issue coupled with the increasingly irritating and insidious spectre of ACPO is worthy of a ‘proper post’. I’ll hack it about for a couple of days in cold blood and see what emerges from my increasingly boggled and depressed grey matter and scratchy digital quill.

Thanks for the info on UKIPs take on P&CCs. There is a delicious irony in Labour capitalizing on the Shaun Wright debacle. Cameron should have made a statement of mea culpa during the period that Wright held on doggedly and declared intent to legislate forthwith to dump the whole shebang, admitting the original mistake. Now Miliminor has grabbed what would have been a welcome initiative by the Tories. Pathetic!

It seems unbelievable to me that DLT is being threatened with a 10 year prison term for groping a woman’s br@ast, once, over her clothes, 20 years ago.
Yet tens of thousands of white British girls have been r@ped and abused over the same 20 years with little or no justice. And thousands of immigrant girls are being genit@lly mutilated and no one is in prison for it.
It was dismaying to read recently that even the Pope seems to have a touch of Political Correctness Disease. That is evidenced by his recently saying that extremist Islamists are “perverting” Islam.
Is it not obvious that far from perverting Islam, ISIS and Al Qaeda are the genuine, true Islam? To put it another way, are not ISIS and Al Qaeda the equivalent of wolves that have discarded their sheep’s clothing?

“It seems unbelievable to me that DLT is being threatened with a 10 year prison term for groping a woman’s br@ast, once, over her clothes, 20 years ago.”
Let us not forget that he was found innocent of all previous charges at a previous trial.
But then three further complaints were made of which one he has been found innocent, one the jury could not decide and so he is innocent but on the third charge of touching a women’s breasts in a BBC corridor he has been found guilty by a ten to two majority.
She has kept her anonymity, why? They say she has a job in the media, someone should put her name on line.
That would be illegal;although whether the Telegraph is guilty of contempt for publishing information that could allow it to be known is another matter:and I’m sure we all condemn them for this.
ALSO the Daily Mail and the BBC.
Herbert, I am afraid that far from having a touch of political correctness, the Pope of Rome is quite probably entirely infected by it.

Reynolds misses the key point, Ostrich, it ain’t really the style, the walking about,(most of) the interruptions, it’s the prism through which the programme (or rather the monstrosity overall) looks at each and every issue. If one believes people cause global warming, if that take informs the stance of whoever it is who sits in Jeremy’s chair, if that view also selects the guests then whatever else the interviewer may or may not do is of secondary importance.

That’s the same strategy they’ve been adopting since the Sir Jimmy story broke, John, they enlarge the field of wrongdoers, go after as many as possible, charge near everyone of the male gender to dilute what really is the most abhorrent behaviour of a well defined universe of culprits. Here it’s the same, blowing up an act that in the times it happened would have been dealt with a smack, or a kick in the groins, whilst sweeping under the carpet a truly vile conduct of those whose ‘grievances we haven’t yet fully addressed’, to use the definition furnished by the great Steyn.

How dreadful the BBC News has become. Just recently we have been haunted by news from Scotland and film of Salmond, Sturgeon and every mudfish that lives in the depths of the murky waters of Loch Ness. Now we have that grease ball Milliband, complete with his weird hairdo, common presentation, and adoring wife. What she can see in him frankly horrifies me.
Forgot to mention, re Milliband. His teeth are a cross between a cheap old-fashioned music hall artiste and a vulgar imitation of Dracula.

O(o) – maybe just the crescent – dripping blood? I am perfectly aware of the last time a religion had to ‘show their faith’ and both recognise and accept the veiled criticism (?). But surely only the mildly demented could ever consider Judaism as a threat. I must have missed something in my life, but I cannot understand anti-Semitism. I would be grateful if somebody could enlighten me as to why this particular religion is held in such disdain by so many. Perhaps (PfM), it has something to do with the later stages of Christianity and matters in the dim and distant past?
Whereas Islam is a true threat to all humanity in the here and now.

Are any Wallsters bothered that the snake oil salesman, Cameron is proposing to start bombing Iraq again tomorrow?

I hope that in the debate in the House of Commons there will be as many bothered by this new attempt by other means to destroy the Assad government as was the case in April last year when Mr. Cameron lost the vote for military action against Syria then tabled on the false pretext that Assad had used chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
I also expect that there will be at least one member of parliament ready to draw to the attention of the House and of the country that ISIS (aka Al Qaeda, ISIL, IS, Islamic State,Al-Nusra etc) has been established, funded, trained, and armed by the United States and NATO and various muslim allies of the same.
It is not possible that the Prime Minister does not know this. Therefore any deaths of British servicemen consequent on a successful vote for military action this time will be his personal responsibility.

“But surely only the mildly demented could ever consider Judaism as a threat. I must have missed something in my life, but I cannot understand anti-Semitism.”
It wasn’t until the second Vatican Council that the Catholic church unequivocally absolved the Jews of guilt for the murder of Jesus Christ. But folk memory lasts a lot longer…
O (o),
How terribly generous for the Catholic Church to absolve the Jews from guilt for the death of Jesus. The guilt of the Jews was cobbled together by St. Paul, eager to sell his version of Christ’s teaching to the gentiles, it was a lie, as Paul, a Roman citizen would have been perfectly aware of. A capital sentence could only be passed by the Roman authority, in this case Pontius Pilate, who through his wife was related to the Imperial Family.
O(o) – do you seriously seek to tell me that two centuries of hatred, the holocaust and the current middle eastern situation are down to the fact that one bunch of fairy tale followers consider a character purported to be a believer of a different version of the fairy tale caused the death of the main protagonist in their version of the fairy tale? Further, the sand-niggers are going around killing anybody and everybody on the basis that theirs is the ‘correct’ version of the fairy tale, because some epileptic paedophile said so and killed anybody who disagreed with him and his mates?
It strikes me religion has more to answer for than even Tony Blair.

@Clear Memories 26th, – 05:01
“two centuries of hatred, the holocaust and the current middle eastern situation”
Being a bit selective about the origins of antisemitism, aren’t we? Stephen Maybery at 23:59 gives some useful context.
And as for the sand-niggers, how do you think they felt in the period between the Balfour declaration and the creation of the state of Israel, when they found themselves on the receiving end of an ever-increasing flood of Jewish immigrants/refugees/zionists/economic migrants. (delete as appropriate).
O(o)
If the basis of anti-Semitism is truly founded upon the facet of the fairytale that Judas betrayed Jesus, resulting in his crucifiction, then I draw your attention to the latter part of the word – fiction.
You cannot base generational hate over centuries upon an unproven story. It’s beyond stupid.
And I care not a jot how the sand-niggers felt (as I care not a jot now they feel to this day), the key point is that, based upon a fairy story, which they subscribe to, they were inflicted with the believers that preceded their interpretation of the fairy story – accept the story, accept Judas betrayed Jesus, accept Israel is their homeland.
Simples.
On the other hand, deny the story, refuse to sign up to the stupidity and adopt the situation for what it is. Mental defectives that have evolved into a death cult. Without falling into the same trap, we must adopt a position where those that “believe” are pitied and, if possible, treated. Those that can’t be assimilated into a society based upon logic and evidence are terminated before they inflict sickness upon others.
Close the churches, burn down the mosques, they are no different from the witchcraft that exist still in PNG. Lock up the Pope with the Dalai Lama. Let us be done with religion once and for all. It has nothing to offer but chaos, malice and death – death which claims to lead to a better place, one that does not exist.
And underpinning all the above nonsense is of course the fact that Muslims cannot ever forgive the Jews in particular for being less than convinced that Big Mo was not sent by Big Al as their promised final prophet. For this natural human, presumably god-given, skepticism they deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth. Followed by everybody else.
@CM 10:42
“You cannot base generational hate over centuries upon an unproven story. It’s beyond stupid.”
Of course you can. Just because it’s ‘beyond stupid’ doesn’t mean it can’t/doesn’t happen. And there are plenty of examples from the last thousand years of western history too, Ireland’s a fine example of that, as is Yugoslavia. And nobody may actually be going to war over red and white roses, but it’s still remembered with bitterness, nor let anybody believe that, across the pond, the “War between the States” is truly over yet.
O(o) – surely this means that we should all work together to overcome and destroy all religions, not just the mad fuckers from the desert?
We should agitate to stop ‘prayers’ at the start of all political/public functions. If you watch parliament TV from the start, it opens as a politically-correct (black) twat walks out of the chamber ie proceedings start with a religious procedure we are not allowed to see!
Religion needs to be removed from public life, from schools, from the courts, from everywhere. Instead of concentrating upon ISIL to the extent we are, we should be concentrating our efforts on disentangling politics from interference by the god-botherers. Fairy-tale believers have no place in serious public life.

Heh, heh, heh. No prisoners there then. A cold shower of reality after the tsunami of nauseating, acrobatic, amoral bullshit emanating from today’s pantomime at the Westminster gasworks. And from all political stripes the overriding message that Islam is ‘a religion of peace which must be assisted in controlling a band of its own renegades who have perverted their wonderful religion’. In other words we must assist Islam to hasten world domination by demographics and political infiltration and thereby capitulate the their aims of a worldwide caliphate.

As expected the sheep did as they were told.
Still, it’s far easier for David Cameron and his collies to attack the hydra headed enemy currently beheading our fellow citizens in Iraq and Syria with £1,500,000 bombs, than it is to try, execute and deport the muslim terrorists and their allies beheading British soldiers on the streets of London
Just as it easier for our cowardly politicians to weep crocodile tears over the rape and enslavement of Syrian Christian and Yazidi girls than to act over the mass rape and enslavement of British girls in Northern and Central England.
So, let’s congratulate them on taking the low road whilst we bicker amongst ourselves over whether all religions should be banned, or just the one, fast breeding one, the ‘religion of peace’.

One hopes there will be a vast array of halal food on display for the ‘friendly peaceful neighbours’ 20 miles north. Wouldn’t want to offend their ‘religious’ sensibilities, would we? After all, there could well be a few butchers knives within easy reach of the offended.
Anjem Choudary released from custody I. told you so. What is the point of attacking IS in Iraq when their adherents are permitted to run amok on the UK mainland? And why are they to be attacked in Iraq and not in Syria where their headquarters are situated? doubtless the fools who rule us have plausible explanations for this. Why is Choudary allowed to remain in this country? Edward Snowden, who has done more damage to Western interests since Kim Philby was stripped of his US citizenship, the same should be done to Choudary, and if there are laws preventing this then a law should be enacted to allow this to happen.
Is Mark being Reckless, or exhibiting the kind of political bravery that could turn the tide?
Certainly Farage’s timing has trumped Cameron’s attempt to overshadow the UKIP conference by timing the Parilamentary vote on IS to coincide.

any news on whether there will be a by-election yet?
This is only for the connoisseurs of the Ukraine saga, the fate of the MH17 in particular. It comes courtesy of German public broadcasting, which carried a summary of what would be the equivalent of a Parliamentary answer here. The questions were put by the left leaning Die Linke opposition, who wanted to find what the German Government knew for sure about the downing of the plane.
Question 11: Does the German Government posses any recordings done by the two AWACs planes that were in the air on July 17 (the planes flew over Polish and Rumanian airspace surveying Ukraine, the Donbas region specifically).
The answer was the two planes recorded two radar signals immediately before the downing of the MH17, one that cannot be identified (why?), the other that was automatically ‘booked’ by the system as ‘a surface to air missile SA3’ regularly picked up in the region.
Russia no longer has or operates any SA3 surface-to-air missiles, the Ukrainian Army still deploys SA3, a newer model S-125 and a modernized version of the S-125 named S-125-2D” Pechora.

Was Mark reckless in defecting? I think not. Cameron has accused him of being a traitor to the Tory party. Better a traitor to the Tories than a traitor to the country! Seriously, Cameron is crap. but the alternative? Could any Englishman vote for that greasey brother fu**er Milliband?
AWK1 – 16:03 ‘Recklessness?’
I do believe that Mark does come from a Reckless family but Mark himself is not reckless.
“Britain Goes To War”
blazes the Torygraph headline!
Hmm…
6 kites; no discernible strategy; can’t define the enemy; unclear whether our ‘allies’ in the ‘war’ are in fact really our enemies (and that’s the POTUS and his cabal I’m talking about, never mind the dodgy A-rabs that are using Cameron as a cat’s paw) and finally refusing to accept the inimical source of the problem – the death cult of Mohammedenism, described by our mendacious leaders as the RoP.
Britain Goes to Whore
… would have been my headline.
Conservative minister resigns over sex scandal
Brooks Newmark, the Conservative minister for civil society, resigns after being caught sending explicit photographs of himself to women over the internet

Noa – 15:49 ‘Stop Denying the Obvious’
I do like this bit:
“Last week, I [Geert Wilders] proposed in the Dutch Parliament that we ask an oath of all people from Islamic countries who wish to be members of our society. In the oath they have to explicitly distance themselves from Sharia law and the violent verses in the Koran. Those who do not want to take the oath are no longer welcome. They should leave our country at once.”
It should also include descendants from those countries but, only in exceptional circumstances would Jews and Christians be required to make the declaration.
Elected MEPs, MPs and Country, District and Unitary councillors connected with the cult should be among the first included, as should all those involved with mosque ‘activities’. And why not include all those employed in educational establishments? It might help drain the swamp in Birmingham.
I think the there should be some consideration given to who should be at the front of the queue. There are many candidates in the in the House of Commons and House of Lords as well as in QUANGOs.
I would like to see, at the front:
Rowan Williams, former AoC
Aaqil Ahmed, Commissioning Editor Religion and Head of Religion & Ethics at the BBC,
Nazir Afzal, the CPS’s lead on child sexual abuse, and
Javed Khan, Barnardo’s CEO.
So brroks newmark (never heard of him) has been sending nob pix to ladies
I imagine they are upset to receive pix of cameron 🙂

Were any of Newmark’s selfies this reckless?

As always, really enjoy & look forward to your comments: very thought provoking.
I agree, though being a Christian, a complete & absolute separation of church & State is my definite preferred option too.
Re-anti-Semitism: I doubt it has anything to do with Roman Catholic doctrine. In my opinion, most sensible people in the West would be broadly “Zionist”, in that a Jewish Homeland is necessary.
However, I think anti-Semitism is rooted in envy: despite bigotry in most societies, the Jewish diaspora have been inordinately successful. Just look at the USA: most successful nation of all time and look at relative demographic make-up of the Supreme Court, the Federal Reserve and Hollywood CEOs. This, despite most Jewish immigration having been a relatively recent phenomenon.
Alexsandre,
Tory wanker sending nob pictures to a lady, what is going on here? perhaps the Cons are running out of kiddie fiddlers. What can the fool be thinking of? or, more pertinently, what was he thinking with? One can assume Mr. Newmark, assuredly an upstanding MP, did not make the photo available to the World despite an obvious pride in his accoutrements, therefore it must have been the object of his desires. Be assured we have not heard the end of this, either she will sell her story to the tabloids, or, if they will not pay up, sue the upstanding Mr. Newman for sexual harassment twenty years in the future. What a cockup.
Another reason for allying with rather than against Russia:

By the way, I heard yesterday that Mr. Putin’s long-term aim is to return Hagia Sophia to the Orthodox Church – by jingo!
The Conservative Party needs not renewal or modernization;it needs a return to standard conservative values.
The European Union can not be reformed:Europe needs to be transformed.
This I get from an interview with Vaclav Klaus (former prime minister,then President, of `Czecherland`in the Spectator:(free to view).

Spectator reports on Bishop Kieran having affairs with two women,one of them married.This from a Liberal Bishop who bullied more traditionalist parishes.

Re mine at 01-46 .
The word *virtues* should be substituted for the word `values`.
We saw what happened when John Major used the word `values`.

I asked my husband who was worse, Blair, Cameron or Miliband, He gave his opinion on the first two, and regarding the Millipede said the wretch was a caricature of himself!
On September 24th, the great Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah, Michael Savage gives a rambling personal but moving defence of the foundation of our Judaeo-Christian civilization and a compelling denunciation of the homicidal psychosis of islam:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojGiXwzboTA
I like the idea that kindness is at the heart of value and that God needs us to exis t in order that he can be worshipped – something of which of course the plants and other animals are incapable.
His prescription for dealing with islam is to annihilate the extremists and insist on the reformation of the koran to remove its murderous content – something of a major undertaking by the way in view of the proportion that such content forms of the whole.
Recognition of the homicidal tenets of islam must be demanded of our politicians – not to mention such religious and ethical leaders as we have.

A sad day:
“Hong Kong “has changed to a new era so the people have to be awakened. It’s no longer the old Hong Kong,” said one protester, W.T. Chung, 46, who yelled at police officers after they used the tear gas.” (Breitbart)
For those of you, like me, who were wondering what British interest was at stake to warrant the Prime Minister recommending military action against Al Qaeda/IS/ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State/Daesh/al-Nusra in Iraq and Syria , Mr. Cameron happily has responded:
“I want to address each of those questions head on—first, our national interest. Is there a threat to the British people? The answer is yes. ISIL has already murdered one British hostage and is threatening the lives of two more.”
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201415/cmhansrd/cm140926/debtext/140926-0001.htm#1409266000001
Could it be however that the real aim of setting up ISIS to knock it down is the overthrow of the Assad regime in Damascus?
Mr. Cameron has also suggested that any person framing “conpiracy theories” may be a non-violent extremist. To tackle this newly identified menace, Mr. Cameron is proposing the appointment by the United Nations of a Mr. I. M. A. Jobsworth as “a new Special Representative on extremism”.
https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-speech-at-the-un-general-assembly-2014
I hope that the new Special Representative will begin his work by summoning for cross-examination General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, to enquire into his spreading of the poisonous allegation recently that some United States allies were funding ISIL. An enquiry should also be pressed into the identity of the “informed Jordanian sources” who allege that US military instructors trained Takfiri militants of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) at a secret base in Jordan in 2012. (h/t PressTV). And that investigation might include looking into pernicious allegations that NATO is to arm ISIL to fight ISIL. (h/t Daily Mash).
That should keep the Special Investigator spinning for long enough to allow all the “non-violent extremists” on the Coffeehouse Wall UK to make good their escape.
