As long as they don't come here bringing carnage to my country and trying to change centuries of civilisation with their primitive and ignorant superstitions no problem.

Interestingly there have been more sucessful prosecutions in the UK for assault by bacon than for FGM thanks to p.c. PC Plod, but then he wasn't too keen on prosecuting mass rape and sexual abuse of cbildren by Pakistani mini-cab drivers either was he? I see there's yet another case of the same going on in Oxford just now.

I don't see a problem with people eating Italian food.

'Some of my best friends are Italian' to coin a phrase.

And if they worship here then I am not in the least bit surprised that you consider them friends!

I found this a good read (though it is all secondary sources). But the author’s recommendations are rather restrained (presumably in line with the HJS’s principles), i.e. a public enquiry and legislation to force transparency or to block certain funding. But even if those were to happen (and there’s no such sign: the government is currently sitting on a pertinent 2016 report by the Home Office’s Extremism Analysis Unit) it would be s l o w indeed and there would be ways out, legal and otherwise. But here’s the thing (and just to extend what HM said): if it’s so bloody obvious that Saudi Arabia is financing Wahhabist Islam in the UK (and everywhere else for that matter: some $2 to $3 billion annually since 1975 apparently) and that this is the breeding ground of ‘home-grown’ Islamist terror, then the government’s apparent lack of action against the Saudis implies that it sees a terrorist fallout for us as a fair trade-off for ‘maintaining close ties’. If that’s true, we are f****d.
(The Yemeni government may be ‘internationally recognised’, but the Saudi reasons for bombing the Houthis (largely Shia) are not unconnected to the fact that the Yemeni majority is Sunni, the source of the Wahhabist ideology the Saudis are spreading around the world.)

It's Rudd-ywell official: no funding from the Saudis (and no report either):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40581819
Most money comes from 'small, anonymous public donations' mainly from 'UK-based individuals'. Solution: public awareness campaigns, raising awareness in the financial services sector, increasing regulatory oversight...
Oh, and 'raising issues of concern, supported by evidence, with specific countries'.
That'll show 'em.

Well I enjoyed a nice six week holiday. Don't suppose these little tinkers did though!
Quiet time June -
only 142 Islamic attacks in 22 countries, in which 1026 people were killed and 767 injured over past 30 days!

Hamburg tonight. No English people killed so that's all right then.

Thank goodness there's nothing to report from London. Oh, except masked thugs rioting & attacking people because an idiot drug dealer killed himself. BBC reports it as a "protest"!

Must go. Off to London tomorrow to watch the Tempest at the Barbican. In middle of ironing stab proof vest. You've got to laugh!

My mate's daughter lives in Cologne, and after doing the family shop at a supermarket, she got a load of abuse from a bunch of foreign looking chaps, about 15 of them in all, telling her that she shouldn't be out on her own, that shopping is man's work, and lots of other unpleasant comments, after which they proceeded to spit at her. She 'phoned her husband and the police, but by the time they arrived, the perpetrators had left.
I presume we can look forward to this in our towns and cities, assuming it hasn't already started.

Wise and interesting words from Maajid Nawaz and the Henry Jackson Society. Perhaps they're "wacist" though?
My God, Stephen Kinnock, what an absolute waste of space, even more so than his father and that's saying something!
How bloody frightening to think that people like him " represent " us in parliament.

Little reported in UK press (why?) but Johnny Frog has just ramped up anti-terror laws:-

Looks like they have finally got fed up with tea-lights and saying it's 'nothing to do with religion'?
Meanwhile in parliament only last night!
