The fact that the latest suspected terrorist threat involves students should come as no surprise. It is the predictable result of three things: an insatiably violent Islamist ideology; the politically-correct refusal of our political class to admit reality; and the comprehensive neglectfulness of our university authorities. This country has already produced a number of students who have gone on to become jihadist murderers. If this situation is not to get even worse, it is time not just to start asking questions, but to demand answers.
Greedy for the extra cash they bring, our universities desperately seek overseas students and often ask no questions when some of them fail to appear for classes. Following the introduction of tougher visa rules in the United States, the number of visas issued to students from Pakistan since 2001 has more than doubled in the UK. The problems that this brings with it are now being displayed.
In 2007, at Portsmouth University alone, 379 students from Pakistan were unaccounted for. Immigration minister Phil Woolas recently admitted that the student visa system is "the major loophole in Britain's border controls". It is a loophole that risks becoming a death-trap. Yet those like me who have repeatedly warned about the consequences of our appalling immigration policy and flawed border security policies, and the fact that our universities have become centres of Islamic radicalisation, have been ignored – even as we have been, sadly, vindicated.
Last summer. the Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC), in conjunction with the polling company YouGov, released a survey of Muslim student opinion in the UK. Forty per cent of Muslim students polled supported the introduction of sharia into British law

The oligarchy doesn’t care why you die. They just want you dead . . . force that global population down to 200 million ASAP.
“Let’s not die for timid and misguided political correctness”
lol. yeah. let’s not.
LOL! I was thinking the same thing - isn't using the phrase "let's not" the very "politically correct timidity" that would get us killed?
(Or am I missing some Brit stiff upper lip parlay because of my knuckle-dragging American mindset?)
I do not know what happened to the United Kingdom, the land of my forefathers. It’s almost like, shortly after winning WW-II, everybody there took stupid pills, threw away their Empire and embraced nearly every political doctrine that they’d fought against over the past 200 years.
How does it come to pass that the Poms cannot say to these Pakistani students “get the Hell off my Island right now!” and make it stick? Just load ‘em onto a plane and fly them out. Repeat until done. Why not do that?
Riots in the streets? That is what the riot squad and truncheons are for, and 100 years ago the Brits had no compunctions about using them.
Quo vadis, Britannia?
Yeah, it’s just crazy, the stuff people have to say these days.
“Let’s not die”
Hmm. Yeah! There’s an interesting idea!
But the sad fact is, it has to be said.
Agrressive, and if required, violent opposition to the militant Islam is justified. And ensuring it never gets a foothold may require preventing the establishment of more moderate versions. Islam is so opposed to our American culture that its practice here should be viewed not as freedom of religion, but rather as a hate crime.
Isn't that forbiden "hate speech" in the U.K.?
The Empire wasn’t lost through stupidity, it was lost through the crushing economic pressure of having fought two world wars, and then being indebted to a US that wanted to dismantle the British Empire as quickly as possible for its own reasons...

Interesting. I’ve always thought it was a result of de-mobilization, sending men who had fought and won the Second World War back to the coal mines and dockyards where they could fall under the influences of the unions. And from colonies and former colonies wanting pay-back for standing beside Britain thru two disastrous World Wars — some of them with independence, some with more than that. And a scandal-ridden Royal family that was/is completely out of touch with everybody — leading to a general decline in British institutions.
I guess war debt and US pressure would fit well into that equation, too.
I read a fascinating series of three historical books a number of years ago by a transvestite named James/Jane Morris on the decline and fall of the British Empire. One of the books was called “Heaven’s Command” — I can’t recall the names of the other two. It starts with Victoria’s coronation and goes thru until modern times. They were quite good.
Labour unions had existed in Britain for a long time before the second world war, and were arguably less radical than the revolutionary republican chartists of the previous century.
Australia and New Zealand lost most of their faith in the British Empire when she failed to protect them from the Japanese after the fall of Singapore and were compelled to rely on the US whilst Britain focused on the war in Europe.
I don’t think the Royal Family had much to do with the break up of the Empire either, as George VI, The Queen Mother and the present Queen were/are generally held in very high regard. Chuckles may be a different matter, but the Empire effectively ended well before he cocked things up by marrying and then cheating on Diana and expressing a desire to be Camilla’s tampon.
One thing that may have accelerated the Empire’s demise is the birth of the welfare state and its related expense under Atlee’s post-war Labour government, but even that was related to the war due to bitter memories of the poverty and depression that awaited ex-servicemen after the previous war...
Exactly no way in Hell does that Mass murdering Cult belong here around Civilized people..
