This pig has been in the UK living on state benefits for 19 yrs, which means we, the UK are paying him to be here. The total he has had is @ $500,000.

On a related note, here's a nice little article about their American wing of the Quakers and their apologist view of terrorism ... presumably the UK wing has similar attitudes about terrorism and the UK's status as a world power :

(SNIP)

The alliance with Communists would bear much fruit in the AFSC's propaganda, as well. In the 1972 AFSC pamphlet Non-Violence: Not First For Export, author John Bristol explicitly describes the feelings that the AFSC has for the West in general, and America in particular. In a passage forgiving terrorists for their violent ways, Bristol asserts that "terrorism...repeatedly...is used to signify violent action on the part of oppressed peoples in Asia, Africa, Latin America or within the black ghettos of America, as they take up the weapons of violence in a desperate effort to wrest for themselves the freedom and justice denied them by the systems that presently control their lives." But who exactly is the cause of the 'system' terrorists are trying to overthrow? Bristol places the blame squarely at the feet of the West. "What millions of middle-class and other non-poor fail to realize is that they are themselves accomplices each day in meeting [sic.] out inhuman, all-pervading violence upon their fellows."  

Bristol concludes that the AFSC is uninterested in promoting world peace as long as the United States has any sort of power, and does not apply its own standards to other nations. "Instead of trying to devise non-violent strategy and tactics for revolutionaries in other lands, we will bend every effort to defuse militarism in our own land and to secure the withdrawal of American economic investment in oppressive regimes in other parts of the world"

American Friends? Hardly
