If Cameron is serious about 'gagging the hate clerics' a good first step would be to drag the vile Anjem Choudary in off the streets and shake him 'til he rattles. If he is publicly seen to be doing something to target the problem then hopefully the innocent muslims that lead a decent life in our communities will be left alone. All this 'free country' and multicultural claptrap is exactly what has allowed scum like him to trample all over our society.
Would you rather live in a dictatorship? I am sure that you enjoy the freedoms that we are ALL allowed in this country. The fact is that, like a lot of other things, people have taken advantage, so it is up to our government to now put a stop to those who have abused our freedom of speech to spout hatred and venom which has spawned attacks upon our nation. But a free country is what you enjoy, and if one is not to be considered racist and bigoted, then one perhaps should not be using words like 'multicultural claptrap'. This country will always have divisions whilst people think like that.
Give me strength. I really can't be bothered to point out to you the many ways in which the multicultural experiment has gone wrong here. In your mind this country is obviously one big melting pot of happiness and peace. People that know me know I am neither a racist nor a bigot, perhaps you could post me your rose tinted glasses so I can have a holiday from reality?

The BNP and their ilk have existed in this Country for yonks and would still target immigrants even if they all stayed at home knitting pullovers for our soldiers ... it is a sickness of the mind on both sides of the divide.
Agreed Manoverboard.

The alternative to a free society is a dictatorship and sarcastic comments will not change the fact. Another fact is that we have always welcomed immigrants to our country but it is clear that we should have closed 'the gate' several years ago - however, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. The country needs to move forward from where we are now. Britons too have emigrated and settled all over the world, and, in a democratic society will be living their lives as they wish as have those non-British who live here. That seems to be something that some people cannot get their head around. Had the government told immigrants what they could, and could not, do, and live the same as us, that would have been a different matter. This is how it is, no looking through rose-coloured spectacles, just an acceptance of exactly how it is. Action should have been taken the very first time a radical preached hate and venom in our streets, but, better late than never, the government is now going to take action, and adopt a zero tolerance policy on anything which would pose a threat to national security.

Me too. Mo is spot on.

Sad to see that another country which has been generous and liberal in its immigration policies is now having problems. Hopefully these incidents will ring warning bells and a unilateral approach taken in dealing with immigration.
