Lenins tomb highlights a couple of things, but most notably, this “During New Labour’s first term in office, the police killed about 300 people, most of them in custody. Between April 2004 and March 2005, about 100 died as a result of police action. Aside from deaths resulting from asphyxiation positions, violent altercations and wilful neglect of those needing treatment, there are a huge number of deaths that result from lawless police driving.”
That friend of the Muslim people, especially the Uzbek Muslims, Jack Straw has again come to the aid of the Muslim minority. The rich inheritor of a large estate informs us that there is no longer a “sense of class” amoung the peasant propertyless underclass, and that a “stronger sense of shared British identity” was needed. Perhaps he wants Muslims to join in the violence that accompanies British football clubs abroad, perhaps he he wants British Muslims to contributemore to the gun and knife crimes. Maybe he wants them to sell drugs.. or, more probably, he is trying to invoke a simpleton US style blind patriotism.
Considering it has come from Straw, chances are it will be ignored fairly swiftly, but, it is worth reminding ourselves as to how Straws previous “debate” affected that section of the British populace…

Thats really just a selection… On top of that, there was the Daily Express… a selection of whos’ covers I shall now repost..
On a more positive note, Straw did see support from his political rivals the BNP, but that ultra socialist leader of the opposition,David Cameron, suggested too many politicians are “piling in” to the debate on Muslim women who wear full-face veils. Perhaps the reactions detailed above are the British values Straw wants to embolden within his peasants, or maybe he’s just spouting ignoratn populist tribe with a view to becoming deputy leader, who knows?
