#1 You don't have to look far to see that the Brits simply aren't serious about dealing with the problem. This is why they have effectively abandoned their troops in Basra and Afghanistan. With this lax attitude at the top and the law of large numbers, one day these nuts will make good on their plans. And it could be avoided if we would just recognize the enemy.

#2 The terror threat assessment has been upgraded to "severe",

That's puncha hippy if I recalls correctly.

#3 I dunno, Nimble, I think the Brit intel services are certainly serious about stopping terrorism. I think the problem is that too many people in Britain, and certainly within their elected government, view the problem through the multi-cultural lens, and haven't yet grasped the idea that the Islamofascists aren't just another interest group.

#4 I don't know. You are confusing what the media talk about, with what the people in pubs talk about.

#5 The UK has experienced unprecedented immigration in the past 15 years, from muzzie countries, the Carribean and Eastern Europe. All of these are going to impact the "British" nature of the country. But it is the muzzies who blow shit up. Clearly they are the least attractive immigrant group. Hopefully the UK will wake up before it is too late.

#6 The Caribbean is more complicated than just Jamaica but generally Jamaican immigrants seem to shoot stuff up.

The Poles seem very good (but things are improving at home and with the credit crunch & de-leveraging set to hit the U.K. much worse than the U.S. they are drifting back home), but from what I hear the Romanians don't seem to have the same excellent work ethic.

#8 Dr. White, true of the intel services, but not the Police who are in the lead of the multi-culti charge.
