‘HALT HANDOUTS TO MUSLIM FANATICS’
'VIGILANT': David Cameron
By Macer Hall Political Editor
DAVID Cameron is to call for a ban on public handouts to Muslim extremists.
And the Tory leader wants anyone who “rejects democracy” barred from sitting on public bodies.
Last night he also called on the Government to step up action to keep extremist preachers out of Britain, saying: “Terrorist apologists should be kept out, full stop, period.”
Mr Cameron told a leading Jewish charity that too many fanatical groups were still getting public funding.
He accused Labour ministers of “taking their eye off the ball” in the fight against extremism.
In a speech to the Community Security Trust, which helps protect the Jewish community from anti-semitic attacks, he said: “The Government has allocated hundreds of thousands of pounds to local authorities to improve community cohesion.
“But there are worrying signs that ministers have taken their eyes off the ball.”
He cited examples of councils handing out cash for community projects that ended up going to extremist groups, including Hizb-ut-Tahrir.
“I will be making proposals to isolate extremists and make certain they cannot obtain public grants or get invited to sit on public bodies,” he said. “That won’t just apply to Islamic extremists. We will be equally vigilant in ensuring that groups linked to the BNP or animal rights militants are excluded too.
“The message should be clear – to those who reject democracy, to those who preach hate, to those who encourage violence: You are not part of the mainstream, you will not get public funding.”
Mr Cameron said that extremism was not confined to any particular religious or ethnic group.
“During protests against the conflict in Lebanon, we witnessed the nauseating sight of well-scrubbed, middle class English people marching through central London holding placards that read ‘We are all Hizbollah’.
“That is the extremist mindset in action.”
Mr Cameron was speaking at CST’s annual fund-raising dinner in central London.
More than 1,000 people attended the event, which was expected to raise thousands of pounds for the Jewish charity.
CST monitors anti-semitic attacks and helps provide security for events and buildings in the Jewish comm-unity.
It also liases with police and the Government about security issues.
Praising the work of the charity, the Tory leader said: “Britain is still a relatively safe place but, as the CST’s latest report shows, Jews in this country are coming under increasing attack.
“The police and security services do a great job but, inevitably, they have many priorities and limited resources.
“That is why the Comm-unity Security Trust is so vital in providing that extra layer of vigilance that could, in certain circumstances, make the difference between life and death.”
New figures from CST last month showed that the number of violent assaults on Jews in the UK reached 114 last year, the highest since records began in 1984.

Well I guess its election season in the entire western world since I’m quite sure like here in the US, once you are elected, and your campaign is funded by another Saudi Price promoting his version of democracy, Muslim organizations will once again be left alone to promote Sharia Law, and plan numerous more Muslim terrorist attach within their Mosques against the Kufir. My guess that for all you democracy loving infidels in the UK it is already too late and life your arch bishop stated, Sharia Law WILL be accepted and sooner or later, all the Churches will be burnt to the grow like in EVERY other Muslim country around the world. You asked for it?
On the good side, at least Mr. Cameron actually had the guts to speak out but like all politicians, he just isn’t addressing the real issue, and that is we are fighting an ideology, not just the most non pluralistic Religion since its conception by a man that practiced whole scale mass murders, who made is living by looting whole villages than after killing every man alive, sold all the women and children into slavery(at least the ones he didn’t rape and enslave for himself), just like the Muslims are doing today. Taking money away from the extremists doesn’t stop a darn thing since their benefactors in the Middle East, (yes the ones funding all the Mosques being built around the world) will come to their rescue while funding yet another politician to keep his mouth shut.
Good luck Mr. Cameron!

PLAYING GAMES!

Here we go, you can tell there's an election coming up! Why is it that the BNP are castigated so virulently until it's time for an election, at which point those that have been spewing their vitriolic nonsense, the LibLabCon, all of a sudden adopt the policy ideas of the party they've been slagging off!
The answer is simple. Far from being far right extremists, the policies of the BNP seem to reflect what the majority of people want, but don't want to say! Now for the likes of Cameron, this is a political ploy designed to mug voters into thinking he's the man for the job. But he isn't. The only man for the job will be the one saying loud and clear that we need to withdraw from the EU because that's where the control of our country lies, and we can't change the present situation until we are once again a sovereign state!
Cameron is playing word games with the electorate, and once again he is playing the race card, not because he genuinely believes in what he's saying, but because he genuinely believes that by saying it, people will vote for him!
What we need is a new broom to sweep clean the contaminated corridors of power, and to reinstill in society those most sorely missed attributes of the stiff upper lip, the sense of fair play, and the indignant refusal to be bullied!
