Police recover largest haul of bomb making chemicals
06-10-2006 20:11
Unfortunately I can believe this.What "police are believed to be the largest haul ever found [of bomb making chemicals] at a house in this country" seems to have had no space at all on mainstream media other than on this local paper.
Easy to see the difference with recently media hyped police operations. No middle eastern people this time but 2 surely white Brits with established BNP connections.

"Supposing Tower Hamlets or parts of Bradford were to become governed by religious zealots believing in that system. Are we ready for complete local autonomy if it means sharia law?"as Boris Johnson is quoted in the London daily Telegraph website Wednesday 4 October 2006-10-04
What evidence has Boris Johnson to base that supposition on?
Why does he talk about Sharia law and Tower Hamlets and Bradford?
Why doesn't he talk about other religions? What religious beliefs and views do the local councillors in the rest of the UK belong to? Have their respective religious beliefs led to those councils being undesirably subjected to the policies prompted by those religious beliefs?
And a million other questions.
It seems that Boris Johnson is not alone in this ignorance about the world today.
The curious thing is: how do so many ignorant people get to become MPs
