Former UK Cabinet minister Robin "ThunderGnome" Cook 'troubled' by terror raids
Former Cabinet minister now professional whining loser Robin Cook says he is "deeply troubled" by an increase in prevention of terroristm raids to prevent terrorism. Mr Cook said "raids under the Anti-Terrorism Act...are now running, staggeringly, at 10 times the level of three years ago".
Gosh! Now why would that be?!
He said such raids risked "alienating" the very people organising terrorist acts Britain needed for a multi-cultural society.
I'll call Gnomey's bluff: why do we need a multicultural society?
He was speaking at the Edinburgh Book Festival on Monday where he made the annual make Donald Dewar turn in his grave speech.
"I'm deeply troubled by the increase in raids," he told the packed audience. "There were 30,000 raids under the Prevention of Terrorism Act last year from which less than 100 individuals were charged with offences relating to terrorism."
"See - if we'd only held 3,000 raids, we'd have 90% less terrorists!"
He added: "There's a real risk that if we continue with that we will end up alienating the very people we need for a successful multicultural society and a successful appeal to people around the world of a different culture."
OK, I'm stumped. Anyone here speak PC?
