| Cabinet scared of rights mob |
| 2003-01-24 |
| MINISTERS admit the Government has been too scared of human rights crusaders â and should have acted on Muslim radicals earlier. A senior Cabinet figure admitted yesterday that Labour had not acted despite intelligence warnings. The minister said: âWe could and should have done something a long time ago. We have not been tough enough or moved quickly enough. We have not got a grip and people are rightly furious. We were worried about looking racist and as if we didnât care about human rights. Our priority must be with votersâ human rights.â Voters, it would seem to me, have a "human right" to be secure from slaughter in large numbers by the turban and automatic weapons set. It would also seem like a "human right" for voters to have a government that has a high enough testicle count to be able to stand up to the mau-mauing the Islamists and their allied handwringers hand out... The admission came as Home Secretary David Blunkett said he was âdeeply worriedâ about vigilantes attacking immigrants in a backlash. Why not worry about that when it occurs, and concentrate on the plotting and planning by subversives and killers that is occurring? |

| #1 Vigilantes attack immigrants in a backlash when their government isn't doing their damn job. You can either have professional justice (Government going after the REAL bad guys), vigilante justice (vigilantes going after who they THINK are the bad guys, but may not be), or no justice. I prefer the first the best. However, I'll settle for #2 if I feel I'm getting #3, which is never an acceptable option. I.e. Do your damn job, or we'll do it. |
