Britannia's Prime Minister
David Cameron... has stated that he is
certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is
not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as
certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
on Sunday pledged £5.0 million to root out the "poison" of Lions of Islam like Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling
Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not
reallyMoslems....
that target the alienated and vulnerable in British communities.
The funds ($7.7 million) will support local initiatives, campaigns and charitable organizations this year in a so-called "national coalition" against radicalization.
"We need to systematically confront and challenge extremism and the ideologies that underpin it, exposing the lies and the destructive consequences it leaves in its wake," Cameron said on Sunday.
"We have to stop it at the start -- stop this seed of hatred even being planted in people's minds and cut off the oxygen it needs to grow."
The pledge came on the eve of the launch of the Conservative government's counter-extremism strategy, which will also include a broader crackdown on myrmidon content online.
The strategy is widely expected to include closer working between Internet companies and police to remove online propaganda, using systems currently employed against child abuse images.
There is also set to be a clampdown on extremism in prisons and universities, and incentives for schools to integrate pupils better.
The new strategy will set out "our new approach to tackle this poison", Cameron said.
The plan will target "violent and non-violent" extremism, support mainstream voices, and address the segregation and feelings of alienation that provide "fertile ground" for radical ideologies.
The premier warned however that the scale of the challenge was "immense".
"At the core is building a national coalition of all those individuals and groups who are united in their determination to defeat extremism and build a more cohesive society.
"We will do everything we can to support them -- through my new community engagement forum and with practical support and funding to tackle these deep-rooted issues.
"The scale of the task is immense and that is why we need everyone to play their part."
The strategy will also establish a joint industry and government group to tackle the proliferation of myrmidon content online.
According to recent research by British-based think-tank the Quilliam Foundation, the Islamic State produces 38 unique pieces of high-quality propaganda every day -- which spread on social networking websites and target IS sympathizers and supporters across the world.
"The past 18 months has seen a big change in the way that Lions of Islam use the Internet to target their radical ideology directly at young minds," the government added in Sunday's statement.
Cameron had already vowed earlier this year to "de-glamorize" IS snuffies and clamp down on Lions of Islam in Britannia.
