| UK paying local govts to identify Muslim extremists |
| 2007-01-07 |
| The British government was preparing to give special funding to local councils to help identify possible Muslim extremists, a newspaper reported on Saturday. Sounds like pragmatism to me... According to the report in the national Daily Mirror newspaper, Communities and Local Government Minister Ruth Kelly was expected to announce later this month the five million pounds funding of the initiative that calls for council staff to tip off authorities about possible risks, and act as the “ears and eyes of police”. “Extremism is an issue for all of us. Local authorities must rise to the challenge, too,” the Daily Mirror quoted Kelly as saying. “This funding will enable us to harness the long-established expertise of local authorities in developing deep insights into their areas in order to meet the challenge of tackling violent extremism.” |

| #5 You got it USN, ret. A good ole bounty. I could stand on any street corner there and make a week's wages in a couple hours. Exactly same here. Both for Muzzies and Mexes. |

| #3 Back when my Dad was growing up on St. Jouns, Michigan, they called this a 'bounty.' He got I think 25 cents for each rat head he brought in (farming country and all). Best part, the county paid another dime for each tail. I'll bet if the Brits called it a bounty, they would get more respondents (especially if a proof of purchase were required). |
