#1 I think I could make a fortune by selling Marshall Pétain's photos in Britain.

#2 Why don't they call the "struggle" against extremists the "Jihad", it's language we all can understand.

#3 The government in future, they add, will talk of a "struggle" against extremist ideology, rather than a "battle".

My thoughts exactly. Our jihad against islam sounds good to me. Or better yet, call it "mein kampf".

#4 John Kerry could be elected PM there with that outlook.

#5 As long as people interpret the word "struggle" correctly (i.e.: No holds barred unless you can get away with it), it's OK with me.

#6 Whoops! Mulligan:

#7 You are giving up in small increments.
That's all it is, and if I can see it the Mooks can see it and the go crazy when the smell blood.

Good luck, you will all be lucky if you don't end up lying in the street with a muslim love letter pegged to your chest by a butcher knife, like Theo Van Gogh.

#8 "...the radicalisation of Muslim youth... must not be described as a 'Muslim problem'..."
Why don't we just call it a jihad problem and then the non-jihadis won't be offended. Or maybe we could just call it Gretrude with a wink.

#10 'What we have here, is a failure to communicate.'

#11 "We hadn't got the message right,"

And the message is, "You're all dog meat". Like bigjim says, giving up in small increments. We are witnessing a voluntary version of the death of a thousand cuts. If the message to your enemies is not offensive, you're doing something very, very wrong.

#12 Lord, I've lost any confidence that the Brits have a chance. Couple this capitulation by the police and their outflow of citizens as the influx of muslims continuies, and the country is no longer really Britain

#13 They will get precisely what they are trying to avoid: rivers of blood.

One only has to wonder whether they are so stupid or so deliberately suicidal.

#14 Stories like this are getting all too common. We need a new Rantburg category: Not With A Bang, But A Whimper.

#15 They will get precisely what they are trying to avoid: rivers of blood.

Exactol, twobyfour. The only question is whether it will be from murdered Europeans or that of Muslims running out from under the charnel house doors.

#16 In the end it will be both.
