Thatcher's reforms are to blame for 7/7

First things first...it appears, with hind sight that I may have been a little harsh in my last post when noting the death of Glastonbury due to a corporate murder carried out by twats wearing fashionably essential mud on their Donna Karen and Pradas. I had taken exception to the way it is organised, policed and priced so as to keep away the very people who first started the festival. However from those who were able to attended and obtain a ticket to get you past the Israeli border style security gates I here that great times where had and the experience was a much enjoyed one so for that I am very glad and apologize for putting a downer on it.

Now... to more interesting issues. the roots of Islamic extremism.


I have just read Ed Hussain's book "The Islamist", which is a fascinating and insightful recount of a London born and raised Bangladeshi man, and his journey towards extremist Islamist ideals.



The story he tells starts of with him as a young Asian boy, with glasses, who is a bit of an outcast amongst his fellow pupils at school and who attends Stepny Green in Hackney. An important fact is the time in which this took place.
He was starting school at the time when Margaret Thatcher was disbanding the I.L.E.A, (the London education authority) which was responsible for the running and funding of London's schools. She then placed the funding and organising of schools in to the hands of local authorities. Under qualified, under resourced and undermined local authority's.
Hackney of coarse was one of the poorest boroughs in the country and had little money to provide the means for a decent schooling. It also had the highest Asian population in the country.

This essentially led to thousands of young Asian men in the borough getting very little access to good education.

A bad education or only a little information are a dangerous thing.

His path towards his extremist views was mapped out by a combination of politically minded individuals, who took advantage of him and his willingness to learn, and his ego driven ideas born out of an ill education.

He had adopted all manner of highly dangerous political ideals born out of irrational, emotionally charged opinions, unsupported by facts, logic or any kind of rational. It was only later in life after he gained himself an education, done by means of formal study in a supportive and secular environment, that he realised the ignorance and harm of his extreme totalitarian political beliefs which he had previously owned.

The point here is that it was the heartless Conservative, social policy reforms of the late 80's ,which denied education,employment, and opportunity to the people who needed it most, that Mrs Thatcher implemented, which are responsible for the many, ill educated young men, who are now susceptible to the teachers of politicised Islamic teachings.

Margaret Thatcher and her right-wing social reforms are to blame for the 7/7 London bomb attacks as much as anything or anyone else is ....probably more

knowledge is the key to understanding

The heavens love nothing higher than a scholar

education,education,education..... Ive heard that before somewhere? cant think where

more soon folks....
and don't forget.....
...cos we wont
