    London’s ability to provide safe sanctuary for refugees could be put at risk by right-wing extremism, an independent counter-terrorism review has warned.
    Security expert Lord Toby Harris says hotels used to house them may be attacked.

    He adds refugees in some poorer boroughs were seen to be “jumping the queue” for services often in short supply, leading to anti-immigration “anger and division”.

    Last July, mayor Sadiq Khan commissioned the review against a backdrop of Islamist, online and right-wing radicalisation plus state-sponsored terror.

    Lord Harris reports more people were referred to Prevent, the government’s flagship anti-terror programme, in 2021 for far-right views than Islamist ones for the first time - 1,229 compared to 1,064.

      Nice line of reasoning, not.



      When this is over there will be no Russia as it is known now.

      I am very glad that PoS like you, owl and a bunch of others here are in small minority in this country as finally most people seems to have realised what a monster Putin is and also Russia as a country that in vast majority still supports this war.

      P.S. Pathetic pieces of tulip like you would have surrendered to Hitler.

      10k bet that Putin is in charge in 12 months?

          The issue I have with this post that got BigDataPro banned is that it is complete tulipe.

          "perhaps that would have saved millions in WW2."

          ...is the most fookin stupid comment I've heard about WW2.

            UK offers £350 per month for households that take in Ukrainian refugees. Only the UK doesn't let any in. Another cheap Tory trick.

                  From the article:

                  “The Russian historical view is that every hundred years or so there’s an invasion from the west,” said Tomas Ries, associate professor at the Swedish national defence college.

                  “From a Russian military perspective, I can understand that they were worried when Nato was enlarged,” he said, adding nonetheless: “The problem with this argument is that no one in their wildest dreams can imagine the west attacking Russia.”
                  But then no one in their wildest dreams, besides a few crazed US neocons, would have imagined that Russia these days would attack the west.

                  The point being that things change over time, so arguably Russia's fear is well founded that Ukraine in NATO and/or the EU would increase the long term risks of their further eastward encroachments, which after all would be only a continuation of their policy until now.

                  Haven't read the article author's other points yet, so back to the article ..

                    Not sure I agree with that. Some sensible people could fear it. The obvious big difference in the "wildest dreams" thing is that Russia is a single autocratic state where the leader can do pretty much what he likes. It only needs one crazed leader like Putin to start an attack, while the West is a coalition of democratic states that could never agree on any major war unless they were attacked first in a major offensive.

                      I think his mental state declined significantly after Biden's win, he needs professional help or at the very least quit drinking tulip like Bell's in the morning.
