A surreal mini civil war

A senior army officer lets The Independent in on a little secret.

MI5 has estimated that up to 4,000 British Muslims had travelled to Pakistan and, before the fall of the Taliban, to Afghanistan for military training. The main concern until now has been about the parts some of them had played in terrorist plots in the UK. Now there are signs that they are mounting missions against British and Western targets abroad. “We are now involved in a kind of surreal mini-British civil war a few thousand miles away,” said an army officer.

It is only a British civil war because the British Establishment has chosen to pretend so. If Her Majesty's government continues to refuse its duty, we risk a proper British intifada. Crumpets thrown. Feelings injured. And then the football hooligans to do the work the Army and the police are forbidden to do. Such is the metastasis of fascism.

Or we surrender our daughters to the enemy. Your call, Prime Minister Brown.

And another thing: Say as much in Canada and you risk being summoned before a "human rights" commission. Our ignorance - and two wide oceans - are not the armour they once were.
