Ghost of a flea

Speaking about the recent visits to the town by anti-mosque protestors the English Defence League, Mr Cameron said they were “disgraceful people”, who would “always be under review” if he was in power, adding “and if I needed to ban them I will”.

There are some suggestions that a police officer was seen to be ‘beaten to a near pulp’ by Muslims and that police managed to arrest the main perpetrator. Apparently Muslims activists said that if he was not released then they would riot in the town. I understand that they also threatened to riot if the ‘Rooftop Two’ were not removed from their position. Shortly afterwards I hear that the ‘Rooftop Two’ were tazered by police before being arrested. This as far as I am aware is unprecedented. It suggests that the police respond the Islamic pressure as though Islam is the source of the laws that they seek to enforce.
