Iraq Crisis: Cameron Says Islamist Threat Is 'UK Problem'

David Cameron announced extra humanitarian aid for Iraq
during Prime Minister's Questions

BBC: Ignoring the threat from Islamist extremism in the Middle East and parts of Africa will "come back to hit the UK", David Cameron has warned.

The prime minister told MPs that it would be wrong to think the crisis in Iraq was "nothing to do" with the UK.

Encouraging governments to be more inclusive and helping to "close down ungoverned spaces" would stop the conditions for terrorism flourishing.

Mr Cameron also announced extra humanitarian aid for Iraq.

The prime minister, who was chairing a meeting of the National Security Council on Wednesday, has ruled out military intervention in support of the government of Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, in response to attacks by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) fighters.

'Patient'

The fighting between ISIS and Iraqi security forces, who are supported by Shia militias, has focused around the city of Baquba, 60km (35 miles) from Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, while Iraq's largest oil refinery is also under attack.

At Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said it was up to the Iraqi security forces to "push back" ISIS fighters and also urged the government to do more to reconcile Shia, Sunni and Kurdish groups.

"I disagree with those people who think this is nothing to do with us and if they want to have some sort of extreme Islamist regime in the middle of Iraq it won't affect us. It will," he told the Commons.

"The people in that regime, as well as trying to take territory, are also planning to attack us here at home in the United Kingdom." » | Wednesday, June 18, 2014

One in Five 'Would Consider Voting BNP' after Nick Griffin Question Time Appearance
THE TELEGRAPH: More than a fifth of the public would consider voting for the British National Party, according to the first opinion poll taken since the appearance of its leader, Nick Griffin, on Question Time.

Support for the party has increased in the last month, a survey for The Daily Telegraph indicated.

The findings will lead to accusations that the BBC’s decision to invite the far-Right MEP on to its flagship current affairs programme may have backfired by giving him a national platform.

The YouGov poll was taken hours after Mr Griffin’s appearance on Thursday, before which anti-fascist protesters rioted outside BBC Television Centre in London.

The survey found that 22 per cent of voters would “seriously consider” voting for the BNP in a future local, general or European election. This included four per cent who said they would “definitely” consider voting for the party, three per cent who would “probably” consider it, and 15 per cent who said they were “possible” BNP voters.

Two-thirds said they would not consider voting for the party “under any circumstances” with the rest unsure. >>> Rosa Prince, Political Correspondent | Friday, October 23, 2009

The Printed Media’s Programme for the Extermination of the British People Exposed by Their Hysteria
BNP – Editorial: The printed media’s hysterical Nazi-like smears and slander against British National Party leader Nick Griffin today have finally revealed their hatred for the indigenous population of this country.

The wall-to-wall coverage has included cartoons ranging from the pathetically childish (see The Daily Express portraying Mr Griffin as a devil) to the outright Nazi (see The Daily Mail comparing Mr Griffin and BNP supporters to rats emerging from a sewer[)] — a scene taken from the Nazi film Die [sic] Ewige Jude* which showed Jews as rats emerging from a drain.

Many led with front page editorials personally attacking Mr Griffin and at least one quoted from a seriously mentally ill homosexual “right wing” lunatic while another printed even more fantasy from the serial liar Dominic Carmen.

All of this media coverage was directed against Mr Griffin personally — and none of it was directed at the policies of the BNP. >>> BNP News | Friday, October 23, 2009

Lynch Mob Question Time Becomes Biggest Recruitment Night Ever for BNP — 30% Increase in Membership Interest
BNP: The staggeringly biased lynch mob Question Time broadcast on BBC 1 has turned into the single biggest recruitment night in the British National Party’s history, with no less than 3,000 new people registering to be signed up as members when the current recruitment freeze ends.

This figure represents the single largest block of new membership expressions of interest ever, and will, once formally signed up, have boosted party membership by nearly 30 percent.

The BBC broke every rule in its book, even changing the format of the show to allow a hand-picked mob to use up the entire hour to relentlessly attack BNP leader Nick Griffin. Even the supposed moderator, David Dimbleby, joined in the attack, refusing to allow Mr Griffin to answer a single question in full — despite letting other panellists ramble on for minutes at a time.

Mr Griffin said this morning that he was going to submit a formal complaint and a Freedom of Information Act request to have the preparatory papers for the show exposed to the public.

“There we will see that the BBC not only changed the format of the show, but that the questions were primed to be a barrage of lies disguised as statements,” Mr Griffin said. >>> BNP News | Friday, October 23, 2009

BNP Leader to Launch BBC Complaint
YAHOO! NEWS: The leader of the British National Party is launching an official complaint about his treatment on the BBC's Question Time programme, claiming he was "bullied".

Nick Griffin says he was the victim of a set-up in which the format of the current affairs debate show was changed "after 30 years".

He said: "That was not genuine Question Time, that was a lynch mob."

At an impromptu press conference in Thurrock, Essex, he told reporters that he was not given the chance to talk about the BNP's policies.

Mr Griffin also complained about the multi-cultural audience, which was largely opposed to his views. He declared: "London is no longer a British city". >>> ITN | Friday, October 23, 2009
