It's OK to create  laws to fight against terrorism and cracking down on UK jihadists. But, do not forget the fight against discrimination, inequality and apartheid in UK , which may contribute to some people leaving UK to fight overseas wars.  I have read a lot of stuff in the media and heard a lot of politicians' comments about British people who travel to fight in Iraq and Syria. Unfortunately, no-one has said anything about the need to combat discrimination, inequality and apartheid in the UK in relation to migrants, refugees and minority ethnic communities.  For example,  for minority ethnic communities, having  completed college or university education in the UK does not necessary enable them to get a paid job. Statistics show that most young people from black and minority communities are unemployed or cannot pursue  further education.  Don't ignore the realities by  hiding   your  head in the sand .

Policeman Strangled Victim 'Until his Eyes Bulged Like a Cartoon' in Heathrow Airport Attack A police officer who throttled a man until his eyes bulged from his head "like a cartoon character" has walked free from court. William Eliot, 45, attacked a driver at Heathrow Airport for reportedly kissing his teeth at the traffic officer during questioning. The dismissive gesture saw Eliot lose his temper with victim Adebowale Odomosu, who allegedly also spat at Eliot during the incident. Eliot wrapped his hand round the throat of the man and squeezed until Odomosu's eyes bulged. He begged the police officer "please don't kill me," as he was strangled. Odomosu had been pulled over by Eliot and a colleague during a routine patrol on suspicion of being a taxi tout at the airport, in August last year. Odomosu's vehicle was seized for not being roadworthy. The throttling was reported by Eliot's colleague, PC Robert Hughes, and also the vi...

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK Comments: Mr John Major  is right about migrants in the UK and worldwide. Most of  migrants  leave their countries as asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lack of freedom and human rights abuses. Other leave their countries just to look for new opportunities. Arriving in the new countries such as UK , they work hard to survive. In most cases they have left their families and relatives. They have to share their earnings with the people their left behind and to support the education of their relatives.  They live in disadvantageous situations because they  are not  in the same situation like the British people who  have families that  help them to set up a business for example, pay their education, help them to raise funding or to get a bank loan, to inherit houses and other assets. They face institutional discrimination because most of the...

Baroness Warsi : a   hypocritical   and lost politician who claims to represent   all  UK ethnic minorities We are posting this comment here because, it will be rejected by the moderators of BBC website. See related story at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28730274  Let’s start with a simple question: To  what extent Baroness Warsi represents the  UK ethnic minorities ? As far as we know, this woman is from Pakistan. In the UK , ethnic minorities are from  many countries in Africa, Asia, South America and  Europe. We don’t even believe that she represent all Pakistanis minority settled in the UK. She resigned over Gaza-Israel conflict. Now, she is trying to show that she is the champion of UK ethnic minorities’ rights. Here are some issues that she should have been campaigning  for since she  started politics. UK Ethnic minorities  face tough discrimination and apartheid in all sectors including the volu...

'Hot car' mother defends herself " A petition   calling for charges against Ms Taylor to be dropped garnered 57,000 signatures. She has received more than $100,000 (£59,000) in donations and pro bono legal support." Comment:  In the UK, a black mother in this situation could  not  be supported in this way because British people only donate to and support white people. HTTP://WWW.BBC.CO.UK/NEWS/BLOGS-ECHOCHAMBERS-27989538#DNA-COMMENTS By Anthony Zurcher Editor, Echo Chambers On 20 March, Shanesha Taylor had a job interview at an insurance agency in Scottsdale, Arizona. Because she couldn't find a babysitter to watch two of her children, aged six months and two years, she left them in her car. It was a 71F (22C) day, and the children were strapped in their car seats with the windows ajar and the car's fan blowing. While she was away for more than an hour, a passer-by noticed the children crying and called the police. When she returned, ...
