Teenage Trotsky is Cabinet’s new adviser on radical Islam.
OH TA BE YOUNG AND STUPID AGAIN INSTEAD OF JUST OLD. YOUTH ALWAYS HAS ALLLLL THE ANSWERS. NOT MUCH EXPERIENCE IN LIFE BUT WHO NEEDS EXPERIENCE?
Wankers of the underworld unite .... you have nowhere to go but UP yours!
Sad to think this is the very same country that once upon a time (1940), was ready to fight em on the beaches bare handed if necessary.
Now it’s all, oh please. Do be welcome to our country and feel perfectly free to take any part of it that strikes your fancy.
Take France too btw ...
Our new national anthem will be, “I SURRENDER DEAR.”
Teenage Trotsky is Cabinet’s new adviser on radical Islam

Last updated at 9:05 AM on 08th October 2008Radicals want to bring down Governments in Leon Trotskys’ name.
A teenage Muslim enlisted to advise ministers on combating extremism is herself a member of a Trotskyist revolutionary party.
Sabiha Iqbal, 18, the privately educated daughter of a civil servant, belongs to the Socialist Workers Party, which is dedicated to the overthrow of parliament, the state and capitalism.
The appointment of the law student from Bradford to the Young Muslim Advisory Group was greeted with incredulity by intelligence experts yesterday.
Miss Iqbal herself described the decision to bring her in as a consultant to Communities Secretary Hazel Blears and Families Secretary Ed Balls as ‘very odd’.
But Mrs Blears said: ‘If you don’t want to change the world at 17, that’s a shame.’
Miss Iqbal insisted yesterday that she was not an extremist, saying ‘I am Left-wing about some things and Right-wing about others.
‘I agree with the equality ideas of socialism.’
Professor Anthony Glees, director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at the University of Buckingham, said: ‘Ministers should be picking democratic leaders and people with experience, not people they think will bring in the “yoof” vote.
‘To go for somebody like Miss Iqbal is appalling.’
The student was named among 22 members of Labour’s ‘Young Muslim Advisory Group’, intended to ‘talk to ministers and policymakers first hand about the issues affecting their day-to-day lives.’
The group will get ‘direct access to senior Cabinet ministers’ to help fight discrimination and get jobs for young Muslims. They will also give views on British foreign policy over Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Miss Iqbal’s Trotskyist party campaigns against wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its website declares that ‘on some issues we will find ourselves on the same side as the Islamists against the state’, and that ‘our rule should be, with the Islamists sometimes, with the state never.’
Privately-educated at the £10,500 a year Bradford Grammar School for Girls, Miss Iqbal, now a law student at Bradford University, is the youngest of three daughters from a middle class family living in the city’s Heaton district.
Yesterday she said that despite being a member of the Socialist Worker’s Party she was not an extremist.
‘I am left wing about some things and right wing about others,’ she said. ‘I agree with the equality ideas of socialism. Having a sense of equality is important.’
Asked about the SWP, she said: ‘I appreciate what the party is trying to do.’
Miss Iqbal said her religious beliefs were ‘the most important thing in my life’, and added that she hoped to ‘give a voice for young Muslims’ who felt they were being singled out in society.
A devotee of martial arts and a talented drummer, she lists her interests as hip hop activist, feminist, photographer, writer, film maker and youth mentor.
Born in Germany, she moved to the UK as a two-year-old. Her father runs a jeweller’s shop and her mother is a civil servant.
Her father Pervez Iqbal described his daughter as ‘a very sensible girl who wants to help people.’ He said she was ‘a good Muslim’, adding ‘but not extreme or anything.’
‘She has a very good heart,’ she said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
