Melanie Phillips's Articles: Weasel words on terror
On Tuesday at a full council meeting we stood in silence for a while and the leaders of the political parties spoke to commiserate and thanks who gave service and comfort. I gather that ambulances from New malden attended central London on the 7th July. I did however say that I was disturbed by the Mayor for London and his actions. One minute Ken speaks, close to tears, and condemns the atrocities and the next he is inviting the clerics who preach that terrorist actions are good for meetings at City Hall. He has done this in the past and he will do it in the future.
I am not a fan of Melanie Phillip's but I think this is a good article on this difficult issue. She ends by saying:
"Terrorism can only be defeated if the country displays an unambiguous solidarity against all such deliberate slaughter of the innocents, wherever it takes place, and rejects the moral inversion expressed in the weasely justifications of the terrrorists' motives. The mayor has an urgent case to answer."

Tell me if I'm wrong but didnt Red Ken share the same platform as Gerry Adams during the 80's?...Adams of course being on the IRA's army council as well as using Sinn Fein's election slogan during the 70's & 80's of 'Bullet and the Ballot?'
