London bomb attacks of 2005 - to acknowledge what it is actually facing and take the
appropriate action."

"Britain is in denial. Having allowed the country to turn into a global hub of the Islamic jihad without apparently giving it a second thought. My thoughts exactly. To go further Tony Blair has allowed this to happen so that He will be the first President of the United States of European. He hasn't taken a paid job because He wishes to have the freedom to take up this post at any time soon. This is why he signed the Treaty when He did. Gordon Brown is in collusion with the plan, they both will do anything to remain in power.
