I am glad the right wing is being exposed for whipping up hatred as much as the extremists on the other side.

It was similar in the approach to the war on Iraq and now that has also been exposed.

Lets just say that PP has improved from its earlier days.

Now those people should hang there heads in shame for relying on a dodgy right wing think tank and research which whipped up hysteria without foundation.

So we see again how people are pushing an agenda.

Way to go Newsnight for exposing these dirty tricks.

For those of you who said literature couldn’t be placed by anyone you better wipe the egg from your faces

NO, I doubt this is a conspiracy. You really don’t need to conspire to make it appear a hate literature is available methinks. I suspect a junior researcher trying to prove himself, surely anyone higher up would see the stupidity of faking evidence. One would hope.

Will wait and see though

Hate literature comes in many forms, the most pernicious of it unrecogniseable and the extremist Policy Exchange ‘report’ was just one.

It was written for the weak-minded, and it served its purpose.

Sack those numpties for faking receipts? Why?

Why not expose them for what they want to achieve and why not put them under the microscope and find out who is really behind them?

East London Mosque does not dispute that extremist literature is sold at the East London Mosque bookshop, which is based on ELM premises and provides till receipts bearing the name “ELM Book Centre”. The mosque chairman, Muhammad Abdul Bari, who is also secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, merely makes the surprising claim that he has no responsibility for what is sold in the bookshop.

So, the point is, extremist literature IS being sold at the East London Mosque Bookshop. Abdul is the chairman of the East London mosque. This is certainly worth mentioning. If he’s the chairman, and in his position of responsibility, he should be involving himself in the bookshop.

Certainly, if the Canterbury Catherdral bookshop was selling neo-nazi hate material, then we would expect the Archbishop of Canterbury to get involved and condemn and take moves to remove it, rather than saying “oh, nought to do with me!”

And let’s hope the numpties responsible for (allegedly) faking receipts get the sack sharpish. Quite why they felt they had to do this is beyond me.

Hate literature is widely available, as we all know. The internet is the real hub of it, though.

Surely, the whole idea of a think-tank is that its finding are sound, justifiable and evidence-based?

Mr Barron decided to try to prove himself right. In the private sector, there is something called “vanity publishing”, where people pay for their own works to be published.

Mr Barron’s vanity broadcasting was, of course, at the expense of the licence-fee payer…

I can think of a more salient example of “vanity publishing” – for example, when a man buys a newspaper so that his wife can inflict Likudnik screeds on its readers.

I wonder what’s happening about that threat to pursue a libel action “relentlessly, to trial or capitulation”?

“It’s OK to be pro-Israel, but not to be unbelievably pro-Likud Israel, it’s OK to be pro-American but not look as if you’re taking instructions from Washington.”

That strikes me as a fairly serious allegation, one that Dean Godson ought to be aware of. Whilst many other members of his family have been closely involved in the darker side of ‘culture wars’, it would, perhaps be the position of an innocent man to argue that he was, quite simply, being tarred with the same brush.

No, I don’t believe it either.
