Sajid Javid set to be Tories’ first Muslim MP
English-born Mr Javid, who went to a state school and studied economics and politics at Exeter University, had a successful career as a banker. He became the youngest vice president in the history of Chase Manhattan Bank at the age of 24 before being headhunted by Deutsche Bank. He has since left banking but describes himself as a ‘businessman and private investor’.
Plan for anti-Muslim march blasted
Five men have been arrested after a Facebook site was set up declaring “all Muslims should be thrown out of Walesâ€. Around 150 people joined the group on the social networking site claiming they would march through the Rhondda Valleys to make their feelings known. The proposed march has been described as “mindless bigotry†by racial equality groups. But South Wales Police have now stepped in and arrested five men for religiously aggravated public order offences.
Sarah Palin fires up Tea Party faithful
My view – please, run Sarah run! I remember when her spectre first came up and Tories warned she was formidable while fake lefties warned us she was formidable too. She is – at energising Democrats and turning off Independents. She is among Obama’s best Republican weapons.
Sikh judge criticises banning of Kirpan
Sikhs should be allowed to wear their ceremonial daggers – known as Kirpans – to school and other public places, Britain’s first Asian judge has said. There have been a number of cases of Sikhs being refused entry to venues because they wear the Kirpan or other religious artefacts

What about Chief Constable Betty saying Muslims aren’t doing enough to prevent terrorism?
This strikes me as a newsworthy story:

It says the arrested men in the Rhondda were all involved in drugs. As was Darren Tinklin, my own local bomb manufacturer. Worrying.
cjcjc is right. That Times article and Amnesty’s can of worms with Cage Prisoners is something which was bound to happen.
Nothing on Ali Dizai..?
Save the salivation until tomorrow, Julia M.
Plenty of people, not all of them white supremacists, feel utterly delighted that Ali Dizaei has been nailed at long bloody last.
I’m well aware of that, Martin, I’m reading the police blogs.
They seem to be wondering why it took so long…
Shame really, might have become a respected Judge. Instead decided to throw his lot in with the PC Ultras and mad multiculties in record time. Just another official who thinks the rights of ‘his people’ are somehow more important than the rights of the wider majority, in these ‘human rights’ matters at least. This ‘activist judge’ thinks he’s the Sikh Warren Burger. Wonder what the press will say first time he sends some scummy yoof down for carrying a blade.
The other news is of course that criminal in uniform, Commander Ali Dizaei. Bets are on if it will be CiF or Pickled who first imply it was a setup or somehow try and defend him!
Cif 2-1
Watch this space..
We can only thank the Met’s political correctness for keeping this guy out of jail for well over 5 or so years now.
They’d wonder what a judge that retired seven years ago was doing on the circuit.
But why let mere facts detract from the self-righteous rage!

The kirpan is a tiny concealed ceremonial dagger, right?
Not a stiletto or a meat cleaver or a machete.
Well, how many actual lacerations and/or deaths have been recorded in schools in India, Canada, Singapore and so on?
they finally did it!!!!
Muslim bus driver locks passengers aboard as he stops to pray
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/7187511/Muslim-bus-driver-locks-passengers-aboard-as-he-stops-to-pray.html
why none says, it’s “DailyMail faked it” again? actually not a single letter on this from “liberal” bloggers is seen here.
maybe because this time its true and that’s why it’s worth no attention from islamophobia fighters? true facts never matter here? I guess so
