Soft On Terrorism.
// One of the world’s most prolific terrorist financiers has finally been banned from doing business in Britain — 10 months after he was hit with sanctions by the United States.
Abd al-Rahman bin Umayr al-Nuaymi, a Qatari who is accused of sending more than £1 million a month to al-Qaeda jihadists in Iraq, has been added to a list of terrorist suspects and groups targeted with financial sanctions in Britain.
The move by the Treasury will freeze any assets he has in the UK and prevent any banks with British offices from dealing with him. //

Why the 10 month delay?
10 months must have been a sufficient amount of time for him to move any assets to safety, thus maximising the money that the terrorists are receiving. He has now been added to a list, so he must be quaking in his sandals.
Why are we soft on mega wealthy Arabs?
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE are the source of donations that finance IS. Yet very little is done about them. The Arab spring was discouraged in those oppressive nations, when Saudi Arabia sent tanks in to crush opposition to the Bahrain, our Government was silent. It seems if they are fabulously wealthy, they can get away with anything.

On a day trip from Gillingham or Southend (which could easily cost them about £200 for four unless they take a packed lunch), these frustrated citizens can wander the silent and shuttered streets of Belgravia and Holland Park and admire the empty palaces where Russians or Arabs park their money but not their children. Such an average family would not be human if it did not sometimes ask itself how much all this openness, diversity and tolerance do for it. Hence the rise of Ukip.

I believe Farage said recently that he has plans to stop murky activity by such persons, were he ever in a position to do so. Watch this space.....

Blackadder v - I speak to French people every day and they confirm that Paris is no longer France, or not the France they recognise and know. The country folk feel more and more marginalised (just as is happening in UK) - this is very worrying and is why I think that the National Front could win the next election ----and they are in no way as mild as Ukip, believe me, please.
Didn't UKIP flop in London's Local Elections? Londoners rejected the message.

But there's the crux of it Gromit. There are Londoners and there are people who live and work in London.
They're eons apart.
Londonistan, Cosmopolia, Huge Melting Pot, call it whatever you like but it is most certainly not representative of the rest of the UK electorate.
White flight has ensured that.
