How I despair of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith , whose latest piece of wishy-washy gimmicky nonsense is some vague notion of recruiting 300  police officers to try to dissuade Islamic young men from being converted to terrorism .
" Excuse me young man , are you by any chance being radicalised ? "
That just might do some good if all of those police officers are Muslims , though surely a simpler and more intelligent approach would be to lock up  or deport anyone who there's irrefutable documented evidence of their unequivocally having tried to incite others to hate and murder .
But 'oh no you can't do that , that's racist' , so we have to stand idly by while a small but significant minority systematically  set about  trying to  instigate indiscriminate mass murder - seeking to justify that by citing U.S and UK 'foreign policy' , although many people deplore that without wanting to kill civilians .

I almost bought a ticket for latitude last night , but for some reason  did'nt feel right about it so I did'nt , and , I've realised , I'd been confusing Franz Ferdinand with the Kaiser Chiefs !

I chucked out all of my cheap woolworths 'worth it' dvd-r discs , for use with my dvd recorder , because the machine rejects most of them as unusable , so definitely not 'worth it' .
