British universities are breeding-grounds of the most appalling hatred against America, the UK, Israel, free-thinkers, "apostates," and religious and sexual minorities What is worse, is that organizations who lie and lie and lie again can get away with it.
Four years ago, on Christmas Day, a young Muslim who had recently finished his studies at a British university tried to blow up a plane over Detroit. Had Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab's plan succeeded, he would have killed all the people on the trans-continental plane he was on, and many more on the ground below. Fortunately Abdulmutallab's bomb failed to go off properly and, in what must be an undesirable outcome for even the most committed jihadi, he succeeded only in setting fire to his genitals.
One of the more technically notable facts about the would-be Detroit bomber is that he had recently been the head of the Islamic Society at University College London. Some of us had warned for some time that Islamic societies at British university campuses in general, and London campuses in particular, had become hotbeds of Islamic extremism. We had been criticized for doing so, but the facts were behind us.
What was educational for those of us who saw the post-Detroit cover-up was that it began with denial and ended with a whitewash.

Good idea.
Next war, the UK should stay home, unless there is something in it for them.
Maybe that will encourage us, to think twice...
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes, lol, its sounds a lot like the UK I know.
Although London should NEVER be taken for the rest of England, let alone the UK. In fact, what London may be is usually the opposite of the rest of the UK.
It sounds that by and large you and your good wife had a positive experience. We aren’t perfect, and we have plenty of idiots and scum, but the UK is still a good country, even great country and a good people.
London isn’t the UK the way LA and NYC (and Washington, DC) are not the US. They’re a lot weirder than normal folk.
It is still awesome. As I said, I could probably spend a month there and not see everything - and I’m not talking about clubs and restaurants, but about museums, historical sites, literary references (who can resist looking for 221 Baker Street?).
I also wished I’d scheduled a day or two for Oxford rather than just doing Duxford and running off to Leeds.
And finally, there are a bunch of castles and forts I would have liked to visit.
