["Some three or four generations on from Windrush, it is now a settled and irreversible fact that we are a multi-ethnic society. Managing immigration effectively and fairly in the public interest should and does matter to Britons from different ethnic backgrounds. We should be suspicious of approaches that sharply polarise British citizens along racial lines, in whatever direction".]

The think-tank British Future has recently published the report How to talk about immigration based on research conducted by ICM, Ipsos MORI and YouGov. The report purports to provide a blueprint for both the pros and antis in the immigration debate to manage the subject most effectively in public discussion.

This is not something which they achieve because they have bought into the internationalist agenda, viz: "Some three or four generations on from Windrush, it is now a settled and irreversible fact that we are a multi-ethnic society. Managing immigration effectively and fairly in the public interest should and does matter to Britons from different ethnic backgrounds. We should be suspicious of approaches that sharply polarise British citizens along racial lines, in whatever direction".

Nonetheless the research does have much of interest. One finding is truly startling. Faced with the question "The government should insist that all immigrants should return to the countries they came from, whether they're here legally or illegally" the result was agree 25%, disagree 52% and neither 23% (p.17 of the report). In addition, many of those who said no to forced repatriation were also firm supporters of strong border controls and restrictive immigration policies.

I would not say in détails on Creator Forum but SADF overlooked me. Never held her part of our contract.

["When the security and intelligence agencies tell us that the threat we face is now more dangerous than at any time before or since 9/11 we should take notice,"]

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is facing the biggest terrorism threat in its history and has foiled around 40 major plots since suicide bombers attacked London in 2005, Home Secretary Theresa May said on Monday.

The government would on Wednesday set out new laws to take on the militants, May added, including legislation making it easier for security services to track attackers online, and check if radicalised fighters were flying into Britain.

"When the security and intelligence agencies tell us that the threat we face is now more dangerous than at any time before or since 9/11 we should take notice," the home secretary said in a speech.

Insurance companies would be barred from providing cover for ransom payments under the new legislation and airlines would be banned if they failed to provide information on passengers flying to Britain, she added.

The government has said Britons returning from fighting in Syria and Iraq provide one of the most serious threats.

May said around 40 terrorist plots had been disrupted since four young Britons carried out suicide bomb attacks in London in 2005, killing 52 people.

These included attempts to conduct Mumbai-style gun attacks on British streets, blow up the London Stock Exchange, bring down airliners and murder a British ambassador and military servicemen, she added.

"Almost all of these attacks have been prevented," said May. "But ... the terrorists only have to be lucky once."
Planned new measures include giving police the power to seize for up to 30 days the passports of British and foreign nationals suspected of travelling to take part in terrorist-related activities, said May.

The new laws will also make it easier for police to identify who is using an Internet service at any given time.

London's top police officer on Sunday said authorities are increasingly worried about a "lone wolf"-style attack and have foiled four or five plots this year.

On Monday, Mark Rowley, Britain's top counter-terrorism officer, said police were "stretched" but had stepped up their efforts, making 271 arrests this year. Warning the threat would remain high for several years, he said the public's help was needed in spotting potential attackers.

Around half of Britons travelling to Syria are newly radicalised and not previously known to police, Rowley said.

"I would never use the word inevitable but of course ... terrorists do sometimes succeed," he added. "We are going to do everything we possibly can do to stop that happening."

Britain raised its terrorism alert to the second-highest level in August, saying an attack was now "highly likely".

UK Interior Minister: Biggest Threat to British Security Since 9/11

["It is incredibly important that we are not naive,"]

Denmark paid unemployment benefits to 28 people while they were waging war for the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria, the Danish intelligence service was quoted as saying on Thursday.

Out of the 28 Danish people identified by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) as having received benefits, 15 had been ordered to pay the money back, eight people were still being investigated, and five cases had been dropped due to insufficient evidence, tabloid BT reported.

"It is incredibly important that we are not naive," Danish Justice Minister Mette Frederiksen told the daily when asked about the data, which was found by merging records kept by different authorities. Denmark has one of the world's most generous unemployment insurance systems, with those on the scheme receiving up to 801 kroner per day (108 euros, $134) for up to two years.

However, some of the jihadists were on a significantly more modest basic unemployment benefit also paid in Denmark. Denmark has the second largest number of foreign fighters in Syria relative to its size among Western nations, after Belgium, according to some estimates.

The Danish intelligence service has said "more than 100" Danes have left the country for Syria's bloody civil war, but a Danish commentator on Middle Eastern affairs, Naser Khader, said he believed the estimate - from June - was higher and needed to be revised upwards.

"The figure is rising in many other countries, so why should that not be the case in Denmark?" he told the Berlingske newspaper. Germany's intelligence agency said last week it believes 550 Germans have joined extremist groups in Syria and Iraq. Authorities had previously estimated the number at 450.

Britain believes around 500 of its citizens are fighting for IS.

[ISIS offers help if Ferguson protesters accept Islam, swear loyalty to caliph]

ISIS offers help if Ferguson protesters accept Islam, swear loyalty to caliph

On Tuesday, Ferguson protesters received an offer of help from the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, the militant group that has taken control of large areas of Syria and Iraq. The offer of assistance came in the form of a tweet that promised help if protesters accept Islam and pledge allegiance to the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

"Accept islam & give bayah to abu bakr al baghdadi & then we will send u soldiers that dont sleep (sic)," tweeted an individual identified as British-born jihadi Junaid Hussain, a 20-year-old militant who now goes by the name Abu Hussain al-Britani. The account that sent the tweet has since been suspended, but the tweet has caught the attention of a number of people.

Writing at PJ Media, Bridget Johnson noted that another jihadist Twitter account indicated that ISIS fighters may show up in Ferguson, Missouri, whether protesters accept their offer or not. "You never know if Dawlah supporters are getting in on the action in Ferguson, especially since more protests are planned," said "AbuUmar8246."

Others urged the Ferguson protesters to continue fighting while encouraging them to embrace Islam. Another tweet by Hussain encouraged protesters to reject American democracy: "We hear you and we will help you if you accept Islam and reject corrupt man-made laws like democracy and pledge your allegiance to Caliph Abu Bakr and then we will shed our blood for you and send our soldiers that don't sleep, whose drink is blood, and their play is carnage."

ISIS militants are well-known for their brutality, beheading anyone who does not conform to their brand of radical Islam. As we have reported, ISIS fighters have systematically beheaded children in Mosul and buried women and children alive in mass graves. The Anglican vicar of Baghdad said ISIS militants cut a five-year-old boy in half, and another witness said militants tore a woman in two after tying her to multiple vehicles. Another report claimed al-Baghdadi gave fighters permission to eat babies, but that report has not yet been confirmed.

It's not the first time ISIS has tried to capitalize on the unrest in Ferguson, Townhall noted. In August, a sign that read, "ISIS is here," was spotted in a CNN report.

"Whether ISIS will successfully make inroads in Ferguson remains to be seen, but the thought alone is chilling," Leah Barkoukis said. Even more chilling is the thought that the Obama administration may do nothing to prevent intervention by ISIS radicals. There is no word yet on whether or not protesters have rejected the offer of assistance from a group that is a declared enemy of the United States.
