@UK: William Hague Must Sack British Ambassador Over Hizbollah Tribute
From the foreign office to the lowest official at the local council office UK government departments are infested with the hate the indigenous lower class love islam class.
To remove these grand tourists of islam would take a purge that only a determined executive could deliver. William Hague's recent sucking up speech regarding Turkey marks this big society government as subservient to islam, its only appetite for destruction is to destroy the indigenous lower class this has been the neoliberal political elites obsession since Thatcher.
