Livingstone v. Blair
While London’s Dhimmi mayor, Ken Livingstone, defends Muslims in the wake of a Muslim terrorist attack, Tony Blair goes out with a bang, ripping into Islamists for nurturing a false sense of grievance:
“The idea that as a Muslim in this country that you don’t have the freedom to express your religion or your views, I mean you’ve got far more freedom in this country than you do in most Muslim countries,” Blair told Observer columnist Will Hutton, who presents the documentary.
“The reason we are finding it hard to win this battle is that we’re not actually fighting it properly. We’re not actually standing up to these people and saying, “It’s not just your methods that are wrong, your ideas are absurd. Nobody is oppressing you. Your sense of grievance isn’t justified.”

“When I’m trying to change the law in order to make it easier to deport people who engage in terrorism - the idea that that’s an assault on hundreds of years of British civil liberties is completely absurd. Some of what is written on this is loopy-loo in its extremism.”
