Anti-terror plan to spy on toddlers
Reading this angered me so much today. Apparently even our toddlers can't be innocent.
Nursery school staff and registered childminders must report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists, under counter-terrorism measures proposed by the Government.
The directive is contained in a 39-page consultation document issued by the Home Office in a bid to bolster its Prevent anti-terrorism plan.
Critics said the idea was “unworkable” and “heavy-handed”, and accused the Government of treating teachers and carers as “spies”.
The document accompanies the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill, currently before parliament. It identifies nurseries and early years childcare providers, along with schools and universities, as having a duty “to prevent people being drawn into terrorism”.
The consultation paper adds: “Senior management and governors should make sure that staff have training that gives them the knowledge and confidence to identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism and challenge extremist ideas which can be used to legitimise terrorism and are shared by terrorist groups.
“They should know where and how to refer children and young people for further help.”
But concern was raised over the practicalities of making it a legal requirement for staff to inform on toddlers.
David Davis, the Conservative MP and former shadow home secretary, said: “It is hard to see how this can be implemented. It is unworkable. I have to say I cannot understand what they [nursery staff] are expected to do.
“Are they supposed to report some toddler who comes in praising a preacher deemed to be extreme? I don’t think so.
“It is heavy-handed.”
Mr Davis also accused the Home Office of pushing the legislation too quickly.
Isabella Sankey, the policy director at human rights body Liberty, said: “Turning our teachers and childminders into an army of involuntary spies will not stop the terrorist threat.

Young radicalised men going to fight in the middle east
There are reports that there are probably roughly a hundred young radicalised British men who have gone to fight in the middle east.
They were mostly radicalised here in the UK and told that it was their religious duty to go protect their brethren. Most will be committing hienous crimes against humanity from killing whole families to just babies.
Some will even perish in these foreign lands.
However the surviving babykillers on their return to the UK will not be arrested, interrogated and charged with terrorism.
That is because they have not joined ISIS or JuN, but the better armed more deadly Israeli Militia.
Israeli Militia's Modus Operandi
No one should be shocked at how Israel's militia works - it has been targetting civilians since its inception and terror and destruction has been its way.
Israel had a chance to leave that past behind, but it has chosen the path of terrorism.
The Israeli militia has simply been following the path laid down by its predecessors and one day soon there will be a demand for justice.
No sane person sides with babykillers.
CCTV Video footage catches the IDF murder two unarmed, non threatening children.
I try to avoid making topics about Israel because the wider Muslim world is in conflict and Israel can be dealt with once the rest is sorted out.
But this event isnt something "minor" like demolishing houses, harrasment or exclusion. It is murder of children. You can watch the cold blooded murder in the video available on The Guardian Website.
Anyone watching the video can see the lie in the IDF "explanation" that is also mentioned by The Guardian in an accompanying article:
'Suicide bomber' hits Russia's Volgograd train station
A female suicide bomber has been blamed for killing 15 people and leaving dozens more injured at a railway station in the southern Russian city of Volgograd.
Police identified the bomber as a Dagestan national called Oksana Aslanova - who had been married to two Islamists killed by Russian forces.
She apparently detonated a bomb in front of a metal detector inside the main entrance of the station. Russian television is suggesting there may have been two attackers.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered law enforcement agencies to take "all necessary measures".
Federal police spokesman Vladimir Kolesnikov said security would be stepped up at train stations and airports.
One witness, who gave his name as Vladimir, told a Russian TV station: "I heard the blast and ran toward it. I saw melted, twisted bits of metal, broken glass and bodies lying on the street."
rain station store attendant Valentina Petrichenko said: "It was a very powerful blast. Some people started running and others were thrown back by the wave of the blast. It was very scary."
The attack comes just weeks before the start of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, a town 430 miles southwest of Volgograd.
Sky News Moscow producer Yulia Bragina said: "It's very concerning with two months to go to the Sochi Olympics.
"The Russian security services are working 24/7 to make the Games safe for the sportsmen and people who want to visit the Olympics in Russia. There will be a big investigation into what has happened."
Crimes In The Name Of God
My views on the Woolwich atrocity are exactly the same as the vast majority of the UK population - they are that of utter shock and disgust. The thought that in this day and age people are STILL carrying out these crimes in the name of religion and their “God” is just beyond belief and to this day I still refuse to believe that any religion would sanction this.
I personally believe that this is used as an excuse in today’s society and a way of trying to justify what has been done and what people plan to do. I challenge anyone to read any religious scriptures and highlight where in those pages, it tells you to carry out these crimes in the name of God.
Editorial: What Have We Learnt From Woolwich?
Just when you thought terror and extremism in the name of religion in Britain had finally died down, it reared its ugly head in Woolwich, which shocked and disgusted the nation. Two crackpots committing a horrific murder happened to be Muslims and apparently did this barbaric act in the name of Islam.
The Taliban win
After 12 years of trying to kill them, of stating that they do not negotiate with terrorists, the US on the day it handed over the running of the country to the Afghan government has now announced that it will open direct negotiations with the Taliban.
12 years.
Countless dead.
and that is not an exaggeration - there is no exact figure for those that died, mainly because the invading forces did not consider it to be good for PR to count the numbers killed.
The invasion took place in the pretext of the 9/11 terrorist attacks where around 3,000 people died.
Trial of the century verdict is due
Samsung Vs Apple.
Apple says that Samsung copies its rounded corners and made lists bounce. They want $2.5 billion for it.
Samsung says that rounded corners already existed, and so did precursors to bouncing lists.
They also say that apple are using their technology (they basically helped design how the 3g system works) without paying them. They want $500million for it.
Apple is saying that yes they are using Samsung Tech, but they think they sould give something like less than a penny per device - and get $40 per samsung device for the rounded corners.
Samsung argue it is crazy to ask for such royalties for something so simple as rounded corners.
(and I hate Apple. Scumbags.)
Al-Qaida calls on Ahmadinejad to end 9/11 conspiracy theories
Terrorist organisation's magazine reportedly says it is 'ridiculous' for Iran's president to blame the attacks on the US government
Al-Qaida has sent a message to the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, asking him to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks.
Iranian media on Wednesday reported quotes from what appears to be an article published in the latest issue of the al-Qaida English language magazine, Inspire, which described Ahmadinejad's remarks over the 11 September attacks as "ridiculous".
