the trouble is with Brown that he is now saying that our occupation of Afghanistan is to keep terror off the streets of Britain. He then mentions Pakistan. I think that Brown needs to choose his words very carefully. From what he is saying I would say that we are under threat from those Pakistanis who now live in this country, that they are a threat to our security. Now I regard myself as being rather clued up and I am sure that the impression to which I allude to is not one that Brown wishes to convey. However, he is whether by design or by accident.
I think that he needs to clarify his position and to confirm in no uncertain terms that he does not regard the Pakistanis who now live in our country as being a threat to our security. Either they are or they are not. It would appear not to be the Moslems who are a threat, it is now people from specific areas, crucibles of, well I am no longer sure what term the PM now wants to use but crucibles of something or other.
