Jew-Hating London Mayor :
Anti-Terror Plans Counter-Productive, Warns London Mayor
Az Conservative ^ | Aug 19, 2005 | John Semmens

The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, expressed serious reservations about the British government's new anti-terror plans.

“Terrorism is ill-defined,” said Livingstone. “Is bombing trains terrorism? We bombed plenty of German trains during the Second World War. Some consider the American Revolutionaries terrorists. They dumped tea into Boston Harbor some 200 years ago. That was mighty irksome.”

The Home Office is holding consultations, including with British Muslims, over plans to exclude and deport people for preaching, fermenting or provoking terrorism. This is seen as directed at Muslim “extremism,” which Prime Minister Tony Blair is blaming for July's London bombings.

Livingstone says he is opposed to the introduction of legislation or any extension of powers which could result in the exclusion or criminalization of individuals who merely preach, ferment or provoke attacks.
