Nothing like whipping up nationalistic fervor in times of a crisis. Will Mr.Howard claim responsibility for the inevitable influx of hate crimes now? After all he has deemed multiculturalism as "outdated".

If the best way to treat foreign born citizens who are threats to national security is to remove them from this country, what would Mr.Howard and Charles Clarke suggest for British born citizens? Shall we arrest every one who doesnt share the governments thoughts?

Very dangerous times and it reeks of Hitler's Germany. Whip up nationalistic sentiment, target a specific minority, justify targeting them all. Whats next?
