They were British!

The astounding news coming out of London today is the revelation that the four bombers were more than likely, British born subjects. Forget about Al Quaeda infiltrating and moving through Europe's porous borders; the U.K. , as we suspected in the case of the infamous shoe bomber is now producing its own breed of home-grown terrorists.
Historically speaking the British are now reaping the whirlwind of a collapsed empire where the attempts at colonial patronage, extended to places like Pakistan and India, as well as the African continent, have enabled diverse religious and ethnic communities to have access to British commerce and prosperity without needing to assimilate to British culture. They have become in some extreme cases - "the enemy within". The radicalism fermented in Mosques up and down the length and breadth of Britain now receives scant attention due to the prevailing mood of multi-culturalism, now so fashionable in political and educational circles and encouraged by the rampant liberalism of the B.B.C.
As an ex-patriate Brit, I am dismayed that a nation that less than seventy years ago withstood a tide that threatened their very way of life and existence has in recent years rolled over and played dead in the face of a blatant assault on the character and tradition that made Britain the envy of the developing world.
In protest I shall now drink a cup of tea and read "Cold Comfort Farm"!!
