As Left Foot Forward points out, David Cameron has contradicted himself: this month he called for immigrants to have more “understanding of British values” as part of his strategy to tackle extremism, but at the same time is cutting funding for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) that enables those very people to integrate into society.

FOX News in particular has been bringing in anyone, whether with the requisite credentials to speak on the subject or not, who will share their viewpoints on the Muslim Brotherhood.

In their pursuit of Muammar Gaddafi’s downfall, the powers that led the charge into Iraq face both military and political problems.
The emerging pattern of resistance and repression in Libya following the outbreak of protest in the eastern city of Benghazi on 15 February 2011 is very different from that in other parts of the Arab world. In part this reflects the distinctive nature of the country, and of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi which has ruled Libya for forty-two years (see Fred Halliday, "Libya's regime at 40: a state of kleptocracy", 8 September 2009).

The Federal Minister for Minority Affairs Shahbaz Bhatti was killed on Wednesday in an attack on his vehicle in Islamabad. Two gunmen fired on Bhatti’s vehicle in I-8/3 area of the capital. He was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

The revoking of arms licences to Libya and Bahrain won’t last. British firms will be back, argues John Kampfner.
When Robin Cook tried to tighten rules on British arms sales to dodgy regimes in 1997 he was told by Tony Blair’s team to grow up. Planned changes to criteria for weapons exports were so watered down that they made no inroads into the trade. Cook’s professed “ethical dimension” to foreign policy was stillborn.
