…some communities are “very suspicious” of Prevent and stressed the importance of being as transparent as possible about a programme which has drawn accusations of secrecy.

The secrecy is the crux of the issue. How effective is this so-called program? Who are those being recommended? That such a program is largely secret, yet receives at least 60 referrals per week, suggests that it is out of control and could even itself pose a threat to British citizens, who are being kept in the dark. The public is paying for this program with no accountability on the part of authorities, yet again.

There should long ago have been widespread protests over the million British girls who were assaulted by Muslim rape gangs, but there weren’t, so the announcement that sixty children per week are being referred to a counter-terrorism program likely will not elicit any significant pubic queries.

The mastermind behind the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, stated that:

The entire West has become tired, frightened and weary. The fact that 60 children per week are being referred to a counter-terrorism program is indication either that the foe is relentless or that the law enforcement apparatus is overwhelmed and wearying — or both.
