At the time the Muslim Council Of Great Britain, or whatever its called was largely silent, but now as these kind of things become more common, they have started to say it is unnecessary patronisation of Muslims.

Also, if I was a solidly right-wing I would declare it, but i'm not really. The last political poll I took, which was one to decide what presidential candidate was right for me came out as Edwards, Kerry then Bush I like to think of myself as independant, but as time goes on and I get older, i'm becoming more and more right-leaning. That said I do believe in some of the staples of the left-wing manifesto, like right to have an abortion, a government recognised union of gay people, a fair, balanced, common-sense based welfare system. The right wing bits that come in are normally to do with fiancial policies and such. A country is like a business and needs to be run so. I'm against a national service obviously, i'm pro-capital punishment, I think for certain cases, and I don't think schools should bring back the birch, but I think they should maybe more scope for disciplining kids. I've said it before, the country doesn't need a right or left wing government. It needs a bit of both.
Finally someone after my own heart.
