BRITAIN has become a “soft touch from within and without” for extremists, a devastating report warned yesterday.
Failure to “lay down the line” to immigrants who refuse to integrate has undermined the fight against radicals and terrorists.
This is the verdict of some of the country’s most respected defence experts.
In a scathing attack they blamed increasing terror threat on a “mis-placed deference” to multi-culturalism and lack of leadership.
The London 7/7 atrocities had exposed those weaknesses, it said. The report painted a crushing picture of the UK as a “fragmenting post-Christian society” divided over its history, aims and political identity.
A loss of confidence in the nation’s identity and institutions was increasingly making the country a target for attack.
And it compared that to the “implacability” of the Islamic terrorists now threatening from within our borders.
The hugely-damaging report, from the renowned Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), urged ministers to restore defence and security as the first duty of government.
In unusually strong language, it said: “We look like a soft touch. We are indeed a soft touch.”
It added that Britain was presenting itself as a target increasingly divided about interpretations of its history, about its national aims, its values and in its political identity.
“That fragmentation is worsened by the firm self-image of those elements within it who refuse to integrate,” it said.
The report is entitled Risk, Threat and Security. It is based on the deliberations of a group of academics and senior military figures.
They included the former chief of defence staff, Field Marshal Lord Inge; former deputy supreme allied commander in Europe, General Sir Rupert Smith; historian Professor Hew Strachan and ex-MI6 officer Baroness Park of Monmouth.
It was written by Professor Gwyn Prins of the London School of Economics and the Marquess of Salisbury, the former Conservative leader in the House of Lords.
They said the world appeared to be living in a “time of remission” between the 9/11 attacks of 2001 and their eventual successor which may deliver “an even greater psychological blow”.
“Thus we are in a confused and vulnerable condition,” it said. It warned the 7/7 attacks in 2005 exposed the weakness of the multi-cultural approach towards Islamists......Article conts (-)
