FROZEN ASSETS.



Can I say how underwhelmed I am by the decision today by Mr.Prudence, Gordon Brown, to direct the Bank of England, as agent for Her Majesty's Treasury, to direct financial institutions that any funds which they hold for or on behalf of the group Jama'at al-Tawhid Wa'al-Jihad (JTJ) must be frozen with immediate effect.



Why has it taken the death of Ken Bigley to force the Chancellor's hand? The terror group concerned has been carrying out atrocities for a considerable period of time. Are we to believe that if only they had have stuck to beheading Americans, then our Gordon would have been prepared to turn a blind eye to their financial dealings within the United Kingdom? And how come the slavish news report on this topic from the BBC did not see fit to ask this obvious question????
