Anjem Coudary’s Islam4UK Cancels Wootton Bassett Walkabout
NEWS is that would-be panto villain Anjem Choudary will not lead his Muslim group Islam4UK through the town of Wootton Bassett. Nor will he lead them through Wootton Basset, as he and Jon Gaunt have agreed to call it.
The result is that we won’t have to endure hundreds of hacks telling us what to make of a group of men who want to walk down a provincial high street singing lusty songs of sober drunken nights out in Kabul.
Mail readers won’t be outraged and offended. Guardian readers won’t be offended and outraged.
The only downer is that the Ye Olde Gifte Shoppe On Wootoon Basseet high road is lumbered with 400 snow globes of Osama bin Laden telling his favouite joke, baseball caps saying “Churchill took it up the ar**” and novelty yashmacks in patriotic red, white and blue…
“We at islam4uk have decided, after consultation with others, including our Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, that no more could be achieved even if a procession were to take place in Wootton Bassett.
“And in light of this we would like to announce today that there will no longer be a procession through this market town.”
The news is that the march, or non-march, was done this “successfully”. In which we can only add that Barack Obama’s invasion of Yemen has been a raging hit and the battle for Afghanistan can be won in a day if we call work hard towards a really terrific press release…
