"Londonistan"

Nick Cohen writes that, "Everyone now condemns past governments for allowing London to become 'Londonistan', a centre for Islamist exiles"

To the best of my knowledge, only very right-wing Americans who choose to spend their time writing on the internet about Muslims (and Melanie Phillips) use the word 'Londonistan'. The idea that there is a consensus about the existence of 'Londonistan', and that is a failing of successive governments, shows what can happen through making excessive use of the internet to read only websites that you agree with.

Perhaps this explains why someone who used to make a living from attacking New Labour for eroding civil liberties, and more recently attacking the French for putting national interest ahead of universal principles of justice now thinks that in the case of deporting people to face torture, we should, er, prioritise our national interest ahead of protection of liberties.
