JOHN MAJOR CALLS FOR DEPORATION OF JIHADIST INCITERS

UK TELEGRAPH: Foreign-born preachers who "spit hate" at the British way of life and radicalise young Muslims should be deported, Sir John Major, the former Conservative prime minister, said yesterday. ... While he acknowledged it would be difficult to balance new restrictions against freedom of speech, it would be "justifiable to protect the public". "As far as those who literally spit hate at our country and incite, I personally would be prepared to deport those where it is clear that what they are doing is causing civil unrest." ... He also defended the police involved in the fatal shooting of a Brazilian man at Stockwell Tube station. "I rather prefer the expression shoot-to-protect rather than shoot-to-kill. I think that is a more accurate description of what happened."

Maybe the Tories should bring him back to succeed Michael Howard? That is, if Maggie still won't take the job!
