Anthony Browne blasts British appeasement in The Times:

As the rest of Europe acts, extreme Islamists take advantage of British naivety

In the 1930s it was Edward VIII, aristocrats and the Daily Mail; this time it is left-wing activists, The Guardian and sections of the BBC. They may not want a global theocracy, but they are like the West’s apologists for the Soviet Union — useful idiots.
