@Cakes_Comics A very interesting movie but you'll have to read between the lines to understand why.

I have survived some of the darkest solitary in the UK prison system and I know some are trying to survive there today. Who watches the watchers?

Invite a homeless person to Christmas dinner and treat them as the guest of honour without being patronising. Feed, clothe and give presents and money. Make them feel loved, respected and worthy. Or you can run around like a headless chicken buying shit for people you don't like

Academic institutions are ill equipt to deal with Islamist extremists or ex-offenders. I'm living proof. Money and kudos motivates these institutions and they will fail everytime. Why? Ex-offenders are put into situations for finacial gain without any thought to how they feel.

There is no course or book that will enable you to ensure successful outcomes for convicted terrorist in the community and most of the rehabilitation is done from a patronising standpoint. More damage is done and more attacks will occur.

Can you get into a convicted Islamist brain and thought process without being invasive and patronising? No you can't but I can. Why? Because I've been there and I know what works.

Sadly more innocent people die You simply cannot 'mentor' convicted Islamist extremists unless you have been there yourself and understand the extremist mentality personally. More people will get hurt from academic SJW's who think they have the answer to rehabilitate them.

It's sad to see innocent people suffer from a senseless avoidable terrorist attack but Cambridge University and other academic institutions run the gauntlet: they are not equipt to work or deal with Islamic Extremists on all levels. They fail dramatically and always will.

I have spent most of my life around muslims some extremists and some liberals and I know the subtle intricies in their thinking methodology inside and outside of prison. These are things you can't teach or learn and it can only be earned in 24-7 mentoring situations.

@MaajidNawaz @MichaelSkolnik The links between religion/violence, politics/violence, economics/violence? Fake news, false prophets and greedy bankers. All are inexorably linked and intertwined with visible shifts of power.

I have been meeting Bosnians, Croatians, Serbians and Slovenians in Ljubijana today. All of them share harrowing stories of their experiences of imprisonment. I can relate to all of them on some level but mostly the psychological torture of solitary confinement.

@EdwinaGrosvenor @thesundaytimes @TheClinkCharity I have eaten at the Clink and the food was up there with some of the 3 michelin starred restaurants I have eaten in. Amazing fresh salmon and pine nut ravioli with melted butter...The best I have ever tasted.
