Well this brings us to one of the central questions of politics in a democracy: is this woman just knowingly talking complete bollocks, with the conviction to enforce that bollocks on the country to whatever destructive effect, purely for the sake of power?
Anyone with enough braincells to generate concious thought can see that banning ideas is going to make matters worse by cementing the 'us and them' mentality already present in the minds of the people we're worried about. I struggle with this question: is she really so thick as to be unable to see this (while also being clever enough to hold down the job of Home Sec) or so evil that she's quite prepared to exacerbate the problem of Islamist radicalisation for the sake of courting votes from the thickie right?
My money's on evil rather than thick as mince.
