£140 million's worth of advice to the UK government

"... the 140 million pound ($230 million) Preventing Violent Extremism (Prevent) program is now facing serious criticism, not just from within the Muslim community, but from civil liberties groups."

If they gave me the money I would tell the government exactly how to prevent violent extremism.

1. Withdraw British soldiers from Afghanistan and apologise to the Afghans.
   
2. Withdraw British presence from Iraq and apologise to the Iraqis.
   
3. Dissociate the UK from the US and formally declare an end to the Special Poodle Relationship.
   
4. Declare that the UK is now steadfastly neutral on Israel's right to exist.
5. Declare that the government will promote social cohesion through family values thereby decreasing the likelihood adolescent angst likely to result in explosive acts of violence.
   

There. £140 million, please!
