Something vaguely interesting in the wake of recent terrorist attacks.

If he were a patriot, he could grow a big beard, infiltrate radical mosques and pretend to be radicalised, passing on vital intelligence about these people to the authorities.

Well, he could, if he weren't a snivelling coward living his life in peace and prosperity courtesy of my sacrifices in two world wars

[Burney]

I guess I could offer myself up to the intelligence services?

Yup. Just hang around Finsbury Park Mosque looking curious.

They'd have to train you out of talking like Shylock though. You can't wander into a mosque with a tea towel on your head going, "Salam aleikum already, :handwringing: oy ve vot about that 2 pence you borrowed from me last week, with interest the total is now 6 million pounds my boy." They'll suss you out

Actually, I'd say that being anti-Allanism when you live, work and socialise almost exclusively in liberal metropolitan circles is equally dangerous and courageous an endeavour as infiltrating a mosque.

If you speak your mind at a dinner party you're literally taking your life in your hands, Jeff.

You haven't started socialising with gentiles now, have you?
