It’s not very often the Bristol Post manages to come up with an exclusive, but today’s online edition proved a winner on that score.
The text below was concealed in a letter to Post from reader Stephen Farthing:
THE news of 15-year-old girl Yusra Hussien leaving Bristol to become a supporter of IS, allegedly, is a worrying outcome and I echo what Stephen Williams said, that such an objective is not only foolish but profoundly unwise.
In some ways, what Al Qaeda started in 2001 has produced many problems of his kind.
Yes, you did read that correctly: “problems of his kind“, i.e. problems like him, if you prefer to paraphrase.
The Post has exclusively revealed that Bristol West MP Stephen Williams is a problem that has been caused by Al Qaeda, an organisation never before known for its links to the UK’s Liberal Democratic Party, let alone elected members thereof.
Perhaps Mr Williams would care to comment on his links to Al Qaeda below; or alternatively perhaps the Post could employ a little more care when publishing reader’s letters where a lost or missing consonant can give a phrase a whole new meaning.
