Granted I am not a Muslim, nor is my voice one that's heard by millions of ears. But am I not a member of this society? Do I not share influence with those around me, Muslim or not? Or are Muslims those that sit outside of our society? Do we all not jointly and collectively share in the responsibility of ensuring no member of our society feels so disconnected, who feels no warmth in the arms of British society that they would instead find comfort and warmth in the arms of extremists?\u003C\/pre\u003E\u003Cpre style=\"background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web Regular', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Helvetica Neue', 'BBAlpha Sans', 'S60 Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; white-space: normal;\"\u003EIf you wish to see who really shoulders the majority of the responsibility, then you'd need only look into a mirror. The letters you sent out should have been sent to all those in Westminster. I believe that it is Westminster that has the largest amount of influence when it comes to someone being radicalised or not. Actions speak louder than words Mr Pickles and a picture is worth a thousand words. Do you not believe that the pictures of civilians being killed in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and many more places at the hands of forces supported, funded and aided by Westminster have less of an impact than one extremist speech. Do you not feel that were these pictures not being painted by the hand of Westminster then speeches calling for an attack against the UK would carry all the weight of a feather. There is such a thing as a society and we are all a part of it. Religious, non religious. Blond hair, brown. Blue eyes, dark eyes. Light skin, dark skin. This is our society, there are no individual sections of it. Our society then looks to Westminster to lead it, is that not the point? And lead you do, however you seem to lead yourselves in one direction and point us towards another. Leading by example is always the best way. Rather than insisting others do more to end extremism perhaps you should do more to end extremism in the decisions you make. Decisions that affect people all over the world.\u003C\/pre\u003E\u003Cpre style=\"background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web Regular', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Helvetica Neue', 'BBAlpha Sans', 'S60 Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; white-space: normal;\"\u003EYou may respond to this letter if you wish or you may not, I wouldn't get offended if you didn't.

I was born in 1937 just before the outbreak of the war was evacuated to Devon a long with my sister, who was eight at the time. Not a good time for us and having lost our farther to leukaemia, who was a coal trimmer at the London electricity board in Stepney in East London, being so young never having the joy of a fathers love we were taken away from the family until the end of the war. My sister and I returned to find our mother had remarried to a friend of my fathers who had lost his wife, so we returned to a new father and four new brothers and sisters. I wish I could say it was 'happy ever after' but my mother lost her sight when I was thirteen. So sisters Mary, Kathleen, my brother John and I cared for her until her death. My youth was nothing to be proud of, in and out of all kinds of trouble until I meet a guy named Freddy Lake. This man was to have a profound effect on my life I was working at a waste paper company on the Isle of Dogs shipping waste paper over to Europe. He was a driver, driving all over London and I was asked if I would like to be the drivers mate, so I said yes 'Happy Days'. Fred had served in the war and was at Normandy fighting through Europe. As we drove around London and with the war only won four years earlier the talk was of battles won and lost and that young people like me must never see the likes of them times again. Talk was always about peace and politics and that the only way is 'Socialism', I was hooked. I was called up for National Service, also not a happy time serving in Northern Ireland, Germany and Cyprus during 1955\/77, army life was never for me. I returned to Civvy Street where I meet Maureen, we married and I retuned to loading ships. I later joined the Ford Motor Company and stayed there twenty two years. I was already a union member of the TGWU and was shop steward for janitors Engine Plant then moved to Soft Trim Shop and was a Steward for sewing machinists in 1982, successful in girls winning their grading grievances battle. Time to move on, I took early retirement, bought a small van and took work has a courier. I was asked to stand in a by election for Labour in Eastbury Ward, then a Liberal ward, where I over turned a former majority of 128 and lost by for votes. 2006\/10 we won two seats, and by 2010 we took all three seat. However in 2013 i was 'DUMPED'.
