In 2011, there was a meeting of like minds to tackle something of a tricky subject. That tricky subject was multiculturalism and Islam: how to dismantle the first and how to stop the rise of, and influence, of the second.
I’ve seen a witness statement which alleges that
“On 10 February 2011 Mr Gerard Batten MEP held the meeting with Sam Solomon, ‘the greatest World expert on Islam’ (as described by Gerard Batten MEP), Andrea Minichiello Williams, Director of CCFON (Christian Concern for Our Nation Ltd) and Christian Legal Centre, Andrew Marsh, Campaigns Director of CCFON (Christian Concern for Our Nation Ltd) and Christian Legal Centre (evidence 43) at the offices of CCFON (Christian Concern for Our Nation Ltd) and Christian Legal Centre, 70 Wimpole Street, London W1G 8AX. Through the meeting there was also phone participant Mr Tommy Robinson, Leader of EDL (English Defence League) via Mr Solomon’s mobile phone. After the meeting Mr Batten produced following documents: ‘Dismantling Multiculturalism’, ‘Code of Conduct’ and ‘UKIP Burqa’”
Why would UKIP be meeting with Andrea Minichiello Williams of Christian Concern, with the involvement of infamous islamophobes Sam Solomon and Tommy Robinson?
