Former British soldier Joe Glenton.
A former British trooper says the UK is Å“lucky” not to be experiencing more hate attacks like the Woolwich murder due to its governmentâ„¢s series of military invasions.
The former trooper made the remarks in an interview with the Russian state-run TV channel
Russia Today (RT), when he expounded on Britainâ„¢s safety as far as the so-called war on terror is concerned.
Å“Weâ„¢re very lucky that theyâ„¢ve only been so few attacks like this [Woolwich murder]. One of the banners we went to Afghanistan under was peace (peacekeeping) and in our peacekeeping operation we ran out of high explosive artillery ammunition”, said Joe Glenton.
Glenton, who refused to serve a second tour in Afghanistan, also described the UK governmentâ„¢s policies in the Middle East as a project, which is long-standing and propagates the 2001 9/11 incident.
Glentonâ„¢s response significantly differed to the Mayor of London, Boris Johnsonâ„¢s, who claimed that it is wrong to Å“draw any link” between the Woolwich killing and the UK governmentâ„¢s foreign policy or the actions of British troops in the Middle East.
On the other hand, since the Woolwich attack, Muslims in Britain have been victims of further hate crimes by far-right racist groups like the English Defence League (EDL) or British National Party (BNP) thugs.
So far, there have been a reported 12 violent hits on mosques across the UK, including one that was hit by three petrol bombs, up in Grimsby along with 200 Islamophobic incidents occurring in total.
